For me rangers are one of two must have classes (bard being the other). You can mix and match the various fighting and spellcasting classes, but rangers and especially bards give you something unique.
The ranger's big thing is they get ranged criticals as a part of ranged combat, so this is like getting critical strike for free. This means they only need two combat skills (my samurai needs six!), and thus become good very quickly. My ranger was the first to get an extra attack, first to get instant kills, and is head and shoulders above the rest of the party in kills.
And scouting is kinda nice, too... [img]smile.gif[/img]
