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

class="pn-content-page-body">

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  href="http://vanguard.tentonhammer.com/index.php?module=ContentExpress&func=display&ceid=568">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.
