Well, that depends on your definition of "luck". A ranger can be very successful, but will really never be among the fastest killers.
I currently have a pure ranger who uses holy fire in combination with bows that have the explosive arrows property. The fire damage from holy fire adds to the fire explosions, thus giving me a form of crowd control. I can't remember my damage without checking(I haven't played D2 in weeks), but I believe the total was a little over 1K, nearly all of it fire.
Skills:
Holy fire 20
Resist fire 20
Salvation 20
Holy freeze 20
rest into resist cold and prereqs.
Through normal and nightmare, elemental rangers(either cold/fireghtning) are very powerful builds. Once they reach hell though, they slow significantly. The random leaders often spawn with high resists/immunities. I would suggest a barb merc if you plan on soloing often; rangers generally need a tank of some sort, and act2 mercs are pretty fragile in hell unless you have very good gear for them(or BO/Oak).
