Rangers still get Thousand Kisses and Instant Reset so I don't see how they are inferior to any melee class. Those two skills are all you'll ever need aside from normal attacks, close range wise.

On the topic of "Arisen and Pawn Same Build", doesn't really matter what one wants to do with his/her main pawn. You'll be able to finish the vanilla game solo (Hard or Not) no prob (only exception would maybe be Mages against that forced battle against a Golem in Witch Hunt but even that is manageable with a few tricks albeit tedious).

The same thing applies to BBI, Rangers can lay waste to any enemy in BBI apart from "Spectre-Types" until you get Dragon's Glaze. This holds true moreso than other Physical Based Vocations due to the fact that Rangers need less Attack Stat to overcome the Defensive Threshold of BBI enemies because of Deathly Arrow.
 * (Warriors have the same advantage with their Indomitable Lash and Arc of Deliverance having as high or higher Damage Modifiers as Deathly Arrow)

Enemies that aren't visibly damaged by skills like Tenfold Flurry or Ferocity augmented normal shots, can be taken down earlier by using perfectly timed Deathly Arrow Shots.

tldr: Don't fret over your Main Pawn's "Perfectness", you'll still be the one doing all the leg work lol.
