ive picked a ranger because i liked the hunter in wow, what i want to know is that since there is no minimum range on bows in this game is it worth keeping a melee weapon to hand for up close? pulling with the bow then batterin em? and if so what do people recommend, 2 hand or 1hand and shield?

wouldnt mind adding either a warrior or elementalist as a secondary, is it worth it? srry just one more thing, this is probably the noobiest question you'll hear for a while but in wow you right clicked a persons character portrait to whisper them, in gw is there a way to whisper without having to type in names first?

As far as I know, only if they're in the chat window already (after speaking), in the search window or in your friends list. I consider it a serious flaw.

Between the two, Warrior is the better choice, imo.No, you have to type the name in. -_- coleranger

Quickshot/Needler will out-DPS anyone (for a single target of course) if they have a sundering hornbow
As for the question, if you are setup for melee then its good to pull with a bow and then switch to the melee once they come at you, but if you are setup for a bow then always keep the bow. If you are setup for both, then you may want to rethink some things, not the effective to mix

I have played ranger for 1 year and thats all i ever play. If u want to be effective with a bow u cant use a shield and one handed weapon, even as a warrior second. To hit the requirements for bow shields and axe or sword you wouldnt have any points left for expertise an thats what makes rangers so good. I keep a perf req9 tatooed scimitar on me to pull out at the end of a battle and finish them off. This of course doesnt do much unless im using my ritualist splinter weapon build. But its all i need to quench my melee urges.

Not true. Bows have a base DPS much lower than melee, and while you get preparations, they just don't compare to what you can get with melee. Melee weapon with a speed boost, a strong conjure elements and attack skills on top and you can churn out stupidly high DPS on a target. Yeah, bows can do ok, but the damage rate for melee weapons is higher as a base, is generally faster attacking (thus getting more benefit from bonuses like a conjure) and you can be spamming damage bonus skills on top of that (while the quickshot/needler only gets base damage plus the bonuses). Take a Moebius/Death Blossom and add a conjure elements to it and you're already getting super DPS. I get that people like their rangers, but they're just not DPS kings. ctbear
