As far as scouts go, straight DPS classes come in 2 flavors, melee and ranged.
A melee killer (like assassin) will normally out score a archer (like ranger). In addition, rangers still need to buy arrows in in spite of always scoring lower in the parse list! I don't think rogues are even in the same damage tier as predators but I could be wrong.
In spite of all this, I still love my ranger and wouldn't flip him for anything...
