Wait, so you're telling me rangers can actually be decent in classic eq pvp? Ive always wanted to play a Ranger on EQ but ive never felt i could justify it. Can someone confirm this?

Why would you need to justify it? If you enjoy playing the class, play it. You'll certainly not lose every battle, and at the start when people don't really have mr gear you'll be awesome with snare. No class is so bad for pvp that they are completely worthless.

I realize you should play what you enjoy, but if rangers were so gimped that i would just be getting rolled the whole time it would take a lot of the fun out of it. If they are actually semi decent pvp wise i might give it a shot.

If I were you, I'd play a ranger. Don't listen to these min/maxers. There are some very decent ranger 2 handers (particularly when kunark and velious are out) that will be great for jousting. You get track, which you can filter, that's a huge plus. Your spells are not as useless as people would have you believe. Being one of three classes that can sow is a huge plus alone. And you get crits with your bow. You're not really going to be getting any PKs just for your bow skills, but it is certainly an advantage when you can throw in some extra damage this way. HP are not gonna be THAT terrible, and you can buff your own resists and channel pumice (plus get dispell spell).

Rangers are fine.

Yes rangers blow in classic, only worse is rogue.

Again, this thread sucks. Some douchebag from sz talking about shit none of you will worry about/experience for over a year. He's never PVP'd in classic and he will be stomped into the ground like the useless troglodyte he is.

Obviously a terrible player saying things that are such far from the truth. Rangers are a top tier PvP class in classic just like every other expansion unless you're a horrible player.

I remember when Abacab said something similar to me about rangers before then bothered me for like an hour till I logged in to duel him and look what happened.

Yes, you're a genius dude, I've never even heard of you before and you've never fought me in game but type 10 psychopath posts in a row highlighting your mental instability trying to talk shit to me. There are 0 of you trash TZVZ players that concern me.

Why don't you type out your SZ name and guild so we can all have a good laugh.

Wehrmacht, considering you started by saying that bard dots didn't have a resist debuff component (which they always have) and that fungi tunic could out-regen a bard dot (which isn't true), it's pretty much impossible to trust your account of how classic was. Especially when your version of classic has occlusion of sound, t-staffs and fungi tunics in it.

Giegue I don't give a shit about your bard nitpicking over stupid things. I don't know the full 1999-2011 history of bard spells. All I know is that their damage chants didn't land worth a damn when they attacked me so I wasn't very worried when I saw them.

If they actually were a good PvP class, they would have been everywhere, but in reality, they were probably the least popular PvP class in all of EQ classic through Velious. There's no point in discussing level 10 PvP when people have 0 resists.

Seriously?

I can only think of one female that was a semi-factor in the entire history of EQ PvP, some girl named Hamadryad in <Darkenbane>. So basically 0.001% of the population. Most of that relevance was derived from posting pictures of herself on msg boards. How is it not a valid point lol.
