Well, I like my D/Ranger. The dervish brings a number of enchantments already, and many of them inflict conditions when you end the enchantment. I added "apply poison" to skill bar, along with whirling defense for when things get hairy.
So I poison a guy, enchant myself, break that enchantment, cause bleeding, enchant myself, break that, and set nearby baddies aflame for 3-4 seconds.
I also like having the rituals...like winter and so on. And traps...well, imagine the possibilities...cripple and bleed, line them up, and mow them down with the scythe.
I did discover that it limits some things...ranger preps and the like are high energy, so I can really only use one or two in battle; many ranger skills are bow-specific; but overall, I like it a lot.
