Leveling on a ranger is incredibly easy contrary to popular belief. People think they are unbearable but 40+ there is a very easy solution and here it is.

Make a ton of arrows.

Contact one of the many rogues/monks/warriors on this server who are not yet 60.

Mem snare, and flame lick.

Aggro kite random dark blue cons out doors while your melee friend loves the shit out of you for letting him dps something without having to worry about dying.

Profit

you probably just blew that guys mind. probably didnt think there was any way of leveling outside auto attack and heal.

The fact is that a Ranger's defensive skills cap like 80 points lower than a Warrior, Pally or SK.

But you're level 24 and pretending to be Legolas while bow kiting a Dune Tarantula for 20 minutes per kill so I will defer to your expertise.

yet it works. learn to play better.

I will definitely take tips on how to play EQ from a guy who thinks Rangers have equal utility as Bards.

Guy clearly never played classic. Don't let the lack of rangers on this server fool you. The use of bards in classic live era and on this box are many. Just because a bard has a more varied range of utility doesn't mean they have more utility.

Their track is garbage and their snare/mez mobs limits their ability to do anything else. Look at it this way, all bards are is utility.

They don't do damage, they can't heal, they can't tank. Rangers beat them in damage, healing, and ability to tank.

The only reason bards are more prevalent on this box is because of the necessity placed on having bard to do high end content (group songs are unfortunately necessary for a lot). Doesn't mean that rangers have less utility or are worse in any way.

ITT: Samwise screams "LEGOLAS STRIKES AT THEE!" while bow kiting a Orc Centurion for 23 minutes, then rushes to the forum to angrily lash out at how "sick" the utility of the Ranger class is.

[SamwiseRed]

legolas wasnt a ranger bro. point not valid.

also, learn to play better.

The little bit of coaching original Avon got from me improved his game immensely and he was already a very strong player.

He didn't have one complaint about his ranger and owned pretty solid.
