Ranger or a Swashbuckler?

[Taeolen]

Hi, all!  I am new to the game and been having a tough time deciding on what class I want to play.  I am equally torn between a Ranger and a Swashbuckler.  The problem I am having is that both classes sound like a lot of fun to me, so I am having a hard time picking one. :p I played a Ranger in EQ1, but I know that they are totally different class in this game (well, at least I think so since I quit EQ1 shortly after SoL expansion came out). Comments/feedback on the Ranger is greatly appreciated as well as opinions compairing both classes.  Thanks! <div></div>

<P>Be a swashbuckler.  They are great!  And the group stealth has the most "utility" of any of the utilities.  <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />  </P> <P> </P> <P>Retribution - Befallen</P>

<DIV>Don't even think of makikng a Ranger unless your heart is really in it.  There seems to be many issues with the class right now.  Maybe they will get fixed, maybe not.  My main is a Ranger and and always will be, because I like the play style.  I do have alts though.</DIV>

I've always leaned towards the Ranger types in MMORPGs which is why I am wanting to try one here as well, but both classes sound like a lot of fun and fit my kind of play styles.  Hehe, tough decision.   Will probably wind up playing both in the end, but can't make up my mind on which one to start with first. <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> <div></div>
