I like that Im having to fight a fighter with my archer, and suddenly this fighter brings in 5 of his friends to help hurt me. Of course stupid my archer won't survive against your 6 party members. jeesh.
Im talking one vs one.
And I'll pit a ranger against a thief anyday. You can't backstab me during combat, your chance of hiding while we are fighting are as good as my rangers will be. Of course you can use invisibility items, but my ranger can also.
And in melee fighting ill beat you. In archery ill beat you. Maybe if you are a assassin or such you will have a better chance in melee, but a normal thief won't. I can stand with my back to the wall and keep you from backstabbing no matter how many invisiblity potions you have.
I'll pit my rangers dual weapons against your thief any day, I'll pit my archers bow ability against any ranged weapon your thief wants to try.
Your thief goes through the game fighting NPC characters, not other players. Other players aren't going to sit there and let you backstab them. They are going to be tracking you down just as you are tracking them down. They aren't going to stand in the middle of a cloudkill and die.
Rangers are good characters, they aren't just roleplaying ones.
