Why do you raid?

I've read that melee is top tier dps now, what changed that pushed melee above casters?

Very long fights. Wizards run out of mana, rogues never run out of pokey.

You raid so your force gets geared up so you can raid bigger targets.
You raid so you can raid so you can raid.
This was more true on live where you had to raid to be able to raid the better raid Before they release the next raid.
I try not to Think about it too much or I might go mad [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Where do SK's come into play with this? Have they become more useful with the new content?

Also have rangers become better?

Not really. Still useful as trash tanks but that's about as good as it gets. Warriors get all the glory in Velious imo.

SKs can tank some trash, rip mobs out of packs, things like that, which isn't any different from Kunark really. Warriors do all the real tanking due to discs.

Rangers at 60 with trueshot disc and a BFG can outparse a rogue as long as the fight is relatively short. That disc is unfair, and the BFG plays off the disc being that it's a weird archery/melee weapon. Weaponshield is also incredibly useful for things like tank switches and mob positioning. Rangers gained a lot of value.
