They have this capacity only if they have these specific items ...

Vast majority of people won't have these items. Outside of turbo twinks, no ranger will have them for the majority of the time spent leveling.

Depends on guild I guess. I got my haste cloak at lvl 46 on my first trip to sky no joke.

So an island 4 quest and a VSR 100% drop = turbo twink. Gotcha~

its really not that bad, heres one of my vindi's

/GU Derakor the Vindicator in 132s, 175k @1326dps --- A Drakkel Dire Wolf 20k @161dps --- Knapsack 16k @121dps --- Ripqozko 15k @118dps --- Idrinkk 13k @109dps --- Rikyr 12k @92dps --- Trazzle 12k @89dps --- Gatitos 11k @87dps --- Logaluger 11k @85dps --- Jenssen 10k @78dps --- Torstein 10k @75dps

to give perspective on raid dps with bfg and primal with trueshot

edit: im ripqozko

I'd never say no to a ranger in a pick up group because their tracking has brought me lots of loot.

raids like to bring 1 ranger to cast call of the predator and call of earth

track can be useful sometimes

other than that, everything else they do is done better by another class

Love when people talk without knowledge...

-On exp groups, i tank better than anyother class (best aggro management in the game).

-On big target raid mobs, my dps is top 3 with bfg; rest of raid mobs are trash.

-I can solo much better than anyother melees (slow, 90%self haste, dmg shield, root, snare, healing, fungi+chloro, ac buffs, etc)

The only problem with rangers is the cash, u must be rly well geared to make your job.

And track is uselfull always [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.].

-In groups bards will kill your aggro if they want it. Knights will match your aggro. Monks will take a lot less damage. Defensively you're blatantly inferior to warriors. A well geared warrior will hold aggro very well unless the group mates are idiots (and even then it's trivial unless the RNG dicks you over completely on procs).

-on raid targets? Trueshot (how long is that cool down?) and BFG and you still won't be the consistent rockstar you seem to think you are. Or perhaps your raid mates just suck at dpsing.

-Solo? Bards using full toolkit will beat you hands down. A comparably geared monk will likely beyond toe to toe ya. A well geared ranger will do just fine but don't kid yourself muchacho

Rangers are just fine and fun to play but you appear to be quite delusional. You're a paper half-tank with good aggro. You're an OK dps toon. You can pull. You can track. You have utility. The whole package is quite potent.

But what aren't you?

The bestestest group tank, supreme raid dps-machine and penultimate melee soloer rolled into one.

Sorry, you're just not.

Rangers are a great class but you seem to be out of touch with elf-sim reality.

That's literally the 3 things a ranger needs* to solo to 60. Don't act like they aren't something every ranger is actively working towards.
