I realize I am new to the group and all, but I
feel I have to respond to this. While it is true that Rangers don't have
the hitpoints of Paladins, Shadowknights, and Warriors (even with the same
gear and stats). You have to keep in mind, that Rangers are not tanks
(well, at least not post 25ish), but are more in the line of a light
offensive class, with excellent agro control. It is true that they do
not have as high of an AC as a pure tank, Pally, or SK, due to the fact
that there is very little in the way of plate armor that they can
wear. As far as soloability, they are the most efficient melee based
class for soloing, even prior to getting panic animal at 22. I know
this is true, as other than from 12 to 15, and 21 to 25, I have just
about exclusively soloed mine (and very little of it has been on
animals). I've even grouped with a higher level Ogre warrior (i
was 40, he was 45), and peeled the mob off of him for a time, due to
the healer being lom, and held it til the ogre got healed. If The
Ranger in your group is dying a lot, then one (or more) of several things is
true: either the MT is not doing his job with damage and taunt, the
ranger is not doing efficient agro control, the healer is not keeping up
with the damage done, or the ranger has not focused as much on AC as
he/she should have.

Yeah they seem like they would be really good
in the high end game. I think they are kind of hard to play in groups though
as they don't have many hit points and die a lot.

Rangers aren't tough to play at all. While htey
are group dependant until
they get Panic Animal at 22, they are
excellent characters in teh high end
game. There aren't too many
classes that can do the damage they can AND
still be able to control
aggro as well they do. And they are the masters of
outdoor
pulling.

And well, any
class can fill any of these roles.
