Ranger or Monk?

Too many people see rangers on a parse that someone posts for a 25-second raid kill and think their damage is shitty overall. They totally neglect to consider the lower damage of pure melee who aren't under the effects of a disc for the whole parse, rangers dealing damage with procs and spells, etc.

Rangers can dish out pretty respectable DPS, track better than anyone in the game, root park adds like a champ, single pull outdoors, DS, and snare runners. Flame lick is an extremely OP snap aggro spell, and even untwinked Rangers can tank group content pretty well if you have a slower.

The problem is the vast majority of players in-game want specialists: specialist tanks and specialist DPS classes. Not generalists with moderate DPS. Add to that the hybrid penalty stigma, and the fact that at any given time there's a million and a half Monks asking to fill a group's last DPS slot, and you have a shitload of permanently LFG Rangers.

Yeah and that is why EVERYONE on the server is just killing them selves to find a Ranger to join their group. You people are really drinking the Kool Aide. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

You're the one who's high on something. Rangers can cheaply get a weapon with a better damage than almost any war combo and toss out an additional 10 dps sustained with CoF. More with Calefaction 59+.

They certainly aren't using Warriors for DPS, that's for sure.

I often don't know what the hell web is talking about.

Web, you're right about the lack of desire for rangers in groups, but you are very wrong about ranger dps and a few other issues. As are, it seems, most people.
