EDM Ranger - thoughts?

At first glance it is a bit low on skills for a Ranger IMO and the AB is low when you can't use HiPS (so in any dungeon). Expose Weakness helps here as can use of wands from UMD cross classed. The cleric domains add a point of AC and give an additional 10% bump to movement in natural outdoor areas. Probably would be more powerful to take Chaos Domain for a bit more protection due to low Will saves. Cleric spells offer a little bit of a bonus and would be nice to get CHA to 22, but to do this requires dropping CON to 9 or INT to 8...Neither is very appealing for a Ranger IMO. Seems to have a lot of negatives (requires +3 STR, CON, CHA and WIS item / lowish AB / not ideal saves). However, I think it has a lot of positives as well... When buffed up and using EW it has 12 APR with +14 damage from EDM as well as 2d6+6 damage against favored enemies and can also reach mid 50's AC.

Thoughts?

It should work.

Though a part of me is a dissappointed. I was expecting to see some Brutal Throw EDM Stormlord Ranger action! :lol:
