well im shure you guys are tierd of temp threads but this is really a confusing situation. Im a MCH MBH (just for combat skills) and 0030 ranger. I'v donr ranger befor but droped it for pistoleer or something....cant remember......and always loved it. I love MCH and love my pets but i think i need to change up my toon a lil bit so i dont get bourd and iv herd i can make lots of money too. So any thoughts on what i should do? i will glad for any opinions!!

Given you're posting in the middle of the night for 'most' players, I'd not be too upset at not getting a reply within a few hours.
OK, standard reply to "what should I do" is "What do you WANT to do?" Sometimes you've got to ask the right questions if you want an answer.
Do you want to be a Master Ranger, get the full harvest bonus, all the cammo kits, big tent, weird traps, the increased health and CL but no combat mods? Then I'd say, go Master Ranger.
Do you just want to harvest? If you've got the Skill Points to spare and can live with dropping a few boxes elsewhere, take the hunting lines and dont bother with MR.
Do you want to be viable in PvP and still be able to hunt? Then I'd not go ranger (no combat modifiers at the moment) but would build a template based around, say, BH, pistoleer and smuggler's pistol lines to get great offence/defence abilities, some scary specials AND still have the ability to maskscent and hunt.
At the end of the day, it's your decision as to how you make your toon. It really isn't a "Life Or Death" matter, because if you get it wrong, you can always rebuild your template to be more the way that you want it.
The big problem with letting other people make the decision for you is that you end up with some prescriptive "the is the ultimate ranger template" and, while it might work for George or Fred or Jean, for you, it really sucks and isn't fun to play. If it's just info on dofferent templates, well, there's LOADS of posts in this forum alone discussing the merits of ranged/melee, rifle/carbines, CH or whatever possible variation you can get. (istr seeing a merchant/ranger and I know of one MID/ranger from the 'olde' days...)
Decide what you want the character to be, then have fun building it. As soon as it stops being fun, you've gone the wrong way and should maybe think of adjusting something.
