Hi,

God yes, get a Ranger! Having the auto-search is a nice bonus, and eventually some Alchemy spells are learned. The ranged criticals happen more and more as they level up. My Ranger is only level 11 and he criticals usually once every 5-10 attacks or so. I think his ranged combat skill is about 80, and likewise for his bow skill.

The only draw back is the arrow use. Currently my Elven Ranger attacks twice per round with 2 strikes per attack. So, this eats up the arrows really fast. Luckily, he's also quite skilled with spears and uses that as a back up.

I'm also using the Elven bow from Wiz 7, but there a lot of nice ones to find in Wiz 8 that give your character some stat bonuses. Some of the arrows, such as Peacemakers do a TON of damage and can really help in a big fight.

In most RPG's I've played, Rangers have been horrible characters (like in WW, nothing impressive), but in Wiz 8, they are one of the best classes!
