In the first eq rangers were a lot of melee im just wondering if it will be the same in eqII or will they be mainly archers... also if they will have spells.

    I think i read that they will have no spells this time, so mostly it will be archer/melee and offcourse the new wheel oppertunities, and also tracking and traps.

    honestly from what I've seen archers will be the worst thing to play since now you will even run out of arrows...

    hehe in eq1 you also ran out of arrows unless you had a buttload of aa points.

    hmm.... anyone know of a class that would resemble the fast attacking caster because that was my favorite part of the game

    You could be a hybrid class: paladin/shadowknight

    well the thing that brought me to eq was the fighting style i know it sounds silly but i liked how duel wield and double attack worked together. if shadowknights could duel wield i would be one.

    hehe yup I had a tolans bracer for my level 60 twink ranger, takes forever to get enough arrows to kill anything, the damage was way to low, rangers became uber with the endless quiver and extra damage on arrows in the AA skills. I loved my ranger though, can do a bit of everything, cast, melee, shoot, tank (for short periods) and offcourse my alltime favorite...track.

    A scout will be a real addition to any group with the oppertunity wheel, and all scout subclasses have their own 'wheels'.

    The Ranger in EQ2 will be a master of stealth, traps, heroic opportunities and also opportunistic damage.  They will no longer be the unwanted hybrid offspring of the warrior and druids that you see in EQLive.  As a result they no longer have any spells but like all EQ2 classes will still rely on power to execute their abilities. 

    When it comes to archery they no longer get endless quiver but also keep in mind that archery uses power.  So every arrow used will inflict heavy damage as an opportunistic attack rather than just shooting repeatedly like in EQLive.  These rangers will be very different than the EQLive rangers with a very different yet defined role.

    Hope that helps
