Message: <blockquote data-quote="EarthsShadow" data-source="post: 542871" data-attributes="member: 3531">I have an opinion if I may write it...I like the Ranger for when I want to min/max and take ranger at level 1 for the track, two-weapon fighting, ambidexterity, favored enemy combo, then take two levels of fighter to get three more feats, since i would be third level, then take a level of barbarian for the evercool rage that totally pumps you up and the fast movement, then take rogue for the sneak attack and cool evasion, so even though I didn't stick with one class the whole time, this mixture of classes presents a combo the likes of which a straight fighter would get annihilated by.  I asked a friend to make a 8th level fighter and I made a ranger, ftr, ftr, brb, rog, rog, rog, monk combo class, and that fighter got shredded.  The reason it got shredded was because at first level I had five feats/abilities to his two because of the ranger, and this is because the ranger is frontloaded and needs to be changed.  It took him three levels to overcome what my character had at first level.Basically, all rangers are drizzt clones the way I see it, and because Drizzt is such a famous character that was always a ranger, they designed their ranger to fit the mold of Drizzt, hence the abilities the ranger gets at first level.  It's a broken class.  That's not to say we don't have fun with it because we do and its always nice to get three feats for free, so when I say its broken doesn't mean its horrible or bad to play.  It's totally fun, but it is totally broken and needs to be redesigned.</blockquote>
