No, it's "why does my Ranger have a bow and arrow graphic on his inventory screen when I can't hit shit with a bow and why are there so few bows to choose from and why is that Rogue and Warrior and SK just as good at me with a bow?"

...and there's also "why is every other Ranger I've seen (whether it's in a movie, book or another game) an expert with bows and this one isn't?"

Then there's the fact that 'traveling far' is what an arrow does so range is relevant to bows.

Arrowgone dngas about bows mate.

Congrats on your cloak! That's a game changer. Glad you got lucky on 2x. I'd suggest not engaging with this guy. He is an obvious troll because rangers aren't manly at all.

You're looking at it from the perspective of a petty poopsock who's pretending to be a ranger in a 23 year old broken game. Maybe you want them to be broken so nobody plays them except you.

I'm looking at it from the point of view of a games design perspective. Rangers aren't Rangers on P99.

Rangers are supposed to be good with bows like Rogues are with daggers.

It's not rocket science.

Telling me they are good with bows at L60 with BIS is BS.

Good, go back to living a lie pretending you're wise, strong and heroic and take that pond life with you.

It should be illegal for pond life like you two to play and speak on behalf of rangers (or any race/class for that matter).

You two should be gasoline in my truck fuel tank, not giving opinions.

I guess I have to put up with the bad if I want the good, and u two seem happy to be bad so at some point we'll meet. I'll be the one waving hello/goodbye to you as you enter my fuel tank. You'll be the one carrying me to the beach.

• Velious brought much more bows that are great.
  
• SK's skill cap for Archery is only 75, and Rangers get the special Double Damage Bonus at 50 and Trueshot at 55.
  
• Many earlier renditions of Rangers in media did not actually focus on their skills with bows, but rather their skills with a blade or blades.

I'm sorry for being such a ******.

Et tu brute?

Well first of all, a Knight in full plate being just as good with a bow as a bow specialist is up to 75 skill is dumb.

Warriors and Rogues having the same skill level as a bow specialist is also dumb.

"Special" double attack bonus at 50? Why is double attack considered "special" when it comes to bows? Melee double attacks aren't special so why are you saying double attacks with bows are? Ranged attacks should get double attacks early on just like melee attacks do.

Trueshot: L55, 2 min every 72 min. How often can Rogue Backstab and from what level?

Compared to melee weapons, high level bows are rare, difficult to get and costly and the low level ones are very, very slow....and Warriors + Rogues have the sameskill level.

The EQ Ranger has a bow and arrow graphic and so do Tolkiens Rangers.

I'd prefer people think rangers are awful so it's easier to get gear.

That sums you up; no loyalty, no honor, just a braindead parasite with the IQ of a garden worm who wants something for nothing. Becoming a fossil fuel to run my 6.7 litre turbo diesel is your true purpose in life.

Follow your own advice by not responding to me. Go back to your pond, scum.

Plenty of warriors historically were archers. Eq lore is they are masters of all weapon types.

Class icon doesn’t mean main dps option either.

Are we really arguing warrior should dps through bash and paladins through headbutt?
