[Snaggles]

My first char was a ranger as well. It’s a fairly hard class to solo without decent gear. Luckily a lot of good stuff is dirt cheap these days (silver swiftblade is basically free). I soloed to 60 without a fungi, woodsman staff to 58. I invested in a token bracer which really helped once I was done snare/fearing animals to 49. Grobb and HK bow-rooting stuff dead.

I’d keep the faith or if you are concerned make a necro as your first class to like 40 (or will go fairly quick). Then dump the savings into the ranger.

Rangers get hate here because they aren’t Luclin-good. Also a lot of tropes that are funny but totally accurate. With gear they do solid damage, they are extremely flexible and fun if you practice the skills. Getting groups is a chore compared to a rogue but the journey is worth it.
