AA kensei vs pure ranger

[automater]

If there is an existing thread maybe someone can point the way because Ive been unable to find it.

I'm wondering how a pure ranger AA compares to a kensei AA as far as DPS.

I guess the question is how does ranger capstone + FE compare to Kensei 2 or kensei 3 (depending on build) + weapon feats.
(Fighter capstones is not really an option for myself)

Kensei has more dmg

Ranger has more survivability

Kensai 3 only does more ranged dps when you have the fighter haste boost activated during manyshot. It comes out ~7-8% ahead. Otherwise, ranger AA comes out ahead, and it also beats kensai in melee combat. Taken all together (ranged plus melee) ranger AA is probably better dps than the kensai AA.
