Looks like a few Two weapon fighting powers for the ranger. Also a new magical weapon.

Looking over the powers, it looks like the theme is a bit more flair for your TWFing.

Honestly, every Ranger i've seen so far has been an archer. A little love for the melee Ranger is welcome.

Again, this is just IME.

Really? I have only seen one archer; the rest I've seen have all been TWF.

My E as well. I've created a TWF ranger, in my catalog of characters, but I've never seen one played in 4E. Every 4E ranger I've seen in action was an archer.

The rangers in my groups are both TWF guys. One was originally designed as Archer, but with the other striker of the group being a Warlock, the player switched to TWF. Unwilling at first, but now he gets this certain gleem in his eyes when Elrohir draws his swords...

Is it possible that one of the reasons for the Archer's popularity is that he's the only class that really rocks the bow? That's one of my pet peeves.

So, are you saying that you would like to see someone do for the archery style ranger what the swordmage did for the fighter? A witch hunter or magestalker?

While I play a bow-ranger myself, afaik, the TWS-ranger is the considered the overpowered one, at least on the CO-boards.

It could be the bow-exclusive implication.

While other classes do have ranged attacks, no other class rocks the bow like an archery ranger does. Does your vision of your character include a bow & arrow? Better at least multiclass in your future.
