Most times people are all too quick to blame the crappy exp they're getting on the hybrids. When in reality it's more than likely due to slow pulls or people AFKing.

If it wasn't for the XP penalty, Rangers wouldn't be too bad. The truth is that a Ranger is probably about equivalent to my iksar warrior in both dps and overall tanking ability (probably a bit more damage/second taken, but better aggro). But overall the problem Rangers have is the same one Druids have: their utility is just not useful in a group, with one exception: Rangers can absolutely rock as pullers in outdoor dungeons. There is a reason Druids and Rangers love KC.

P.S. Giegue, you are just wrong on bards vs Enchanters in XP groups. If the enchanter isn't charming, a bard and an enchanter are probably about equal: the enchanter will be more consistent with buffs and more able to handle 5+ pulls (I pulled 10 mobs in KC once with Prosephone as our enchanter, and we killed them all - bards just can't do that) while the bard can do more slowing and resist buffing and some health regen as well. If the enchanter is charming, they are really filling 3 slots: 1 CC, and 2 DPS, which makes them equivalent to about 3 bards.

Really? I have to admit I don't know a lot about bards, but how do they do that? Not saying you're wrong, just that I don't know.

From experience, I do know an Enchanter can lock down a virtually unlimited number of mobs.

Give me a decent healer and I can pretty much tank any groupable encounter currently in game.

Have said it before will say it again.
Playing a ranger is EQ at a higher level of difficulty.

The class doesn't suck, the people who don't know how to play it do [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Classically, its an AoE Mezz with a 1tick duration. Eventually it was changed on Live to a single target, 3 tick duration, matching the bard's other mez songs.

Since this server is Classic, its a 1tick AoE mez. Just really hard to land on higher level targets.
