ranger still needs a elemtnal striker subclass

I feel like the genie paladin is a flavor that makes more sense on a ranger. they get elemental strikes, but a ranger does not . invades the space of the ranger being the primal gish .odd paladins get to be better support, damage and tank then ranger.           

They have the Drake Warden which allows for you to choose a damage type when you summon them.  I like the mechanic and links it well to the Ranger's other themes.  It doesn't really allow strikes but links the drake's damage to an energy type.  I am still a little puzzled about how the genie paladin works with an oath.  It just feels more like they slapped the genie warlock's flavor on a paladin.  

As for Drake Warden not being in 2024 yet, I have chosen to believe the designers that things not republished are able to be played with.  There are tables where the Genie Paladin won't be available because its not in the PHB.  Any of the pre 2024 material is no different.

As for Paladin being better support, damage, and tank.  Ranger is better ranged, exploration, and multi target.  That design makes sense with the lore.  Now I wish the ranged damage were a little better but that was clearly a point of design for 2024.
