Rangers were meh, because the game mechanics really don't change with the class, and most know to LOS them by now.
The TOS IMO is the best class. The reason I say that is it has a large number of CCs, Does insane DPS, possibly the most burst in the game, and can heal itself. It also has the most team buffs and debuffs put together of any other class.
When I say the most burst dps, I am referring to damage output per second. That means SF (800 damage), Aura (800 damage), elemental (800 damage), SC (200 damage) - to 4 targets. That's 2600 x 4 every few seconds. That's crazy if you ask me. BUt agreed that most really don't understand the class, I rarely see any of the current players buff or debuff, and most try and use coils (thinking DPS only and not buffs) which is bad for the team.
Again, this is only my opinion, and I understand that there are many ways to play the class. I have played tos before launch, so have some experience in the different builds and that is what I am basing my points on.
