I agree and understsand most of this but what or how
does a ranger aggro control?
Mine is 18 and I find it a little tough getting exp
right now. High Pass Hold is always too busy. I am
trying Sk with the KFC birds but as you said, I need a
good tank and healer since anything higher than a
Darkter wastes me.
Thanks
