Please, everyone... don't discount Rangers anymore than any other class. I've been playing a Ranger since January Beta and I will always have him in my roster. Rangers are targeters, adding conditions to our prey and directing fire to the enemy. The Ranger has to know which targets are the most dangerous or at least be able to quickly assess that. A bad call could divide the party's attack and cause the group to meet a quick end. I've seen groups with no monk or warrior primaries breeze through missions... the trick is, finding a group where everyone knows thier role. If everyone does their part and cooperates, you should be able to make it through almost every mission with only minor attrition. Give it a try some time... just for laughs, cobble a group together from just anyone around and watch how the mission plays out... |
Now here's the kicker... My ranger is who I've gotten farthest with in the game. BUT, I still have rangers lowest on my list of people I want in a team. I have never met a ranger that turned the tide of battle, I have never met a ranger that truly worked me over in pvp. Even my ranger, with many builds tried, I still don't think she's a key player in any team (and I sometimes do feel bad about that, as if I'm not carrying my weight in a team).
I hate to discriminate here, but I find them more useless than a mesmer in PvE. BUT! There is another but... If you get a ranger trapping team. It's a whole different story. Rangers decimate in PvE in trapping teams. I love doing missions in trapping teams, and I love UW trapping teams. I love playing my ranger as a trapper. I carry a +16 energy staff just so I can lay even MORE traps.
Necros, no matter what class I play as, will always be a vital part of any team I'm on.
