This thread makes me want to roll a ranger so bad.

It all started here!

Also, at least you get to play right now! I have about two more weeks until I get to play arggg!

hard to believe bongs would even be able to have an alt, considering how much time he spends in that one corner of EC trying to fish an entire zone away from any water at all.

Play on Red.

Rangers and Paladins are great pvp classes.

Rangers are pretty gear dependant, but put out some nice dps and fantastic utility when well played. Your heals are adequate for keeping yourself and casters healthy in non-tanking situations and taking pressure off your healers. You have excellent tools for snap agro and ranger dots, of course, stack with your melee dps.

My ranger is 48, and with the clicky sky cloak and a CoF, I sit at permanent 86% haste whether solo or not. I average 35-40 dps in GWF (from a Lupine Dagger proc) with a Fayguard Parrying Dagger mainhand and a Crystalline Short Sword offhand. Considering an epic rogue or monk of my level is only doing 3-5 more dps, I would much rather play the ranger and have the utility to do almost anything I need.

What are some pieces of gear I should pick up to start out my ranger? I have a decent stock pile of platinum from my potion selling days.

Mithral selves/greeves? Tree weave? Mithral BP ( i hate non plate so id go with mithral)

Dwarven workboots? herobracer? Those +15 str gauntlets?

I would just go all STR for those deeps, but I am not as good at minmaxing as other peeps here, just like the idea of gearing up a ranger right now.

Shame cant wear a chestplate of the dark flame cus that looks cool mixed with mithral..

anything plate/str is what I would do [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] hammerhead helm.. oh man so fun to gear up a preplaner ranger! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Dex not worth it for leveling at all? Just focus straight on STR? And how expensive is a TS bow or a Rain Caller?
