The two are not comparable as a good ranger will have a shortbow, longbow, hornbow, and composite bow all with different ranges, accuracy and refire rates. A paragon will have a shield and a lot more armor. I could go on about how teh classes generally function totally differently but apparently people still see a lot of worth in Broad arrowhead so i won't waste my tired little fingers. =)

Rangers are mostly offensive, Snares, Conditions, Slow high hitting damage. Rarely do the bows matter when it's upfront fighting, Recurve will interrupt faster, but any other bow besides Hornbow with RTW should interrupt just as fast as a Recurve without RTW. You also have spirits that, that's the part helper. Damage changing, Less energy, Faster recharge at expense of more energy..more health and armor, more health per enchant. Healing Spring as well.

Then you have the Paragon, who can do a multitude of things. Go totally offensive with Conditions and Slow semi high hitting damage. Spears usually don't matter to greatly, 10% adrenal will help more than 20/20 and things like that. But you have a vast number of party helpers, ranging from all sorts of things like...Damage reduction, increased armor, healing, faster speed..etc. They're On Fire with Anthem of Flame or a Searing Flames Ele is great help. Stand Your Ground! with it's 24 armor if you stay in the same place. Those other Chants that heal when you use a Skill or Spell, or the next time you take damage. Increased chance for critical hits, then doing a Deep Wound on critical hit. Good for Assassins and pretty much any attacker. There is Condition removal at a cost that isn't that much if you have RC monk etc.

My Paragon just hit the mainland although I got him to Droks, he's level 17 with 80 armor. But those 1-2 Ice Imps and Pinesoul outside of it, well with my Level 20 Ranger I soloed the group. When I was getting my run, I soloed them also, at level 17, so Paragon is almost a Ranger with Warrior type abilites/Monk abilities. I try to carry one in my party when I can. Because they are very beneficial with the right skills, most of which I have yet to get.

This is ridicolous its like comparing a Assasin and a Warrior , just because they are both fighting up front, get my idea? Its not the same right, same thing here, its not fair to compare these 2 weapons by just looking at one of the many things they can do.
