Curse

For team play in random arena, or anywhere u want. Might be nice elsewhere.
Chose this over warrior for extra pip of energy and added boost against elements (since this is what hits you the most since warriors generally avoid rangers if they can).

Succor
Charm Animal
Comfort Animal
Ferocious Strike
(Insert 5 energy pet attack of choice)
Distracting Shot
Res Sig
(Insert low energy cost skill - i was thinking another enchantment like life bond or something)

11 + 3 Expertise
10 + 1 Marks
10 + 1 + 1 Beast Mastery (12 is breakpoint for 9 energy for ferocious i think)

Simple build - use bow and pet to deal decent damage (about 22 from your bow on softies, 26 from your pet, 50-60 from ferocious). You can add disrupting lunge to complement your distracting shot.
Now, energy concerns you say....Well, running a zealous short bow, cuts down significantly. Even to the point that running one succor produces no visible drain on your mana. So, with that extra pip of energy (1 for zealous, so you only have 2 for enchants, but thats 1 more than the warrior has :P), you can succor something else. Or pack another enchant and toss that onto the softy as well (couldn't think of anything suitable at the time).
It's a novel build, nothing incredible, but it helps monks, mes', and necros alot. And you do decent damage and have some significant interrupting capability (could pack savage shot and disrupting lunge, though savage might be tough if running 2 succors). Have fun!

trade a succor with another ranger or warrior

it will negate the energy pip and give both of you a health pip
