...I really wanted to play a ranger, but from what I read it isn't exactly the best of the classes(Sounds like archer in dragon age...
The Ranger in DKS is nothing like the archer in DA. I have 5 characters here, one of each class, and my most favorite is the Ranger. She turned out to be the strongest, what I call "the most over-powered" built. You should most certainly give it a try if you want to dominate. Here's my built at L-46:
Ranger Strenght:15
Splitting Arrows: 15
Exploding Arrows: 15
Way of the Ranger: 15
Wisdom: 15
Reflect: 15
Mana Efficiency: 9
Firewall: 9
Fireball: 5
Heal: 8
Lockpick: 7
Regenerate: 5
Master Herbalist: 5
Encumberance: 3
Mind Read: 1
Poisen Arrows: 1
