Ranger is not a bad class, the problem is they do not specialize in much of anything. Play a Ranger if you want to play EQ on hard mode and have a sense of accomplishment when you kick ass and break the preconceptions that make rangers less desirable.
With that said they can solo some, they aren't terrible in groups, but like druids you have to really understand all your roles and how you can best help the group based on it's makeup.
