The Ranger is an offensive fighter that is skilled in melee and ranged combat. His ties to nature give him many useful skills such as roots, snares, foraging, and animal charming. The Ranger can switch from being a damage dealer to fighting defensively by using his evade and parry abilities.

STYLES & COMBAT FORMS

Rangers can choose to be in one of any three styles. The longer a ranger continues fighting the same target the greater the bonuses he gets from his style. If he switches targets his stance bonus goes back to the base level of the style.

Stances:

Offensive Style - Increases damage and decreases ability to avoid attacks.
Evasive Style - Decreases damage and increases dodge and ability to avoid incoming attacks.
Precision Style - Increases accuracy and lowers mitigation.

COUNTER ATTACKS

Rangers get reactive counter attacks that will add bonuses. The Ranger’s first counter attack is Rancor obtained at level 10.

WEAKNESSES

A weakness is a player created vulnerability in your enemy that remains for a short period of time. Some weaknesses can be exploited by using certain skills. When one exploits a weakness the attack used becomes more powerful and may add more than additional damage but may debuff the enemy or buff you or your party. For more information on weaknesses please take a look at Ten Ton Hammer’s Weakness FAQ and chart.

SPECIALTY SKILLS

Stealth

Rangers can stealth at level 12 with the ability, Nature’s Guise. Vanguard NPCs have a perception and aggro radius. Their perception radius is generally larger than their aggro radius. What this means is a mob might perceive you and break your stealth, but it will not attack you if you are outside of its aggro radius.

Forage

Rangers can use their forage ability to find useful items for their class. Forage allows them to find components for ranger-only arrows and bolts and herbs that will help make their heals more powerful.
