You can see hybrids as a exp robbing less efficient version of the pure class(s), or you can see them as a highly versatile class offering a skilled player a chance to shine. A pure melee is just as good as it's equipment. With a hybrid that's just where the game starts. They have more than 3 buttons to mash. [You must be logged in to view images.

Imo give halfling bonus to humans as should have been done in classic to start, take hybrid penalty away, give druids, shaman, necros, mages and wizards 40% penalty and.. maybe give rangers slight exp bonus, like rogues.
EDIT: Bards should keep 40% penalty, and maybe add enchanter to penalty list. | ||

Just a quick list of why I played Ranger.
1) Tracking spoils you when pulling, now on a Monk I miss it so much. 2) Spells that break up the press one button over and over until it's dead. (Which is why I don't play rogue) 3) Spirit of Wolf all the time w/o the hassle of jboots. 4) Snare can save lives in a group w/o casters to root or when it fails. 5) Clutch heals that just barely save that tank when the main heal went oom. | ||

i didnt care about the exp penalty to find groups as a ranger cause i STARTED them and everyone was happy to be in that groups i made since i pulled/tanked nonstop in unrest, MM afterwards with harmony and finaly root/park pulled in solb
when you start to think about exp penalties or the pros and cons of a class, then you shouldnt have considered that class in the first place. play the class you feel like you want to play and dont come here to ask if a class is good or not cause this just indicates that you arent 100% comfortable to play it anyways.

From a WHY WOULD I WANT TO GROUP A RANGER perspective:
If you have a tank, cleric, crowd control, dps, dps, and you're a min-maxer, you add another dps or a shammy for slows/buffs. Chances are, a ranger won't add much to a full group. If you have a tank and cleric and you want to keep the group small, you add a bard or ranger for that third slot for the versatility. That being said, most high level rangers on P99 know the odds are stacked against them, and those who have lasted to level 51+ have something to prove, and are damn good players because we know we have had to earn that spot in every group we have ever been invited to. From a WHY WOULD I WANT TO PLAY A RANGER perspective: Although soloing is a bitch, you are fairly self-sufficient and it's a fun class to play because of the versatility. You aren't hitting the mob until someone lets you die like a warrior. You aren't medding/casting/afking like a caster. You're tanking, pulling, dragging corpses, asking for rezzes, crowd controlling, slowing (with Swarmcaller), ripping mobs off your AFK casters, buffing, etc, etc, what everyone else said, sometimes changing roles on a moment's notice. Equivalent to a bard, except with less carpal tunnel syndrome. The problem is, min-maxers don't care you being able to be jack-of-all-trades, master of none.
