Rangers and Ranged Weapons/Attacks

[Accipiter]

<DIV>Quick question:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Are Rangers the leading class for ranged weapon use in EQ2?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Are Bows a fully "capable" weapon or more of a utility type?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I played a Ranged in EQ1 and loved the variety of bows available but was always disappointed in their functionality...</DIV>

Yup, your bow is just as important as your melee weapons if not moreso.  The other scout classes get a few bow attacks, but nowhere near as many as we do.  I can actually outdamage a lot of other classes by merely imitating a sorcerer and letting arrows fly like spells while standing in one spot.  However its the mixed use of both ranged and melee attacks that makes a ranger great. And yes, this is probably what you wanted your ranger in EQ1 to be <span>:smileyhappy:</span> <div></div>
