And if you have TWF or archery effects, a shield is problematic (except possibly using Shield Bash). In this build the Ranger  level "unlocks" the skills needed for the Horizon Walker (otherwise Knowledge: Geography would reach 8 ranks only at level 13), provides a favored enemy bonus and lots of skill points.  Track is fairly small bonus.  This build requires 11 cross-class skill ranks  (4 knowledge geography, 4 knowledge arcana, 3 spellcraft), or 22 skill points.  An intelligence of 12 is needed for a non-human to meet the requirements, even if Ranger levels are used to purchase the pre-req's for Occult Slayer.The "Horizon Slayer"1.
