I'm not sure why a ranger would need to equip a shield. It's role isn't to be a shielder, it's to be an archer that can take a few more hits and shield in an emergency (let's face it, 6 shielding is nothing on rag). The point of the raised shield skill is so that a ranger could pick up a spare shield from a commando and step in if a shielder goes down or the cades break; pretty much anywhere that a gap needs to be filled for a brief period of time. A ranger specific bow could be cool but it seems like the class which really needs some gear love is Warden (they do specialize in BOWS after all :l). Besides, ranger already gets that fancy house crafted armor to wear around
