Ranger solo gameplay style

[Keebz]

I played ranger untwinked in classic and solo'd quite a bit.

Generally, you are doing some combination of face tanking + root and shoot. It is a little tedious but gets the job done. On the plus side, outdoors you can snare + bow kite pretty much anything that doesn't summon, even deep reds. So if you're lvl 15 and you need to kill a lvl 37 warrior mob outdoors, you can absolutely do it, albeit slowly.

With Kunark, you have some new goodies (e.g. Tolans, Swarmcaller, Fungi, Haste Cloak apparently, etc.) that will make the whole process easier. If you don't have a bunch of plat and or belong to a raiding guild, these will be less impactful of course, but they are there for you eventually. Velious will continue to bring fun toys to the class.

All in all, It is a pretty great 'explore the world' class. On my ranger, I can get around most places with ease, but no so much indoor dungeons. If you're looking for a dungeon crawling class, Ranger aint it.
