The spells drop in a progression. They get better as you climb the ladder ... something to look forward to. This applies to all classes. The idea that a ranger should give up a rune to another class is bunk. The DS spell for 70 rocks. I had a cleric proclaim: the tank should get the ac 25 augment. Nutz. Oh really? A well rounded list of spells and gear can make a ranger real tough -- so bleh to you take a back seat ranger. A melee class that can deal range damage, root, reliable snare, and a bit of healing... It is well worth having a few spells in our slot to cast. Archersena 70 ranger

We really cant complain about this spell. Its not linked with the rest and a .5 cast time makes it another spell we can chain cast.
ancient north wind, frost wind, ancient burning chaos, hearth embers, brushfire and displace summoned can all be chained without little effect on our melee. Too bad a mob would eat us by the time we got through half of them.

Well after SoE changed eq from day one we cant really go around saying were supposed to be much of any thing. If we get a nuke we get a nuke if we get more melee aa than bow aa so be it, Just find a way to make the best use of what is given to your class and you wont suck. End of story imo =)
If we compare this to the level 68 Frost Wind, we can see that this spell does an extra 76 damage, but costs 22 more mana.
The rune needed to get this spell only drops from some of the hardest raid mobs in the game. For clerics it can mean a better heal, for shammies a better canni, chanters a chant spell up to level 70, and so on.
Seems to me then that this runes really should go to other classes above rangers. And as these mobs really won't get easy any time soon, I can see it being a spell I never get. Though if those classes can use the rune to better protect my butt, then i still ain't complaining :)

All i can say is, its about time that Rangers got a 1k nuke, even if its at lvl 70, go look at the wizards lvl 70 nuke..its around 4.5k, so its still in par with everything imo.

Be sure to keep in mind the title of this spell...
*ANCIENT* Solstice Embers.
As most are aware, the scrolls for the Ancient spells are normally a grand pain to come across. My suggestion would be to be prepared to live without it, and leave an open spot for it in your spellbook. Most never get to see any of their classes' Ancient spells scribed in their spellbook, so no need to start getting elated over it. On the other hand, our level 68 nuke, Frost Wind is fairly close as it stands. Who knows, though...maybe the Ancient spells from the Omens of War expansion will be easier to get to. /shrug
In regards to Azzkickrr's comment that we Rangers want to resemble Wizards.../cough Recast Timer is *30* (that's *THIRTY*) full seconds. You can complain when our recast time is bumped down to about ten seconds, and we start wearing *good* robes (Note the good...there are All/All equippable robes, but they are far from anything decent). Also, Wizards easily outdamage us *per cast*, so there's no issue here of what we're supposedly trying to be...we are Rangers. No more, no less.

OH MY GOD WHAT ARE YOU WIZZY
Look at the recast time.
oh poo, you cant chain cast this? Ranger nukes are made like that to complement your DPS by casting in between bowfire or swings. Go look at the spell:Velium Strike if you want to see a bad nuke. A hybrid having a nuke over 1k is awesome.
