I am a level 41 Ranger. I have played many other classes, some over 20, but not
many. The paladin and ranger classes cannot be compared unless our spells are
left out. When dueling, paladins have a small advantage. When melee'ing
creatures, Rangers can come into the lead, dmg-wise. I believe that Rangers
cannot truly see how powerful they will be until level 30, when a glimpse can be
caught, then at 39 when we get our true spells that we needed at level 30. I
think that from level 20 to 30 is when most people will quit EQ or their
character because they think another class is more attractive, and it may be..
it depends upon the person to truly master the character. I can kill a level 50
Wizard in a duel. If he got one Ice Comet off and a couple hits with his stick,
I would be in the most trouble. We cannot be compared. All classes must work
together for a greater good. I don't want to compare my 41 Ranger to a 41
Paladin. I have great fun fighting with friends and helping them out with
things. Don't complain about armor, weapons, spells, etc, because we are not
supposed to be gods at level 20, or 25, or 30, and we aren't supposed to be gods
at 50, or 75. In a group, anything can be done. No class can stand by itself.
It has been tried, and everyone who has tried failed, unless in some occasion
where 25 lvl 50 wizards got off ice comet at the same time at Vox or some other
beast.
Rock on with a character if you like that character, and dont ever delete your
character if you want to start a new one, because you will regret it.
If you play on the Bertoxxulous server, you may know me and the Guardians of
Tunare, and if you want to see the power that a ranger or any other class for
that matter has, give me a tell. I have friends, and we will gladly help you
see why you must stick with your character to the end, whenever that may be,
after 500+ hours of playtime.
