rangers suck

[Lvla]

<DIV>ranger's compeltly suck. at ranged level 85 and level 21, using makeshift arrows, i get otu damaged by a level 15 tank, i struggle to kill blue cons, takes me 50 arrows or so. all my ranger bow specials are at aprentice two. i switch to daggers and do a lot more. whats the point in being a bow class if your bow is so useless?</DIV>

rangers are not a total bow class. they're designed the same as predators and rogues, only instead of stuns we drop back and use archery as a bonus. if you honestly hate the class don't play it, but to play a ranger right to have to adapt to any situation.

<DIV>At lvl 26 I can take a lvl 24 mob down to 70% health with my bow skills (only 3 of my 5)......... you just either have apiece of crap bow or your character is gimped....... cause we are not meant to use just our bow, our skills make us severly out dmg any other class with the bow.</DIV>

<DIV>No problem next time don't just run in here and fly off the handle, FYI my DPS at level 32 is around 85-100, one more thing that was not mentioned, is use poison, if your not using the absolute best poison for your skill, which would be skill level 100 poisons.  Then you killing yourself.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>In Zek, Orc Marauders : With poison, my personal favorite, Mortuary Sludge, I can easily solo and have green health and about 70% power left over when fight is through.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I open with Sniping shot, Wounding arrow while mob comes after me, kite backwards and land Triple shot and Flaming arrow, at that point, poison has proc'd 2-3 times and I've done roughly......700-800 points of damage, before the dumb orc has even sniffed my wood elf [Removed for Content] it's in the yellow.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Without out I can't survive the encounter, the stuff hits for 90 points of bonus damage 25% of my successfull hits, plus a 47 point per 6 second DOT.  Think about that, that's 1 in 4 hits will proc for 90 points of damage, and it costs 7sp and lasts 12 hours or 100 procs.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Learn your toon dude, come in here and ask questions, not flame the class, you'll find alot of Rangers in here are helpful, but we'll all chastize you for being a dweeb if you post nothing but "Ranger's Suck" in here.  Because frankly at level 21, you don't have a clue yet.  </DIV>

Or just stick with NPC bought 100 skill poison...it will be effective up to level 26-27 then mobs start resisting it alot more. At level 30 you can use the 150 skill NPC poisons which should last you to 36-37.</FONT></DIV>

No reason he needs to buy arrows again until ~lvl 40 unless they(SOE) decide to fix Tear and make it return Fulginates.

<DIV>Ranger total rock! It just takes some skill to pull off the class effectively. I'm lvl 32 at the moment. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>1/2 the time I can kill a solo mob that cons blue with my bow (using my skills) before it even reaches me. How great is that? </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>It's even easier when the mob is a caster because they give you more time to get your bow attacks off cuz they start casting thier spells right off the bat.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Peidan Longbow</DIV> <DIV>Ranger of Tunare</DIV>
