actually ranger / summoner can work.
Summoner doenst realy need a big stat investment and ranger, in many ways, lives off special arrows. Ranger has always felt lackluster to me because essentialy you shoot an arrow every turn.
Now, you might run into trouble trying to do a normal summoner build because youll waste a lot of your AP trying to buff your incarnate or make totmens.
I guess if you wanna go with that combination, you should stay out of combat for the first turn, summon your pet in, buff it on the first turn and then let the incarnate support melee while your character is focused on Special arrows and highground archery.

note that you can do some realy good mobility with tac retreat and the nether swap infusion for your incarnate
