I am not saying again I hate Rangers. I have one on here, EQMac. Sleeper and Live. I know what they can do. I had a dual epic one one live in 2001.

They just are gimped as hell on here and you guys know it. Without AA's they sort of suck. Endless Quiver AA made a hell of a difference on them. But that isn't happening here. I never turn one down on here in a group but they are not the top choice anyone is looking for either.

Being a Ranger or a Wizard is a sucky way to go on this server. And you are not ever going to tell me as a assist melee in a group they are going to be a BIG TIME dps machine. They will close to a Warrior DPS and that is that. Not going to cast damage spells and crap. Will snare and that is it mostly on mobs. Which is THEIR job to do.

I've come to realize now from your post that you really have no idea what you're talking about. First off stop comparing rangers from live to other classes based on AA's. We are a Kunark era server and everything else is beyond the point I think you are trying to make.

Short and sweet, rangers do as much dps as warriors or monks with equivalent gear, plus have beneficial spells to enhance the group overall. You don't invite a ranger to the group because you want the best dps, or the best cc, you invite the ranger to balance the shitty group makeup you already have and he/she balances it out.
