Debating making a Ranger

[Tenlaar]

Honestly, it sounds like a SK might fit your play style a little better. From 15 on you can fear kite when you can't dedicate yourself enough for a group, and from 30 on you can FD whenever you need to step away and handle something without fear of random agro, not to mention saving you when things go bad so that you have less CRs eating up your playtime.

That doesnt sound like a bad idea, especially when you need to step away. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Or even a monk? Higher DPS and more desirable in groups than an SK generally, also with good solo ability and the ability to feign.

you can twink a monk better with 4k than an sk.

here's a good start. (not all slots listed cause i couldnt be bothered)
about 2k worth gve or take

wu's quivering staff 150-200
2x 5ac/55hp rings 500
sarnak-hide mask 100-150
Foreman's Tunic 150
Azure Sleeves 50-100
Sapphire Electrum Earring 160-200
Griffon Talon Gloves 60
Executioner's Hood 400
Gatorscale Leggings (campable on your mage and great xp for them)
Sapphire Platinum Necklace 350

1. After selling gear and such from my chanter I should have close to 4-5k to spend gearing up a Ranger, will that be sufficient to be self-sustaining should I need it? I tend to solo a lot because I am usually quite busy and rarely have time to sit in a group.

2. How good is bow-kiting? Will it be torture with how slow the exp will come or is it actually pretty decent?

3. What is your favorite part about the ranger class?

4. Goes along with question 1, but any gear suggestions?

1. be sure you can afford woodsman's staff at 20 (once the dmg cap goes away). You will be using that shit for quite a while and since you're gung-ho about soloing, you want ass-beating capabilities

3. They take death touches. Also the beautiful green armor
