Ranger primary archetype combined with Ranger secondary is a Hawkeye class.[1]

Skills/abilities

The majority of a Ranger's skill tree will likely be ranged, but there will be options to incorporate melee aspects.[2]

  • Some abilities require a bow to be equipped.[3][4][5][6]
  • Instead of a minimum range requirement, certain Ranger skills, such as Thundering Shot, currently have variable effects conferred at different ranges.[7]
  • The majority of Ranger abilities allow movement while casting. Only a few abilities impose movement penalties while casting.[3]

Ranger augments

Hunts will be a Ranger school of augmentation.[32]

Hunts will be discussed in a future update. They are a Ranger specific mechanic, and also a school of the Ranger’s augments. They confer a number of different types of effects to your target, but the fx are particularly fun.[32]Steven Sharif
