H2H only really benefits rangers towards the end of their careers when knuckleblades + ice blade does more dps on fire mobs than the frozen bow + ice quiver does.

A H2H build is generaly used when the mainhand weapon damage and attack speed lower your dps compared to the damage of your armor and the attack speed of your hands (technicaly your arms).
Rogues and rangers have an advantage with knuckleblades but rangers benefit off this more due to their natural "Bow" dps being less than a rogues' "Dagger" dps.
Rnagers can use steady aim and rapid shot with a bow then switch to knuckleblades and an offhand.
Rogues can just cast poison weapon and use smokebomb to their advantage.

Can't you use quickstrike with hth as rogue ?
I only use hth on my ranger not on my rogue.

Starting a h2h ranger right now he is lvl 15 and uses ancient lance right now, I hope this is a good place to ask questions.
Since I am going H2H tank/support, I don't need much main hand damage.
1. Does rapidshot work with hand to hand and haste gloves and super combo? All stack?
2. What support skills are there on ranger besides bolas, light heal, and conceal? And what do they do? And what does conceal do?
3. What do stats do on rangers? Does only strength effect things like piercing/slash damage, or does dex do this as well? Does Focus effect light heal amount or any other support skills? Does dex just increase defense and attack or does it do other stuff for ranger?
4. what speed are knuckleblades?
Thanks a bunch.

Not all, but I have a few answers for ya.
Weapon speed gets no better than 50%. Rapid shot gives 50% haste as well as pots. None stack, not even gloves.
Rangers support skills: light heal- comparable to a Druid heal now with enough dex

. Conceal-completely worthless. Don't use it. Entangle- slows enemy attack speed by 50%. Good for bossing if you wanna sink the pts into it. Defensive spikes- comparable to fire cloak, but not good, low damage and pointless for a ranger who doesn't want to get hit. Only for support rangers really.
Strength affects auto-attack damage. Dex effects skill damage and light heal. Focus is not needed.
Hope this helps a bit,

This may have changed, but last time I checked the description for rapid shot actually mentioned that it does not stack with anything.
