Rangers can solo fine, but it will be a bit slower than Blue due to weaker gear. I found the root + arrows down to a certain health %, then melee until they flee works fairly well.
Stick with mobs that flee though, as you will not be able to melee for long. Since you have snare, root and a tiny heal, it really isn't so bad for leveling solo. Animal fear as a means to solo is fine in Velious, but awfully boring.
The trick, however, is to stock up on arrow-making mats prior to venturing out. You'll go through a lot of arrows, so use the cheapest long-range recipe you can handle. So, it certainly helps being somewhat close to an archery supply vendor.
But yeah, Rangers have SoW, snare, root, harmony, etc. It is a pretty solid solo class if you are patient and plan.
