Rangers nowadays?

[Raved]

How are rangers nowadays? My brother and I want to make a duo and I want to play a ranger. A lot of stuff I see on the forums say the ranger can’t tank, terrible dps, all that jazz. What are your opinions and what would be good possible duos?

A ranger and a cleric to rez them

Yeah, rangers are pretty unimpressive. If you want to play melee, I recommend monk + shaman or warrior + shaman.

Enchanter + priest class is quite strong--particularly enchanter + cleric. It requires charming if you're up for it

the higher you get, the worse off you will be on a ranger. Your tanking ability, dps, etc, all starts sucking the closer you get to 50. Basically become a 3rd rate rogue/monk for damage and a 4th rate warrior for tanking.

Thanks for the reply guys. We are probably going to go with Bard and Wizard

So you turned down one of P99's least popular classes (Ranger) in favor of one of the more popular classes (Bard) and ... the only class that's even close to as unpopular as Ranger?

I mean don't get me wrong, I think all classes have advantages and the unpopular ones get too little credit. I just think it's funny that you turned-down Ranger to play Wizard.

Are you planning on swarm kite the bard on top of the wizard's PBAoEs?

I'm not playing the wizard, my brother is. I was going to play a ranger but after hearing the cons of them i decided not to. I checked out the duo chart and it shows wizard is a good combo with a bard, so that's why he's playing the wizard. He doesnt care what class he's playing.

Yeah we will probably end up doing that.

Ranger can solo to 60. They get free loot on raids. Nothing wrong with them.
