Saw an interesting conversation in EC about Druids.

Whatever, you can do what you want Diggles, but the evidence and the numbers support my claims and my arguments. That and Rangers have the added advantage of not relying on gear nearly as much as a Warrior or Monk.

Do believe you're mistaken bro.

Rangers, at least as far as I remember, didn't start out dpsing even Warriors until around Luclin, and even then it required the best gear available to them. The guild I was in had 1 raiding Ranger and we only brought him along for whatever that disc was they had that made them basically unkillable for 15 or so seconds to give our Warrior enough time to build up aggro.

I could be wrong, but this is what I remember raiding Classic/Kunark/Velious on Veeshan server.

Did some research and yeah, Rangers didn't even start popping up on the DPS charts until Endless Quiver+Trueshot, and as far as I know it was a *long* time before they ever even came close to Rogues, so in this version of the game, Rangers are still pretty much shit for DPS. Even in the utility department they don't have much going for them, and there are other classes that can do it much better than they can.
