The humble (and oft-forgotten) spear may have killed more people in history than any other melee-weapon. It gives standoff distance, momentum, and interesting angles of attack.

For closer ranges, a ranger would find that a handaxe and a short sword/long knife would be a good combination for both survival and battle.

Add a bow, and you've some formidable potential.
