If you want a pet, take Fey Beast Tamer and call the owlbear whatever you want.
Just note that your owlbear will not be able to activate your Hunter's Quarry, which might be a greater dps loss than the player is willing to accept.
You make that up with Called Shot, Snap Shot, and the Battlefield Archer path.
Wizards of the Coast can suck it.

Also note that as you go up in level your beastmaster pet will become more and more useless. As will you. Shoot to Thrill or a close variant is the only ranged ranger I would play. At paragon melee rangers can get pretty brutal, especially if you hybrid cleric for decent AC.

Don't get me wrong, I absolutely agree that Shoot to Thrill outclasses any Beastmaster build (I skip the rogue MC, but that's a separate issue) in terms of damage output, especially once you hit paragon and that the idea of a ranger who is consistently 10+ squares back is a recipe for disaster in the long term, but if the player is determined to play it that way, Beastmaster + raptor gets rid of a lot of dead weight. If I was absolutely confidant the campaign would never reach paragon, I'd give it a shot. But there's no way I'm not taking BFA at 11.

heh after last night’s play im not to worried right now. He kind of got the idea really quickly standing 15 squares back wasn't working out he was creeping up closer and closer to the thick of things as the first fight went on. I think the problem is going to fix itself in a few more sessions without me having to say a word.
