Wizard or ranger

[Kruejin]

Im aware I will get a biased view here so I am posting in both the wizzy forums and ranger ones. In short I would like a ranged nuking class (the whole pewpewpew) but also a good soloer, my plan so far is to make a bruiser do some leveling get some money then fund my ranger or wizard. So my question is what would you suggest I roll (Both fill the bill very nicely I must say so I am not picky, but would like some opinions from more experienced players) and could I just start the game right off the bat as that class and do well with no money/resources?

You don’t really need to have mastercraft armor but you will find your self wanting it for its better stats and protection. Ammo no question there get crafted the merchant stuff Sucks and the ammo made my makeshift arrow is not much better.I hope my post helps, Im shure someone with more experiance than me can give you better details, This info is my personal opinion.
