Nah man rangers pwn hard in PVP when well aware of what's going on. Example: Ranger vs Thief. Ranger sees me coming, I see him so I'm all pumped to get a kill. Ranger uses poison arrow so not only do I slow up, but I'm hurt + getting hurt on my way to fight him. I get half way there and he hits me again. I get 10 blocks away, he uses root and burns me out with a fire arrow. Rangers are sick if your good with them. I wouldn't say over powered because if close combat classes get in close, your chances of winning are pretty slim (but oddly enough, it happens). If you have a steady eye, are aware that your in a pvp zone and play smart. I say a top notch pvp class.
