Since we are talking about Rangers,I searched but couldn't find any equivalent, but I was wondering is there an equivalent skill for rangers to the mesmer "ether signet". I'm asking because I'm a primary warrior, but usually play secondary mesmer simply for the ether signet, but i prefer ranger secondary if there was an energy gaining skill like that for mesmer...

First off, I moved your post into it's own thread, which you've probably noticed. While I/we appreciate you searching, if the threads you find don't really have anything to do with your question you're better off creating a new thread rather than bumping one from 2005.

Regarding your question, not really. Rangers have Expertise as their primary attribute, which grants passive energy management via reducing the cost of skills. They don't really have +energy skills like other professions, and the ones they do have aren't suitable for Warriors (generally they're stances and/or elite). Your (reasonable) options for energy management are as follows:
-Fix your build. If you're chewing up a lot of energy it generally means you're doing something wrong. Warriors are probably the most self sufficient profession, and self moderate their energy usage by having adrenaline skills. It would be good to post your build so we can offer critique.
-Use a zealous weapon.
-Have a monk cast Balthazar's Spirit on you (may or may not be useful depending on playstyle).

The first point is where you should start.

Nothing that I can think of as a skill to use that directly gives EN, but I've always used Bonetti's Defense. It doesn't really require much into Tactics to become useful.

Actually realized it's potential since the 55monking days in UW.

The only warrior energy management skills are "Victory Is Mine!" (elite, gain health and energy for each condition on target foe), Flourish (elite, gain energy for each attack skill that was recharged), Warrior's Endurance (my favorite elite, gain energy each time you hit with a melee attack), Auspicious Blow (hammer attack), Knee Cutter (sword attack, target must be crippled), Bonetti's Defense and Wary Stance.

Rangers also have a skill, named Scavenger Strike, that costs 5 energy, recharges in 10 seconds, and gives 13 energy at 12 Beastmastery.

And, imo, Ether Signet is really bad for energy management (for any class) because is gives about 0.2 energy per second in thee best case scenario. A decent energy management skills will give at least 0.5 energy per second.

Anyway, I would recommend you use Warrior's Endurance and just spam energy attack skills (probably with an axe or even daggers).

"Victory Is Mine!" is in Tactics. That attribute doesn't have useful skills for PvE.

Warrior's Endurance is a meta skill. Would be nice to capture as soon as you get to it. It's basically an elite skill that allows you spam spammy damage attack skills with melee attacks.

Play ranger if you want to play ranger. Play assassin if you like to play ranger as a secondary:
