[QUOTE="Michael Tree, post: 451595, member: 1455"] IMO Rangers are not so much weak as they are uninteresting. Aside from favored enemy (which is just a bonus to a few skills rather than a unique ability), they don't have a single ability that other classes don't get. All other classes have numerous unique cool abilities. In addition, there's really nothing to look forward to as you gain levels. They gain more skill points and the occasional new spell or favored enemy, but no new crunchy abilities. Advancing levels in the Ranger class is dull. They're also seriously frontloaded, and their two-weapon abilities make no sense. No other class is tied up to a weapon or fighting style (except monks, for whom unarmed fighting is [i]defining[/i].)
