As for the melee ranger, there IS a place for the melee skirmisher. However now that we have the slayer sitting firmly in the 'two handed weapon striker' slot what actually would you do EXCEPT a two weapon fighting melee skirmisher? I mean I agree, the whole two-weapon thing was always hokey and wasn't even the ranger's original shtick to begin with, but there doesn't seem to be too much other territory for it to occupy at this point.I guess they could just kill the melee striker ranger totally and just keep the beastmaster? But I'm really doubting we'll see a class like that in Essentials. So get used to it, we'll have the PHB1 ranger sawn in half and presented as a TBF sub-class and an Archer sub-class (and how will you do something that is the current flex ranger, who knows exactly). Or what the heck, maybe somehow those WotC guys are just that much smarter than all of us and they'll do something completely unexpected.</blockquote>
