A Question for anyone who has played a ranger a lot...

[Excellio]

So, on these forums, I notice everyone always talking smack on rangers. When I think about Rangers, I guess I can see why. As a hybrid, they're obviously not as good with meleeing and tanking as a warrior, and they're not as good at druid stuff as a druid. So why would anyone play a ranger? What advantages does a ranger have that make them worth playing? With other hybrids, I can see why someone would want to play them, like SK's getting pets and Paladins getting heals and buffs. But I can't think of much with regards to rangers. It seems like someone who wants to play a ranger would be better off playing either a druid or a warrior or something else.

Am I wrong?
