Concentration + Fanaticism is indeed more powerful than Might, but not quite as powerful as Concentration + Fanaticism + Might!
And the Ranger APT is not strictly all Rangers. In the storyline, a Ranger field squadron comprises of 26 men: 18 Rangers, 6 Paladins that form the caisson team, 1 Ranger as squadron commander, and 1 Paladin as the caisson sergeant.
The squadron is then divided into three troops, one troop composed of 8 men: 6 Rangers and 2 Paladins. In storyline sense, the Paladins form the caisson team: tasked with carrying and preparing the ammunition bundles for the Rangers. The caisson sergeant is a guilded alchemist who prepares the various noxious and incendiary mixtures that are shot off by the ballista and the elemental shooters. The caisson team also serve the secondary purpose of providing close-in defense with melee weaponry should the Ranger poisition be outflanked or overrun, the Paladins using their shield and maces to ward off the attack long enough for the Rangers to draw their own longswords and resort to melee combat. In the game sense, the 2 Paladins are the official tanks of the troop, fixing the enemy horde in place while the Rangers shoot their bolts deep into the enemy ranks.
One thing to note about partying auras: Thorns will not be a good choice if one of the Paladins decides to use Conversion. Conversion is any sense is a bad idea for a masses party of Paladins, since the recently converted will soon revert back, and will be carrying the beneficial aura aspects of its former comrades for a few seconds more!

Political Correctness is the idea that you can foster tolerance in a diverse world through the intolerance of anything that strays from a clinical standard.
