Animals, just like a Druid does. Bow Kiting now and Fear kiting when Velious comes out.

Now, in Kunark, as a Ranger, you need to root or snare kite a mob down to like 60% with arrows then engage them Melee, snare and they turn at like 18%. So you only really get hit like 40% of the mobs health.

In Velious you just snare, fear animal, and Melee or shoot them in the ass with arrows when they run. Or Snare kite normal mobs like above in Kunark.

Either way it is a SLOW process and takes a lot of time and a shitpot full of arrows lol. On live or EQmac you get the AA Endless Quiver so you pretty much never run out of arrows and you only need one killer damage arrow. But here you can get the Tolan's Bracer but arrows suck damage wise. But a giant help non the less.

A Ranger is a pretty cool class solo. With Harmony easy to pull mobs outdoors. They just don't work out well in groups sad to say.

Yeah, that's not what I consider effective.

Love being a Ranger, but "solo class" isn't one of the phrases I'd used to describe them.
