I don't know about most of you but in my 8 month experience rangers are always last to be chosen, a last resort, a unwanted class. We are probably the best class, mele bosses stand no chance with our bolas, our light heal can make a difference in the win or lose. So why I ask, are we underappriciated, people don't know how lucky they are.

ranger is a gr8 class!! best class to my knowledge. i have upgraded my ranger first to lvl 125 and now lvling my druid.. tell u what ..a good clan can me a huge difference...my clan aides in boss fights quick!! we have the highest ranked ranger in all world and rangers are very appreciated

Ranger is combo of all classes...think about it...we have light heal (druid) dps with rapid shot love it(rogue) now spikes (mage) combine with our bolas---- we kick ass

btw..when we killed lava lord. this is before the update when it was a lot harder. our bolas was the key

find a clan who sees that

Harvey we are the non needed class because we don't tank and rogues have the best dps

i know what you are saying, but i find, now that i am in a great clan and higher level that the perception may be changing. There used to only be a couple of rangers, now they are everywhere.

We are not the heavy hitters or damage takers, but we can send a constant stream of damage at the boss from far away - so when the boss does 1000 dmg to everyone around, we are still alive and damaging while the others use the idol. Smarter groups know that we send a lot of hits in, so rogues in those group will put poison weapon on us - which adds up nicely over time with rapid fire.

I have also found that many bosses seem to hate bolas. I bola a boss and it will generally come after me - ignoring everyone else attacking it! Great on eye bosses. i just keep out of range, running in circles, and let the group keep damaging it (i am shooting at the same time of course, but mostly just keeping it occupied).

Doing a ranger well can take a lot concentration at times. But they are a lot of fun to play. And if they are under-appreciated - well, more yellow tabs for you then!

I agree with xyn.

I haven't been playing long, but many times higher level players are quick to ask me to help them take down a boss or difficult adversary primarily because of bolas (and the aforementioned boss hate of bolas). I spend almost all my energy in those fights using bolas and running around keeping the monster occupied.

And soloing with bolas works great, too! It's fun running around them in circles... just hae to be careful to not run away too far from the point of first contact (or it will reset )

All in all, I am glad I chose a to psuedo-role play with a Ranger character first.

My case is the opposite. I'm not asked to bolas even though there are very few rangers.
