Rangers generally aren't needed, because they don't fill any unique role or do anything better than everyone else. There's not a lot of them, but it's hard to call it a shortage when a lack of rangers is so inconsequential.
There's a severe shortage of tanks, and warriors are the best raid tanks. There isn't a crippling lack of them, but a tank is what most groups end up lacking after it has everything else. Playing a warrior in this era tends to be pretty horrible, though, and the gear is awfully expensive. It doesn't get really good until you're sporting a pair of SSoY and preferably a haste item as well. These are prohibitively expensive for anyone's first character, and also pretty much perma-camped.
