Classes: The Ranger

Rangers - Master trackers. With the skills of both a fighter and a druid, plus some unique skills of their own, rangers can be very difficult to develop and have a number of different ways to be played.

What is the best way to play a ranger? Can a ranger be soloed, and if so how? How should you play a ranger within a group? What spells and skills are the most important for the ranger? How can you develop your ranger to be the most effective? What equipment and armor should your ranger be looking for?

Post your strategies on how to best play and develop the Ranger and read, rate and comment on what others have to say.

Hey all, This is my reply to my own post down a little further about soloing the hill giants. I was able to succesfully solo two hill giants in a row without having to stop and med. The way I did this was i would pull with snare to a safe place, root them, dot them, nuke with burning arrow, then careless lighting 3 times then, again with burning arrow, now the giant is just about at 3 bubs of health, i re-dot, and engage in battle (at full life, if not at full life i might heal up, or root the giant after hitting it around a bit to heal) usually i dont lose more than roughly 3 bubs of health, and thats only if they are hitting for max constantly (max being in the 90's is highest i've seen it). And the thing that i liked the most is how slow they hit, because i was able to get a root in any time i needed it incase of a sticky situation. I also had kei and boa, which brought my hp up to 2,500, and my wis up to 115. And my ac is 812 unbuffed, self buffed its 830 or something like that. Tell me what you think, and I hope that this has helped a lot of rangers who have had trouble with this before, or ones that are planning on checking out the hill giants. And one more thing, dont get mad if you cant find a pull (or at least on my server), cause there are lots of people there, but you'll get one eventually, I usually didnt have too much downtime inbetween kills, but sometimes it was a little wait. Ok, i need to stop rambling, good bye all, hope this has been helpful.
