I played an EQ ranger through Velious and can say they were overpowered relative to other melees early on. There as a short time where a well equipped ranger was arguably the best tank in the higher level game. (When Rubicite was the best armor around, etc simply being able to make sure your runners were snared was worth a lot) Though there was the whole hybrid exp penalty to go along with that for a bit to. They did a lot to change that balance problem as the high end content got developed though, and reversed it quite handily with Kunark turning Rangers into some wierd almost DPS almost Tanking hybrid. (I understand it changed quite a bit with further expansions but I was off in DAOC land by then)
