What makes Rangers worse tanks than Shadow Knights or Paladins?

Lmmfao at your elitist attitude over a friggin game.
Yes; my example was what every bard BUT YOU did... what a tool.
Where were you when we needed that extra squad in Tiger Beach?

LOL, whatever dude; there's no way to talk to some people because they will never be wrong. More importantly tho; why waste all this time with such skill when you all could be doing something much more fulfilling like curing cancer, saving lives, building better infrastructure, etc...?

Oh; I get it, this set of awesome skills only goes so far... in Everquest only.

Google up 1 trick pony while you're researching today.

I stand corrected. I thought you just didn't understand our points before reading these two little posts you made.

Anyone who doesn't agree with you is a EQ nerd living in his mommy's basement not doing anything with their life playing an elf simulator? Good one.

Here's another one: you're immature and don't know how to discuss something with someone who disagrees with you without being a prick.

google skill definitions:

the ability to do something well; expertise.

a particular ability.

and wikipedia:

A skill is the learned ability to carry out a task with pre-determined results often within a given amount of time, energy, or both

from websters:

the ability to do something that comes from training, experience, or practice

the ability to use one's knowledge effectively and readily in execution or performance

dexterity or coordination especially in the execution of learned physical tasks

a learned power of doing something competently : a developed aptitude or ability

By virtually every defition of skill, playing a game like EQ requires skill.

Of course there is skill involved in playing EQ, but if you think the amount of skill required to play EQ is comparable to playing sports like basketball or volleyball, you are fucking insane. In fact when I originally wrote that sentence I was using the word 'elite', and then I realized it just didn't apply to EQ.

Pretty much every single person posting here has agreed with you, many of them in several different posts. Who is this directed at?

"there's no way to talk to some people because they will never be wrong."

I mean, in this case, we're objectively correct. By every single actual definition of the word skill, this meets the qualifications.

"More importantly tho; why waste all this time with such skill when you all could be doing something much more fulfilling like curing cancer, saving lives, building better infrastructure, etc"

We all play the game because we enjoy it. Saying "why do you play everquest when you could be curing cancer" is probably one of the dumbest things i've ever heard on these forums. Why do *you* play this game(or post on the forums, for that matter), when *you* could be doing something much more fulfilling?

As for one trick pony?

Websters says its "one that is skilled in only one area".

Saying a skill you have is only applicable to one area is not the same as saying someone is only skilled in one area.

I have plenty of strong skills outside of video games, so by definition i'm most certainly not a one trick pony.

You took this very personal at some point. You need to relax.

[Whirled]

Wrong again, but the know it all & holier than thou behavior that you exhibit is truly remarkable - is it part of the skill set for EQ or just you?
You must be a great hit at parties...not*

I never said anyone lived in anyones basement but if that's where you're at... so be it my dungeon dwelling friend... make sure you're nice to mom cuz you only get one =P

Oh, I understand plenty d00d; especially when it's a know it all bastard trying to make himself sound important about a decade & a half old game & calling it skill greater than all, lol

Whirled, you should read this.

At this point, if i were playing logical fallacy bingo with your posts, i'd have won about 6 times over.

It's rather fun watching someone totally self destruct when they can't handle the fact that the entire world doesn't think exactly like themselves.

I was curious about something back around page 4 i think. It was mentioned rangers become quite a bit more powerful with the 2 hand update. I'm just wondering how rangers parse compared to monks and rogues, say before and after this update? I know rangers arn't going to beat them or likely equal them but how close do they actually get?
