Luckily, you have one of the easier epics to complete and once you have Swiftwind life gets easier. Not a whole lot easier, but a little.
Ranger leveling can be very fun and not tough as an untwink if you play to your advantages and with the addition of fear animal it is almost mind numbing...

Ranger's are able to generate agro effectively so some out of the ordinary group compositions and 'funstyles' are available.

Ranger's also have an uncanny ability to chain-pull very very effectively if played in a hyper-world-domination mode.

Ranger's can usually take an unexpectant group of lfg'ers and outpace xp expectations through sheer force of Karana's will...

Ranger's will shine late-game because of the friends they have made throughout their journey and hit-tables become less of an issue...

to OP - There are a lot of post's mixed in this area about late/mid? velious patches that fix a lot of issues with melee hit tables/skills... iirc rangers have a buff still on the way(whether buff or not relative to other classes updates i can't comment on)...someone else i'm sure will elaborate more... or can search this sub-forum more or general beta discussion subforum about patches...

daldaen usually has great input on such matter's...
