LVL 42 Ranger returning to EQ2 after 2 years, what do I need to know?

[Audio]

Title says it all.  I'm now awaiting the Kunark patch it seems and I've been wondering what has changed in the last year and a half?I know it's now easier to level (which I think is lame), but what other major changes do I need to know about?Anything specific to the Ranger class?Thanks.

not sure about rangers, but if you weren't here for the archetype removal, that's new.  You start out as your subclass now.Tradeskilling is a ton easier.EoF ownsfrom what I've seen in RoK, it owns too.

<p>I forget whether you would have seen the AA system when you played, but it has been expanded as part of EoF to include both Predator and Ranger trees. Also, the monster mastery attacks have been redone so that there is a single attack that applies to all monster types for which you have completed the Lore & Legend quest.</p><p>My time sense is also a bit fuzzy these days, but you may have missed the combat revamp, in which case you will need to take a look at all your skills to see what has changed (but after 2 years, you were probably going to have to review them anyway).</p><p>You will want to look at the new Character advancement window to redo all your level choices as well ('L'<img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />.</p>
