Ranger here. Started my own groups or comandeered others in MM lvls 20-39. Got good with harmony/camo/bind sight/pathing and could take camps that people usually never touched when pond/GY/CE was taken. Never really had much of a problem LFG... Either that or pull out all stops and be social. People will usually dgaf penalty if you establish yourself as their bro. In my time in MM, I've had multiple people say I should charge for my pulling as a ranger.

Worst of it was a guy who already established himself as an asshole trying to take a camp solo that my group had for 5 hours while we wiped 4 minute earlier. We said he was welcome to join but replied "Naw man, rangers take my exp."

CoM is a bit worse, especially with all the 50+ soloing lvl 40 camps, and powerlevelers/shaman+monk duos taking the rest. But starting groups and chain pulling in EJ with track (Only 10% less ZEM than CoM!) is a pretty easy alternative. Same with asking people to just make retard groups until they find a real one with a no-hard-feelings clause on leaving can sometimes lead to a solid group. I remember some of the best EXP i've gotten was ranger, rogue, iks monk, iks monk, bard fear kiting on the bridge at CoM ent. Meanwhile the WORST group I'd been in was ranger(tank built), enchanter, cleric, rogue, rogue, rogue(Enchanter was chain mezzing the mobs its animation was attacking, cleric had a bad attitude and two of the rogues were on netflix duty most of the time. Other rogue and me were crying) A rag-tag, atypical group that knows how to play goes much further than a hyper efficient built team of retards.

Just gotta be creative. Break the meta.


That all being said, I have no idea what being a hybrid is like 50+.

They should just remove the penalty now.

You should learn how xp works in this game. It's on the wiki. Go read.

After avoiding grouping with various hybrids and expressing my distaste for them (well, I was a druid initially and it was really easy to get awesome xp without anyone else) I made a pally on blue recently.. after about 30ks worth of twinking a pally is quite a liveable class up to level 10 at least [You must be logged in to view images.

I would say my newly invested hybrid alt was in part Stinkum's fault.

I've got a Paladin who is 38 or so now, and mostly I've had no issues getting groups. From what I can tell hybrids are great leveling xp group tanks especially if you have an epic rogue in the group. That being said don't expect to be of much use for higher end content, minus taking death touches that is.

At the end of the day, good players are good players though. Corova's a useless touchpad(trackball?) using fuck no doubt, but, he sows people, gets secondary, takes charms / dts, handles officer shit. As hard as it is to admit, he pulls his own. He does melee for some reason though instead of spothealing the tank, but at least he's good for a LOH sometimes :P

confirmed only way to get a ranger to 60 is three boxing.

Halfway through 52 as a bard ... Would be 55 with a class/race with no xp penalty.

... and I take a portion of the xp the size of a level 55 in all groups I join. I suppose I could cheese my way to 60 kiting in BW but I'd prefer to play the game. At least I'm not a ranger and groups have a reason to invite me.

They just need to remove the xp penalty now given how long kunark has been out and how close velious allegedly is.
