Best tracking class?

[Elements]

Wiki mobs spawn loc. Sit on it and kill phs. 99% of the time track is not required.

Any class can do this.

anyone playing right now want to excite those of us at work about the potential track change reverse?

did druids simply get their range back or did ALL the changes get removed IE no more limited to 20 targets

I don't think range was changed, but the 20 target limit was definitely removed.

Druids are still capped at 50. But I guess the total you can track has been lifted. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Ranger with the Bard and Druid tracking nerf.

Ranger will always be the best at trackin. What else the class can do?

Rangers? What else can they do?

Peel from casters with snap aggro.
Root park for emergency CC.
Offtank adds until CC'd.
Spam heal necroes and shamans for mana conversion.
Pull outdoors extremely well.
Provide DPS.
(velious) Weaponshield raid targets until slow lands
eat DT's ( halflings preferred )
FORAGE LIKE A BAWSS

Sorry they aren't cool enough for ya.

You forgot to add they can run around backwards with a snared light blue mob shooting 283 arrows at it killing it in a matter of, ohh say, 22 minutes. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Uber XP. Well sort of.

Range of tracking is determined by skill and Rangers have the highest caps. Rangers also start with tracking at level 1 and skill goes up from there where druids and bards don't get it till later (20 for druids and 30 or 35 for bards, if I recall correctly). Theoretically they should have the highest range available for a given level, but not entirely sure here because it's been mucked with a bit....Tracking changed live before the Titanium client but after classic and I'm sure that's what's giving them a hard time getting it tweaked for classic here. I have both a ranger and druid and will check it out next time I'm on and have some time to mess around. I just know that after the last patch before the one this week my druid's tracking was completely borked compared to what it was (you could literally see mobs before they showed up on track) and the ranger's wasn't much better until his skill exceeded the levels of the druid's, but I just rolled him this summer so have no idea what it was like before. Haven't been on since this new patch so can't say, now.

Rangers are also the only class that gets different sort modes beyond "normal." They can sort by distance, alphabetically, and by con, and in reverse order. Druids and Bards cannot.

Short version of the above...Tracking has been all over the place here but the best tracker, regardless, is Ranger. As others have said, a team of trackers works best in a practical sense because they can port and cover a zone faster.
