Twin strike. Like I said a mediocre ranger in 4e is like a mediocre druid in 3.5 (well not quite THAT bad, but still). You suffer from having weak riders (because you're not gonna be able to get a high starting wis) and end up splitting a lot on powers but you do get some crazy cool stuff.

If it actually had tracking and traps and all that jazz it'd definitely be my favorite incarnation of the class. Gets to be a big scary martial paragon without actually having all that extra baggage of being a not-druid.
