Rangers - misunderstood or actually bad?

[Hardaek]

A twink ranger is comparable to most melee classes up until late 20s where they wont do as much dmg and not bring more utility than most other classes.

I have always had a lot of fun playing my Rangres. But they have always been Alts that I play when I need a break from my main. I love the Archery and Fletching. Also I usually play them solo but then I play mostly solo on all my toons. But i do keep all my weapon skills maxed as well as Kick and Taunt in case I do get a group, I can at least off tank or main assist if not actually MT.

I never advise anyone against playing any class or race. As always YMMV.

Play what you enjoy. If you are not in it for the fun, then what the Hell are you doing here?
