Can someone beat this?

Most of the time they end up with a Lothlorien bow or, worse, meleeing Morgoth. But the chance for a jackpot like this is a driving force when playing them, and they need it, in the sense that they arent the easiest of classes. If I had to play a game for a lot of money in case of a win, ranger is about the last class I would pick - too many stars need to align to make them superior to other classes. Given that the chance for a peak is smaller, it seems fine that the potential peak is higher.

Dunno... I had the impression that rangers could kill Morgoth with a stick.

You would have to be able to pick up the ammo to kill Morgoth (TO him away, pick up the shots, wait for him to come back, repeat). And hope they last long enough.

I read round of game as round of ammo. I blame a late night.

That's EVEN more idiotic... TWO non-shooter randarts with +ES???? So the next step is... rockets I suppose :O

Rocketband rocket launchers deal 1000 damage/turn and can't be improved by extra shots. Sorry mate, this setup is stronger than a rocket launcher.

Yes, killing M is obviously the easy part for rangers. Getting there isnt.

I melee M not because my melee is much better, but because somewhere along the way I acquired a melee setup to deal with bread and butter situations more readily and it gets strong enough even for M.

Well, obviously it's ridiculously overpowered... it's also extremely rare (IME, pre-4.0) and it can be pretty fun to get there ridiculous randarts once in a blue moon. Removing it completely just makes the randarts pretty bland overall.
