I think rangers get way to much unwarranted hate. They bring a lot to a group, and yet everyone makes sure to avoid them.

Totally agree with you. Tracking mobs for group. Doing good dps (yes they do good dps no matter what anyone says). Even tanking in group at times when needed. Are they the highest dps no are they the best tank no. But they bring a lot of versatility to the group. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

oh and if no druid/shaman they also have SOW to give the group. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I just wanna choose one and be happy with it. Druids I choose for porting but I can't level her solo as I keep dying.

You want a challenge but are quitting a druid because you cannot solo with one? Here's where Scooby would say, "Ruh ro"

Oops let me clarify. I die because I don't pay attention. I don't pay attention because it's just root rot or kite. There's no real challenge. I'm also quitting a Druid because I thought of down the line and see how many Druids there already are and think, great another John smith.

I've literally fallen asleep at the keyboard playing a Druid.

Baalzy thank you for that post. That was most helpful. I will be using this to decide what class I will go with. Thank you all for the help!

You might not succeed as a tank then if you're falling alseep at the keyboard. If you're soloing shouldn't you be keeping busy enough to at least keep your eyes open? Groups are not going to like you passing out [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

On my ranger i have tanked and main healed groups around level 12-15. Not the best, but still managed to get some exp with no deaths in both groups.

The world changes at higher levels. HP on tanks will be significantly higher then yours as well as their AC. At the same time, mobs are hitting a lot harder. A ranger will be able to 'hold agro' but they'll take more damage and won't live long enough to receive Cheal (and wouldn't have enough hitpoints to make CHeal worthwhile most of the time). If mobs actually ran the way they did in classic (at higher %'s, so they'd run away at full speed and be a real danger of causing massive trains) then rangers would be desired to handle snares.

It's just that they don't bring enough to the table to take on the xp penalty in a party unless there truly is no other option.

They bring plenty to the table. Its close minded people that obsessed what they "think" is the "perfect group" that think they do not. They do good dps and they add value to the group. The xp penalty is not shared with the group its theirs alone. LOL Each group member gets a slice of xp and depending on their class/race they get more or less then others.

I fall asleep due to boredom. Root, DoT, DoT, DD, sit, reDoT sit, snare, melee at 13% if mana's ok. I've done it with Druids and shamans, which is why I crossed them off. Necro's follow the same path but they can fear kite and we can take on reds at 12+. Also I'd be a lowsy tank as I'm always piss poor to keep up gear. [You must be logged in to view images.
