Monk vs Ranger vs Rogue on green

[Gustoo]

I played a ranger in kunark and no one cared or mentioned exp penalty. I was in amateur groups up to high 40s in dreadlands and no one ever complained that my dual lamentation and constant taunting meant that I was taking most of the hits.

Good times.

On rallos zek I played one too but did stealth solo leveling so as not to get jacked. On that server basically ogre shamans were hi threat because their 120 base strength meant they hit me more reliably hard when jousting and I hated how weak elf's were in banded vs fatties.

On green I'd just be whatever you like. Hybrids way nicer to live with than a warrior. You won't be pharming much but you can get around the world with much more ease

Rangers aren't bad in classic because they don't have the skill cap issues they get in Kunark.

They also have lots of fun quests and worst case they can bow kite to solo.

For melee dps:

Rog > War > Monk/Ranger > Pal/SK

Monks consistently parse below warriors and at ranger levels of dps on raids.

Do people seriously make class choices based on how good classes are in the first few levels?

When it’s hard to find a group and you can’t solo for crap, yes.

Gotta be able to complete the early levels before you can complete the later levels.

CB Belts got me through 7-10. Loving Backstab! And groups seem to want me.

As for Bards, started one. That 40% xp penalty is so damn harsh.

Just roll a wizard, more raid DPS than a warrior + ranger + rogue combined in classic, can easily solo 29-50, and can port for ease of travel and a nice plat hustle.

There will be people who won't invite a class/race on odd logic. Law of averages...just keep the faith, you will find some cool people eventually.

Even on classic rogues do nice dps. That said, rogues that can't control aggro and brag about BS numbers put them to the back of the list for me. If I'm grinding for HOURS I don't need to affirm a show-boater of his/her worth doing literally the only thing they were invited to do.

I think monks are far superior tanks to rangers but that's just me maybe.. I think I tank on blue on my human monk literally over tanks at times because I'm easier to manage lol.....
