Halfling Ranger+Bastard=Ranger wis ac. Human+GSword=nada

Currently there is a bit of a inequity between med and small size player characters. The small size AC and AB advantages aside, small rangers can equip a med weapon and still receive wis AC even though the weapon cannot be equipped in the offhand. Med rangers cannot equip lg weapons and receive the wis ac bonus. Is this intentional or an oversight?

Intentional. This has been discussed many times over and the discussions have always boiled down to that we have to suck it up. If you want wis ac on medium ranger with 2h weapon, pick spear or trident.

Rangers are strong enough already, as if there were very few being played currently, I have not counted but i could safely say there is one in every run I've been to for the past several months if not years. One of the most durable and high damage tanks in the server, self buffing, wisdom ac and higher armor ac than monk, and even instant kill ability. While there are plenty of other builds suffering with terrible design structure. Shouldn't the devs focus on things that need real help? Maybe I am understanding it wrong, but the intentions of the mod appeared to be to give unused features of the engine new life by adding to their effectiveness. Ranger is used far more than other builds already, cause its powerful. Whereas other classes are far less effective, and some entire classes are utterly useless and nonexistent(PDK). Why worry so much about something that is clearly not a problem?

I believe the problem was in small vs. medium toons, rather the class. Rangers are in a good spot, size and 2h weapon usage has been an ongoing topic for quite a while now.

uhm...pretty sure it completely is about the class

Rangers: amirite?
