I mean...besides root? Not getting hit is an ideal way of not getting killed.

Root is very powerful and definitely helps the ranger, but bard being able to mez/charm/fear will still make them better. I only suggested bard because the OP clearly likes the hybrid play style and IMO the bard is the closest to a ranger and would be technically better at what he wants to accomplish (even though his preferred class choice might not generally be a good fit for his goals in-game).
