My recommendation for 1-10 is to sub WHM, use daggers, and start learning the ranges in which your shots will do optimal damage using the compass with your desired ranged weapon.
Once thats over, i would sub WAR whenever you can for the extra power if you are holding lots of R.Acc, otherwise /NIN is good if you have lots of R.ATK. But i would have both availible for subbing. /WAR can give you numbers close to or beyond the damage of a RNG pre-patch of /ra, however /NIN gives you some safety and option to get two bonuses on a weapon. So have both ready is my recommendation.
You should not get hit or take minimal damage until level 58ish when you fight raptors that run faster than you, for just about most other mobs, they will not hit you if you are far away from them while pulling so /NIN is not a necessity imo until then. /THF is useless for RNG since Sneak Attack doesnt stack with ranged attacks nor does it offer anything until 30 before, and /MNK is useless unless you want extra HP. However /DRG from 20-30 with that Attack Bonus and Jump make it a viable option until level 30 when /WAR gives you Berserk.
And dont use hand to hand on RNG...thats not what they are there for. Have all your subs ready and know your sweet spots and monster run speeds.
EDIT: Ah yeah i forgot RNGs can use Axes...yes use those when needing to melee, thanks for reminding me Zaph. Daggers are more for parties and stat bonuses.
