Just finished going through multiple char. generations again.....

The Ranger MUST be a pure class (NO kits) to be able to dual. This is somewhat of a bummer but not as bad as it sounds because while your a ranger you can go into Shadow Keeper and set the kit to Priest of Lathandar so that when you dual to a cleric you will have the Lathandar kit goodies.

After playing w/ the char. a bit the (despite not being able to become immune to imprisonment) this is a MUCH better choice than a Berzerker/Cleric.

The negatives:
your missing out on many of the immunities that a berzerker has (paticularly imprisonment)
your missing out on Master+ wepons prof.s

The positives:
Awesome spells: entangle, call woodland being, ironskin, insect plauge
extra prof.s for 2 handed wepon (though if you have TOB their is a staff in the Keep that will make you think twice about using 2 wepons - though still the Crom + Flail Age is better)
with the boon of lathandar you get an extra attack per round (this means that you can get up to 5 attacks dual wielding w/ the right equip. & 4 attacks w/ a staff)
