You will be much better served by running Silver Swiftblade from 1-20 and Woodsman's Staff from 25ish to 45ish.
A very-twinked ranger will actually out-solo your necro until 30ish. If you play your ranger like a warrior and don't use your spells you're gonna have a bad time and be bored and useless. Rangers are the best leveling tank for groups, one of the best pullers in outdoor zones and a great all-around asset until 50 or so when they become mediocre. They are the class I enjoy most in this game but the higher you get the more trouble you have finding groups because people want rogues instead, and most people don't realize Rangers make better group tanks than knights for the vast majority of content. It doesn't take a knight or warrior to tank a bunch of slowed sebilis mobs and rangers bring both agro management and dps, whereas a knight does almost no dps, meanwhile the cleric and shaman are sitting there at FM.

Can you elaborate more on why SoZ is no good for rangers? Im actually just curious. Rangers dont get DW till 17 so i understand why swiftblade would be more advantageous till then. But from 1-10 wouldnt a lower delay weapon do more dmg till dmg cap? Also does woodsmans staff really out-do all DW combinations till dmg bonus and higher skill cap plays intoit?
Also I agree with you on rangers efficacy during tanking, and if I were to play one its certainly something I would like to do.
