This is what peak male performance looks like.

He doesn't look BiS. But yea, human 4tw. Sad tho to see all that mana, rangers combat spells suck.

Did you know that you can exchange 150 mana for 270 hp?

That is in reference to shield block, not the block we have here. This is data from live:

Yah I sadly didn't realize this until I already spent a boatload of plat on a SEoC MQ. Rangers still very fun though. I think rangers really shine in places like KC where you can snipe nameds from unattended camps.

It's a fun class, one of my favorites. Tanking is not it's forte tho no matter how you slice it. They can do fairly well dps wise with either top end 1h or cek sword which I prefer for A. Cheaper dkp B. Higher potential highs .

heh, greater heal really isn't a combat spell, nice try tho. for killin random greens? ok fine i'll give you that.

Did you know that you can cast a spell to make things not move? Bit of an advanced tactic, but you cast a "root" type spell and you move backwards and switch your target to yourself and cast that heal spell on yourself 1 - 3 times and then move back into melee. And after combat, you can use the heal spells on yourself to get ready for the next fight, too. *sucks in air through braces* Nice try, tho.

again, for killin random greens/trash mobs. gl breaking even on tranix while getting summoned, or any relevant mob for that matter.

And if you still aren't sure what actual combat healing spells are, let me help you out with that:

Hi I'm making fun of you for having the opinion that having mana gear on a ranger is wasted. That's an idiot thought. It's useful. Even if you don't use the mana on "combat spells" on the class that primarily has utility spells. You can use that mana on things that aren't Tranix, too, and that's surprisingly more common.

Thank you for clarifying your position that rangers don't have SK / Paladin spells.

[Crede]

If you're prioritizing mana on a ranger, that is an idiot thought. but go ahead keep recasting cotp to make it feel relevant.

Edit: Since you edited:

Thank you for literally describing what I said the mana can be used on.
