yes, it could; however, rupture is mid-level(10) skill, and the battles generally are challenging pre-level 10. before you get to your 8 helpers, you need to survive early combats with basically range attacks?
And where exactly would be the problem there? The only real problem a 4 ranger approach inherits is a lack of bought/crafted special crowd control arrowas, these are scarece even with static cloud crafting.
But against the undead early on 4 Rangers plus 4 spiders? Easy enough.
