Eh, flux axe is gonna be shortly obsolete soon anyways. There are better available weapons in Kunark which are tradeable and don't have high aggro procs.
Ranger is fine you don't mind the fact that monks are going to outdamage you, take hits better than you, and pull better than you in most cases. In a group situation there are things you can do better than a monk, but they are situational (track, pull outdoors, tank easy content, some spot CC). Unfortunately, snare is largely useless on this server compared to how necessary it was on live. Kinda sucks really that the effort was never put forth to make mobs run earlier and faster the way they are supposed to. Snare was a tool every group wanted back in the days and its unnecessary here, so one of the biggest things rangers had to add to a group is gone.
In a raid setting, the first ranger becomes pretty important in Kunark to make sure the raid has pred at least, and then every ranger afterward at least adds a WS which can be handy. Other than those two things, pretty much inferior raiders to a monk for the next couple expansions.
If you care more about having fun than min / maxing, I'd say try it out. Can always roll a monk later if you want.
