Not Just Support

[Mikaelus]

lol, play with a Ranger more, your 29 HU and 11 FO cannot give you a decent experience of anything, really.

Rangers do NOT stay afar and shot, simply because monsters are everywhere.
Actually, Rangers are the class that requires the most skill in the game, at least online.
FOs support and HUs hack 'n slash, RAs have to use the good weapons to help the team (FS/SQ to freeze, etc.) they do support with weapons, that requires skill, and on many situations, they deal the most damage.

And HUcast is not very difficult to play: hit A, took mine to Lv192 that way.

Ahhh... But I played PSO to level 200 online on the DC, and I recently had a corruption of level 100+ characters... But a few things:

1) They do the most damage as th'er multi-hit weapons are the strongest.
2) Nobody else uses freezing weapons because their accuracy leaves a lot to be desired.
3) Forces tend to be better when using some big spell, like Rafoie, unless you are up against a boss, in which case they ARE better at support, as they die more easily.
