Also dont go and make some caster just to fund your melee. My very first character was a Monk (relatively gear dependent to be good) and I made it all the way to 60 with no problem. Once you hit 46 you can start getting planar armor and you have saved some plat and can buy some good shit and life becomes wonderful. Its 100% not worth it to level another character just to fund the one you really want to play. With that said rangers are incredibly uselsss (suck at tanking, medicore dps, 40% xp hybrid penalty, suck at pulling sans outdoor zones) and you WILL have trouble grouping unless you have a reputation of being a "good" ranger or make good friends along the way who dont really care what you play they just like your company.
