I can't speak of other servers, so I will not touch on that hee.
However, the great thing about the ranger class, is that you can tailor your ranger based on how you want to play.
Humans have more strength, so they lend themselves toward the hard hitting ranger.

I'd have to disagree on the damage aspect, from my experience, and from the experince of end-game rangers, rangers are the third highest melee-damage dealers.
Rogue (when backstabbing)
Monk
Ranger
Warrior
Of course after the 30's a ranger can't tank as well as a similar warrior, but prior t |

How does the bonus damage work on a weapon? Does it get added to the base damage (so a 15/30 with a 4 bonus becomes a 19/30), or some other way? |

Though I am not 50th yet and don't have first hand knowledge, I have heard that the damage bonus is applied to whatever your normal base damage is. So if you normally hit for 70 with a weapon and if your damage bonus is 15, you would actually do 85 in that hit.

If you don't have an alt character who can provide you with nearly limitless money don't smith and expect to make some nice armor for your warrior.

Through most of your Wizard's life you will find it hard to find groups. The main reason is that it takes a long time to learn how to play a wizard correctly.
Wizards can outdamage most tanks. The exception to this is when a tank gets heals and the fight is long. (When are we going to get a co |

Holding agro is much more about who does the most damage in the same amount of time, than about who gets the most touches.
If you doubt this, then please expalne how a caster, or a healer,or a debuffer ever gets agro. |

Nope, Dmg bonus is included INTO the hit,,I.E. you hit for 85 with a 2hs and dmg bonus is 15 and Regularly its a 24dmg weapon...In that case, since you hit for 85, the dmg bonus was ALREADY included into it, meaning you really hit for 70, There ya go

I like to say that Lashara is more accurate than anything I've ever read from any website or EQ strategy guide regarding attributes. STR & DEX determines how hard and how accurate you hit the mobs.

A ranger can solo any open field zone with animals successfully. In fact, the ranger is the melee master of the outdoor zones. Some great zones for rangers from 35-40 are North Karana, Eastern Waste, Great Divide and The Overthere. Just use snare follow by panic animal and you'll be a happy "levelin |

A long time ago, to minamize the inpact of twinking, damage caps were placed on melee damage.
Before lvl 10 your maximum damage will be about 20. In effect all weapons with a damage above 10 will act as if they had a damage of 10. So pre lvl 10 your wurmy would be a 10/40 weapon.
Before lvl 20 |

You could also group up and fight Dorn in NRo. Camp the bandits, and kill Dorn, if he's weilding a dagger, that's the one you want. I still occasionally carry it in my ranged slot for t |
