    Half-Orc Ranger?

    Please explain?

    Half-Orcs surely can only Be Fighters, Barbarians, Clerics and Thiefs.

    Again... explain it to me?

    Of course, you're right... Really worked a lil too hard yesterday :) I prefer a ranger, but you're right, it can be no half-orc. Not a big problem for you can compose the 1 lower str. with one of the Giant-girdles and the few less HP is not a big problem at all. So, a human-ranger with Flail of The Ages/Equalizer in the main hand and Crom Fayr in the Off-Hand.

    thnx for correcting me

    Yes

    but not every ranger is going to run around with the most powerful weapons in the game.

    if you ask me a more ranger style of weapon would be a scimitar... or maybe a Spear or Halberd. NOT EVERY RANGER SKILLS IN BLEEDING LONGSWORDS, FLAILS AND HAMMERS!

    sorry... i apologise for that as i do like those weapons... but i get tired of people explaining that "Crom Faeyr duelled with the Flail of Ages is wikked". Of course it will be because these are HIGHLY powerful weapons.

    I luv the ranger class indeed i do... but this is about Classes and their advantages... NOT WEAPONRY! No one should take this personally i just sometimes am an arsehole about these things.

    sorry... i must stop this ranting thing... i'll get chucked off one of these days! (i'm sure u lot won't care :D)

    [​IMG] Why do you like rangers so much?
    They can't get grand mastery like fighters and the bonuses are small compared to paladin kits.

    Could someone tell me why ranger is so good?

    So many classes, too little time.

    I played monk first time and I really enjoyed him. Of course this was before the patch, so he was a killing machine with the Celestial Fury!

    I am currently playing Kensai/Mage, he's fun, but I'm taking a break from the game right now.

    Fighter/Cleric looks good, there are alot of undead.

    I'd like to also try an archer because there are so many good arrows throughout the game.

    Now that I think about it, one of the bard classes would be fun too.

    Half-orc barbarian, might be a nice addition.

    Damn, I don't know what to do. :)

    Rangers are cool in the 'roleplaying' sense becasue they're the true champions of good, unlike the hypocritical paladins. In gaming, the Archer is amazing, the Stalker is deadly and the Beastmaster is good party support. Plus, they get 2 free points in dual wield.

    Dualclassed human Kensai-thiefs are definitely my favourites, followed by dc kensai-mages. I also like dc swashbuckler-mage (fighting ablilities like multiclassed fighter-mage-thief + AC-bonus + thieving abilities).
