The reasons I prefer 2 rogue/8 ranger over 2 ranger/8 rogue are as follows.
The main reason I would prefer the higher level to be ranger is because at 9th level you can select improved critical with your chosen weapon type: piercing, slashing, bludgeoning, or ranged.
But doing the rogue and dip to ranger for 2 levels is a very solid and viable build I took that build up to level 8 in the beta and had a blast with it.
