Ok, I think you missunderstood me a bit. I wasn't really complaining. I was merely saying people are very contradicting in what they are telling the noobs on this server.
And I love the Ranger, always played a Ranger in EQ (and other games for that matter). And I know what they are capable of. I am not in the higher tiers yet, so I can't be sure what they are like compared to the other classes. That said, in my trio I am gearing up my warrior primarily as that is the way to go people have told me

But when he's at a satisfied level and can help my other 2 more easily, my Ranger is the main focus. And I dont f***ing care if he's a gimp in other ppl's eyes.
Edit: Not saying that they ARE! As I don't know yet!
