Very cool idea and I love the writeup! I'm inspired to do this challenge on my ranger. There's a couple things that should make it an extremely efficient class for this challenge. Travel efficiency: With Sow/Wolf Form and Levitate, travel time is greatly reduced, making it more feasible to check out an extra zone or two. Dungeon Sniping: Superior Camouflage and Harmony make it easy to get around dungeons, and Tracking lets you quickly see what nameds are up. DPS advantage: good offensive spells and dual wielding allow for high damage output making relatively tougher camps more possible without needing intermediate armor pieces first.
Scoring changes: For offhand weapon, I think the mainhand points formula should be used, multiplied by the DW probability at 60, or 75% for rangers. Haste items aren't mentioned; I propose they be used to modify the weapon delay in scoring: Damage / (Delay / (1 + haste)) * 250 = Base Score. For archery, I think we just use the same formula for mainhand weapons. Could also reduce it by half to account for the fact that if the goal is to gear for grouping, you don't use archery in groups very much.
