Bored at work, so here's a ranger thread

[koros]

Why does everyone hate on the ranger xp penalty, but are perfectly fine with a 44% monk penalty?

Yeah a monk might do a little more dps, but with nukes and a woodsmans staff, a ranger isn't going to be very far behind. Add in another 5-10 dps from thorns (if no other DSer), and a ranger is on par in many exp situations with tons of added utility.

Edit: 44% iksar monk penalty
