I played Drow Caverner beast master.

Since I had high dex I dodged much better than most other rangers, and predators stance was great. Felt like offensive haste.

Wasps was good too for me, right up to hero. Snakes I rarely used but once the paralysed my enemy. I wasn't expecting it so didn't take advantage.

Bears, Bleh, situational but not great in pk. Tame, never used. Wolf kin rarely used.
