Is Ranger DPS, really that bad?

further to that, you should never touch your taunt button (other than to work skill) unless the tank dropped and someone gets nukehappy and you need to snap it off of em.

Lets first start off that the ranger is a purist class, we dont care if you think we suck its about the playing style and thats what should matter

the tank should never drop due to root proxy aggro. tank takes a few steps back ranger steps up to bat and knocks it out of the park.your taunt key is useless unless ur actually main tank. its best to rely on your snare/root combo to control aggro via Ghetto Ranger CC

as for rangers not tanking ive heard this a million times. even in the character creation screen it says rangers are warrior's of nature(lol) with the right gear and group combo anythign is possible and to just flat out say "gar's cant tank lul" is just closed minded.

on a side note, if you going to play a ranger please understand that you just started the game on HARD MODE(NIGHTMARE if its your first char) its not going to be easy, your gonna train and people are gonna dislike you for it . ranger is not a lazy class and requires you to be attnetive to whats going on.

last but not least a good ranger is easily shines in a group vs the other classes. that enough should keep you in groups in the future and motivated to get to lvl 50 that and haters. rangers love their haters <3

Well, I played a ranger in 1999 for a short while, never went back to it. Eventually played a warrior through '99 into the Velious era, tanking through ToV, and I pulled all the basic dungeons from sol b, guk, kunark dungeons, and Velious dungeons.

I was just questioning (Ranger DPS) because people seem to always bash them everywhere I go. I bet if we had damage parsers we could see that a ranger played by someone who isn't half-retarded could get some good DPS on the charts.

I think I'll go ahead and roll a ranger 2ndary char. I am more than confident I can excel at a ranger, and maybe help to put an end to the jokes. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
