- Halflings and Gnomes have new classes available to them: Halfling
Rangers and Paladins as well as Gnome ShadowKnights and Paladins. All
of the necessary NPCs and items should be available for these new
classes.


Maybe after velious this could be one of the custom changes the dev's make. /hint /hint [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

There are probably a couple halfling rangers running around blue :P

I really, really hope that they allow the new short team hybrids eventually...

Rangers are the best trackers. Rangers are often the best at pulling outdoors where they can harmony. Rangers are terrible at xp due to their penatly which is why everyone hates them since almost every group pre 60 is more concerned with xp than accomplishing a dungeon crawl or camping x mob for y loot. If yout not concerned with xp or at 60 your utility can make for an easier time taking a small duo or trio to camp specific mobs. On raids your basically just a warm body for dps with the occassional snare kite. The value of snare in dungeons also cant be understated.

Worthless? No. But there will be a better class to fill every role other than tracking and pulling outdoors.

Rangers are probably my favorite class in EQ but discrimination on them here makes it inevitable that you will "give up" and reroll.

I got my Ranger to level 40s before I quit. I remember sitting in Dreadlands for like 7 hours with LFG my tag on. In front of me stood three groups, each with openings/LFM. I was shouting LFG every once in a while for the entire time. All declined to invite me not because I'm a bad player or have a bad rep, but because nobody wants a Ranger.

It was that exact moment I camped out and rerolled.

Honestly made me sad. Should have made friends with a necro

p99 needs rangers. who else is going to sit there for hours at a time hitting the 'Track' button until mob X spawns, where then you can jump out of your seat and type " MOB X POP, MOB X POP!!!!!!" in your guild chat and frantically run to zerg a mob down...oh wait, druids can do that too and they can port -_-

Rangers are far from worthless. However besides track theres nothing else they do better then any other class.
