I also found the ranger the least interesting of the bunch, even though it's one of the fan favorites because its encounter and daily powers were too specialized for my taste  and it overall lacked any control or 'wow' moments, except for the 'Whee, I killed two mooks off the bat' with the daily. Yet... it is one of the most popular among fans, so clearly there is a subset of player who is happy with a ranged character who does careful attack over and over again from a safe vantage point. Perhaps because that's 'normal' for 3e, whereas the wizard feels more restricted? I don't know.</blockquote>
