Adjusting my 3 man group sorc-wiz-pally to sorc-wiz bard or ranger?

[Necrodeus]

So not having much fun with the paladin in the group was thinking I could make my 3 man team better with a bard or a ranger I just can't decide wich one I will use.

If you have any feedback on why one would be better for this group I would appreciate it.

Currently 33 sorc 27 wizard.

I recommend bard, this way you can loresing your own stuff. Come Duskruin or any digging event, the bard will provide much convenience. The sorcerer can already pop most of your boxes with 125, you'll end up with a really self sufficient group.

I would go with ranger. Would give you buffs you are missing and help with foraging bounties.

Well, with bard, you have the added benefit of buffs from songs affecting the entire group, and loresinging to anything you happen to come across. With ranger, you've the benefit of things like mobility, and colors on demand, as well as debuffs like sounds, vines, breeze for clouds, and the ranger companion as well. Plus the ranger can forage up just about any herb you need, and foraging bounties are an absolute breeze.

Personally, if it was me, I'd say ranger

thanks for the input fellas I moved my ranger over to my 3rd account and I'm now using him.

I'm currently set up as a TWC/OHE - I'm kinda new to rangers any suggestions or tweeks I should make to my current training to be more group friendly? worried about low DS with TWC ranger as my pally had decent DS and never got hit much in offensive.
