Sure any bow using class can do the same early on....
BUT things become much more different as levels increase and the gaps in bow skills become too much to reasonably kill things in a decent time.
Ranger criticals and their spells put them far far ahead (shadow archers are pretty good for their offensive dots and the pet... but they can't quad kite like rangers can do at 15).
Rangers have the same mana formula as a druid, so they have the manapool to actually be effective with magic as a main source of damage. The difference is it isn't a burst type of damage, but instead just sustained range DPS.
Is it the highest DPS? nope.... but it's unique in its strengths.
