Meh, any DPS that wants to fap so hard to their parser that they are aggro magnets and mana pits pretty much find their way to another group... don't open with Ice Comet, yaknow?

And as far as min/maxing goes, I don't do it. I think it dehumanizes players into a set of stats. If they want to play XYZ, I don't care, as long as they know their job an do it well. The game is about people, otherwise you run the risk of turning into another content locust, and find your game turning into an uphill treadmill.

well are you applying for said groups as dps or tank?

You get denied a group one or two times and you put down all of p99? that's silly. I can guarantee you'll run into similar things on EQC, as-well.

I wasn't putting down the entire server just those who simply seem to take this 10yr+ old game on a free server way to seriously. I mean to take a camp that for 2-3 ppl (specially when they can't clear the entire camp by themselves) when there are others not just myself lfg in zone getting passed over because they picked the wrong class really? That's my complaint everyone is here to play a game the have memories playing to get that feel again and just have a good time at it. That is why I joined up at least...[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The best piece of advice I can think of is to network as much as possible with people. If you're known for starting/leading groups then people will log on and look for you. In some cases you can get a steady group going. Find a healer and start something awesome...be there before the zone gets busy if you can.

I feel pity for rangers. It's the only class where it will start raining in the Karanas and they will start losing hit points. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
JK. Rangers are very difficult to play. They are paper tanks, and are better dropped in a DPS slot. I never care what class joins my groups provided they are the type we have an opening for. Needless to say, if I have a cleric and a druid, I am not going to invite another healer. It's just how things go.

Played a ranger main on live and I loved that character so much but I'll be damned if every other person in EQ didn't go out of their way to make my life as miserable as possible. It was tough going but in the end I got lightning swords so those people can sit and spin.

I got a lot of respect for anybody that mains a ranger on this server, but after all that time on Live I don't have the stomach for it anymore. They're always welcome in my groups though. All five of them.

good call on the ranger

It's not so bad after 39. If you've got an enchanter for clarity/CC, rangers can tank single targets and CH's aren't too draining if everything is mezzed.

Quite conditional though - good enchanter, good group dps generally, and all damage going to the ranger [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
