yeah, the kiting while solo lvling is something I really want to aviod, but in group pvp I can just help spike damage targets. Of course with you tanking in pve I won't have to kite then either =P The gf actually didn't make it back to Oregon student visa issue she didn't want to tell me about, till a few days before she was suppose to fly in...
Damn, boy, that was like, two days? Sorry to hear it.
I played ranger once for about 5 minutes and hated it, but maybe that was just me discovering I hate kiting, lol. I'm down to partner with whatever class you feel like playing, though.
Think I'm going ranger for open beta and release. SM shines as a control/shutdown class in 6 man pvp groups at 50 but that has never really been my style. Ranger seems to have the best 5sec burst in game and is the anti sorc. Seeing how many sorc I've seen on the us servers I think it the better way to go. Plus if we're lvling together I think its a better combo with you tanking and dps from ranger should be better then sm once I get to 25. I hear its the worst class to lv though. Also, I'm single again so I'm going to be able to put in some good hours now =P
