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.

Heheh all u rangers saying u can out dps rogues is laughable

I know im only a 42 rogue atm but ive grouped with quite a few rangers...

And i have to say most of them couldnt keep up with me for jack...

My min backstab is 130 usually unless the mob cons high yellow red then its usually 90ish and max is 320ish... and although rangers hit slightly harder with regualr attacks my bs sends me way ahead still ( my max sneak attack crit is 612 at lvl 40 eat that)

also with throwing i get a mage to summon some of these shurikens cant remember the exact name but they hit about 15 dmg normal and 30 with a crit and 60 ish with a deadly strike and with throwing i crit like crazy like 10 times per mob usually which if u took time to add everythin up find rogues prolly at least equaled or did greater dmg at that lvl...(when im at 59 and grouped with a ranja with the archery AA's hell rape me in dps terms with range tho)

+when rogues get a ton po mystikal pouch they can deadly for 1.6k ive heard...

But in all fairness they can take a bit more of a beating and get some funky self buffs aswell as other buffs that boost my attck rating and help me stay alive that lil bit longer...i do love grouping with them as theyve saved my *** many times and snare + intimidate can make fast work of quite a few mobs =))and while they dont dish out as much dmg they still do quite alot and are a welcome addition to any group im in =))

I had a warrior that was uber for his level and had a hard time finding groups. So I started a ranger who is now currently 57 and can solo and hold his own against most dark blues and in a group is used for his snaring and rooting. Though there are several ways to play a Ranger, I find it easier to fear kite animals, and root and dot others. And for 50 level ranger start looking at the bazu armor very nice..and do some of the the ranger quest..the spells help and so do some of the items. And for those with the new expansions, there is alot of nice Ranger gear and augs out there. Also at level 56 you get a regen spell...and at 57 you get better heal spell helping to make soloing easier.

I hit for 32000 with my bow, not offten, mostley in 2/300s, Nice having endless quiver. I hit in the 100,300 range I can track a fle on an elephant *** 10 miles away.I can solo a lev 60/62 npc. root/snare, pop with arrows.So I don't think a ranger is useless.
