They have a short rest refresh cycle for their other abilities while rangers have daily spells. Plus of course the flavour is hugely different. I do think the ranger is slightly more potent due to Sharpshooter > Spell Sniper and the accuracy of archery being better than the bigger damage dice of Eldritch blast (or the same if you have the Xbow feat). Plus his 3rd level hunter ability is a damage boost.I think the warlock is more varied out of combat though and can hit with big damage spells if he is inclined that way. A bit if your DM likes short rests.</blockquote>
