What's the purpose of a Ranger?

[Swarws]

Rangers are just like any other class, When controlled by a skilled gamer they are extremely good and extremely useful in raid and group settings and can solo. Until Luclin and AAs they are more of a support utility class than straight DPS, but they are really fun to play and you can do some really cool stuff pulling wise and CC wise in Plane of Fear and Hate. Also our rangers with Mistwalkers did the most dps of anyone until kunark came out.

Quick Example IB used to break fear and just have rangers kite everything on the west wall till it was broke and at the same time Dpsing with a bow on the assist mob. Or have someone split out the maestro or any other from Hate. Also, While bow dps isnt the greatest its very useful for mobs that have PBAEs to have sustained dps without damage taken. In Vel Trueshot disc is really useful on many fights for this reason.
