Yeah basically rangers got the double bow damage bonus in Kunark as well as the melee increases that every other melee class gets at 51+ (change in dmg bonus on weapons). Oh, and Jolt (JOLTJOLTJOLTJOLTJOLT). Discs for rangers don't happen till Velious, Panic Animal isn't till Velious.

Making fun of rangers is pretty much the most important part of the classic experience

Which is ironic because, if I recall correctly, geared-up level 50 rangers in classic were actually badass... the problems with our damage mitigation really didn't surface until post-50 in Kunark where shit hit a lot harder and the DPS gap widened substantially for the melee classes.

Jolt disc? There's a jolt spell, and we get it in Kunark, just not at release. We get Cinder Jolt in Velious.

Good thing we have Tracking so you could hunt down and find that missing period!

I'm thinking I'll probably just re-roll monk/rogue or quit again. Using backpacks full of arrows slowly kiting stuff in OT then running to FV and back (using SoW pots!) to make more arrows every hour is not worth doing. Perhaps if I were 45 and had a Tolan's bracer I'd feel differently. QQ

Come on out to CoM some night this week, or even look for any of our guild that are grouping. We're already lvling as Iksar, some as Sk's, we're used to life with a massive xp penalty [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Any penalty you add to a group like this will barely be felt lol.

Personally, I like to group with people, not classes. If you're fun and not a dickwad, you get an invite if at all possible. Regardless of class. I play to have fun with good people, the rest is gravy [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Cool I might do that. I've been reluctant to run to any of the Kunark dungeons since I don't know if I can solo in them while I sit LFG [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

At least in OT I can slowly kite stuff using bags and bags of arrows!

Question for rangers - Do you buy tank gear for the times you need to tank in groups? For the most part I'm geared toward DPS which makes me look even more weak when I'm asked to tank. I'm saving up cash and could potentially buy a pair of Jade Maces or Lamentations in the next week or so OR I could buy tank gear, but not both.

Neither of those items are easy to acquire so I assume that was said with a bit of facetiousness.

Oakwind was a GM event BoTB item and was supposedly considered by the winners to be game-breaking. I'm sure they used it but apparently there was expression of discontent with something so overly powerful.

Windstriker was added with the implementation of PoSky and requires a raid force to take out the 8th island boss.

In the event of ranger-soloing it is slow and tedious but we have a lot of tools at our disposal to make it mana free, so it's endless except when you finally feel your eyes fall out of your skull.
