A question to experienced Rangers and others who know the enemy races on this server:
Which Favoured Enemies would you pick and on what grounds? I have already read in several threads that Undead is the most useful choice overall and stays useful all the way into Epic. What is the next most useful one up to Epic if you had only 2 favored enemies to choose? And the next after that if you had only 3? I am contemplating either Giants or Dragons for second choice - the former because there are lots of Ice Giants and one of them a boss, the latter because Dragons, although few, seem to be harder to kill than Giants. What would you do and why?

Re: Favored Enemy selection
Undead - The first area to level up in is Undead as well as many other areas include vampires, mummies and DMs use them frequently and often.
Giants - One of the best grind areas is giants, epic dungeon two of them are giant areas, trolls are in the giant class so you get more against them as well with two areas being good areas to grab some treasures and the Troll Claw hills is a decent spot to run levels as well.
Outsiders - Okay this one is a bit of niche but here is why. Two epic bosses are outsiders, DEVILS and or DEMONS are outsiders and DMs use them frequently, PvP this covers Genasi of all types.....
Dragons - THE EPIC boss of the server is a dragon and DMs may use these semi often for plots. This one is just more personal preference I think though. There are dragons worth killing often on the server and a good portion of areas that you will want to loot have dragons in them so for me is worth it.
Humanoid - DMs use them a lot because humans are great fodder in events really. Covers a good portion of the server for PvP.
Elves - Covers Drow for DM events and PvP for Elves or Drow PCs.
After 6 though it is pretty much whatever suits your fancy but the top 3 should be in the order I put them for sure because that covers the most amount of server monsters and DM used monsters or whatnot. After that it is kind of preference really.

Re: Favored Enemy selection
Thanks, you two, this is helpful already.
Metaquad, why do you leave giants out of your personal preferences (but, like Calodan, mention them in number 2 in your PvE list)?
