Ranger's can't take that much damage, but with max bow as well, the monsters won't be getting to you with many HP either, so they will fall quickly, unless you miss so many shots that you just spelled your name out in the ground behind your target.
Rangers, I might add (and archers in general) are the very best choice to kill ranged mobs; your bow not only does good damage, but it also interrupts their attempts to shoot you (which they must stand still for).
the ranger who is currently being hit should turn on his Escape Speed buff, run the mob to about the extent of the range on the bows of the rest of the group, and then circle the group allowing the other rangers to plunk more arrows from long range.

The Boeing XPBB-1 Sea Ranger, or the Model 344, built for the U.S. Navy, was an extremely long-range flying boat patrol bomber.
