Rangers

[Thedonn]

Every class is bad if not geared properly and not played properly. Considering how few people I have met that own more than one set of gear for different purposes I tend to take what people say with a grain of salt. My ranger back in the day was amazing, great DPS and never had problems getting a group but as previously stated, if he got a group where he was pure DPS, he would wear the appropriate armor/gear, and if needed for something otherwise, the DPS armor went back in the bank. Post Velious... he collected dust. Never forget that sony chased profit, not game balance.

Min / Max ppl are going to crap on rangers no matter what, but it is like anything in life... some people look for every last little advantage possible and some people are out to have fun. This does not mean it is a useless class, or that you are gonna hear "Raynja Down! LOLZ!1!!!?" constantly, it just means a few people are gonna try n crap on the class to make themselves feel more superior. Let those people min/max and say whatever they like.

Play your ranger and enjoy it knowing it will be fun as hell, and take the advice from the people in this thread to make sure you are not left out in the cold and you will have a great time, and if you really wanna know if Ranger is fun, ask Jainis if he likes his ranger. I'm pretty sure the answer will make you happy.
