Ranger is an interesting class. They can have pets (each with their own
unique attack abilities), use traps and can also summon spirits to buff
party members. Pretty deadly from long-range, but that's to be expected.
Preferred weapons are bows, but they have some melee options. I found it
interesting that they can't use rifles. Would have made sense for them to
be rifle specialists.
