Scenario A: You are preparing a group for a dungeon crawl, and you have one slot left to fill and since all your bases are covered it can be anything. Which is the LAST class you pick?

Answer: Ranger. Brings nothing to the group but average DPS and a huge xp penalty.

This assumes you properly filled your slots. If it's a basic kickball game pick the Rogue offers way more than the Ranger with damage numbers. If you have heavy dps already there are plenty of reasons to pick a Ranger. Hopefully one of the factors is, "Oh that's ____, he/she's cool!" There is the player behind the toon which is the most valuable part of a quality group.

You can see hybrids as a exp robbing less efficient version of the pure class(s), or you can see them as a highly versatile class offering a skilled player a chance to shine.

A pure melee is just as good as it's equipment. With a hybrid that's just where the game starts. They have more than 3 buttons to mash. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

In the end it doesn't matter. The game is meant to be enjoyed. Luckily a Ranger has some ability to solo which as it seems is more fun than perma-LFG. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
