If you go for Ranger, keep always a sword or other melee weapon with you! Some enemies are fast running to you or you trigger a spot in a small place and 3 skeletons with axes attack you!
I prefer a 2 handed sword. I keep 1 shield, but I didn't use it much!
I play a ranger (+ use frequently magic spells like Magic Blast) and love it Ranger Stealth (passive) is a great skill, I find! I have also 2 pears of earrings, each with 1 Skill: one with Stun Arrows and one with Battle Rage.
On 7th of february 2015 : I start a new adventure in the Divinity world of Original Sin, it's a Fantastic Freaking Fabulous Funny ... it's my All Time Favorite One !
I keep 1 shield, but I didn't use it much!
