    Any of them, but Nightshade and Templar seem to work the best.

    Sorc is most close to a ranger since you can have summoned pets imo.

    Any, I'm working up a DK that will eventually use all medium armor for the sneak bonuses. Trying to come up with a Scout/Ranger type for PVP.

    This assumes one thinks of a ranger as summoning demonic pets rather than animals, but to each his own.

    It depends. If you go by the definition that a ranger would have a pet. Granted demonic pets, but still pets. lol. Fits in with the idea.

    I'm personally going to enjoy Critheal DW Sorc myself.

    I'm running a Bow-weilding Bosmer Nightblade. At 15 will start dual-weilding for a little more of a full Ranger feel and attack diversity. Pre-WoW I never really thought of Rangers as a pet class. More of the lone stalker, sniper-meets-dervish.
    Brunhilda Icehammer - Nord Dragonknight, 'Smith & Enchantress 'What is 'ranged? I need to hit something!!'
    Laehl Direthorn - Bosmer Nightblade, Purveyor of fine Clothes, Bows and Staves
    Reeza gra-Zuni - Orc Templar 'War Shaman' and Apothecary
    Noemi Snowpaw - Kajiit Dragon Knight - I laugh... or I'd have to kill you.
    Kitera Dreamon - Breton of The Dominion: Because those Daggers don't appreciate a great Mage.
    Lysara Shadowcroft - Dunmer Bloodmage: This will only hurt a lot.

    The best skills available that complement ranged dps = ranger. If its a class that has pets than so be it but pets do not make a ranger class.

    My first ranger was in EQ where rangers are a fighter/druid hybrid, so I would probably think of a Templar ranger for the healing.

    There are many definitions when it comes to ranger. And no, a ranger does not mean strictly range dps.

    A ranger is just a wilderness/survival themed light/med armored warrior that often lives off the land, thus often has a bow or something for hunting prey or pets as companions (it gets lonely when scouting about alone). You can build a ranger in completely different ways and theme though, it just takes imagination.There are quite a few melee rangers too, such as Strider, Drizzt, Dar, and Minsc.

    Dragonknight's Stonefist skill gives good survivability to lowbie archers. Then later add in the bow skill volley (I believe) ..both are knockbacks and really help keep the mobs off of you.
