Least Played Class

[Droop]

Bards are medium I'd say, an ok amount but never enough rlly. Bards pwn!

I was hoping ENC would be rather rare...but apparently not lol, I guess it does make sense though o_O

Well I just started playing this today, and I was planning to make a farming class, but after being reminded how slow the leveling is and after reading this thread, I was inspired to just make the class I wanted to make: a ranger. Everyone go ahead and make ranger jokes etc etc. Also if any new players are in the GFay area tonight I will be grinding out level 4 >.> Feel free to stop by and group with me, twink me, or just give me some nice buffs [You must be logged in to view images.

I don't really see a lot of ranger hate in game, the closest being when the rest of my group turns down an LFG ranger because I'm an SK and some people understandably like to limit themselves to one horrible hybrid penalty per group [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

For the most part the rangers I group with here can carry their weight just fine, although some of them seriously need to ditch those Ebony Bladed Swords, ffs

Newp. Scales up to 60-pt DD proc at lvl 50, no aggro (just instruct your tank to be the closest to the mob at all times.) Even helps warriors retain aggro. It's like EQ on EZ mode.

There's also plenty of situations where it completely fucks up everything. A ranger who has a pair of EBS and a pair of other weapons is a good ranger. A ranger who only ever uses a pair of EBS and doesn't carry any other weapons is a moron.

Yeah I love being in a group that only has root for CC and being unnecessarily beat on by two or more mobs because the ranger unintentionally rooted the current target right to where someone else rooted an add. Or not being able to reposition a mob or otherwise extract myself from its pelvis without someone's pet or rogue getting beaten on. It's like EQ on EZ mode. [You must be logged in to view images.

Some might appreciate the "help", I just think they're a pain in the ass in many situations.

True story, I was in Upper Guk with my War, I put on LFG tag and I get the group right away, but I have to wait 10 minutes ( I was replacement, monk was tanking ).

One Ranger around my lvl was LFG, so we chatted a bit because he was decked out. I didn't inspect him but when I saw 2 yaks, there wasn't anything else to inspect.

He told me he had been killing spiders for the past 2 hours and no spot for him. Other classes that came after, already got group.

I felt so bad for the guy, and he logged out right in front of me when I have to bounce to join my group.

:****(

on Bards: yeah they're rareish here but tbh I never saw too many on Live so it seems about right.

I apologize for your experience with lousy rangers, but there's quite a few here that can play their class and adapt as needed to the group's needs.

With or without your arch-nemesis, the EBS.

Yeah I know/mentioned this. Thanks!

Maybe you're reading too much into it because you've seen too much of the ranger bashing and impotent fagrage that pours out of so many of our fellow forumgoers. I'm actually not trash talking the EBS or rangers in general. I'm aware of the sword's situational utility. If you take it personally that others are not then I dunno what to tell you :[
