The EverQuest II Rangers are far more than being just a scout. This high damage class is all about learning some serious skill and having some serious fun. As a very well-rounded class, it is the perfect choice for any playstyle whether you happen to be a soloer, grouper, or raider.
Each ranger has their own style of play that they prefer and you should obviously tailor your strategy for the level of opponent you are facing. Without talking about level specific attributes this is how I would handle the encounters. If soloing, I typically lead with my highest damage Combat Arts (CAs) (Back Shot or Sniping Shot) from maximum range and then cycle to any arrow shots that I can not use while moving and follow with arrow CAs that I can fire while backpedaling. Remember to pick your backing path before engaging so that you do not back into another mob.
If you play a Ranger or have thought about playing one, then our newly updated Ranger Class Guide is the perfect resource to get you started and stay with you through every step of your class career.
