Budget ranger advice

[Sterik]

Been fighting the urge to try a ranger out as I never played one on Live or here on P99.Not sure if I will like it enough to stick with it so not looking to drop much on him.What are some respectable yet cheap armor/weapons to get him off to a decent start?I was figuring maybe just throw a set of banded on him and spend the plat on 2 good weapons but thought I would ask here first to make sure I wasn't missing out on any armor better than banded that was also still cheap.Only really looking to drop around 1-2k on him until I know if I will stick with him or not.Thanks in advance.
