Desirability of Rangers in parties

[ChezGod]

Will I be desirable in parties?
here's my equip:
level 31 ranger/15 ninja

archer knives x2
great bow+1
horn arrows (sometimes use iron arrows if i'm in a crappy PT where i'm the the only one dealing damage.)
royal archer's headband (the level 10 one)
ranger's necklace
no earrings (will get drone at 35)
cents armor, gloves, pants and legs
2 beetle rings +1
nomads mantle
merc. belt

If I sit in Jeuno with my flag up and an appropriate search comment, how long do you think it would take for me to get a PT?

and where would it be?

i love rangers in my party ^_~.. DRK+RNG+BRD=mass amazingness.....i am not gonna say any names =)..but me and a ranger were doing sharpshot+peircing arrow> sneak attack+souleater+ slice....and gettin 400 pts. each +300 point skill chain damage..on IT crawlers.. a few levels ago =)...umm people wont care about your equipment..because they cant see it..from /sea all 30-33 if they want u they will want u cuz of your damage output..not because u dont wear earings XD

I love RNG and yes with DRK they are amazing for cutting through mobs.

I would recommend your search comment simply states you have a good bow and arrows.

The problem is that many NA players still don't understand what jobs do what and the rarer jobs like RNG and BRD get looked over as they don't seem as cool!

bard+rng+drk+whm+rdm+good pld=my ideal party

madrigal and the boost song..and the MP recovery song..and the mp recovery spell of RDM....dmg of drk and rng=AMAZING!

I never have problems finding PTS. I think your reputation goes around as a player as well. Once my flag goes up, I get invites or msgs from other players within minutes. All I can say it's great to be a ranger and I am not following the norm cookie cutters and the usually mithra rng/nin combo. I make up all the stats in equipment and the people I have group with have no problem with me. Actually, they are sad to see me go.
