The Ranger

Ranged physical

The untouchable hunter. Shoots on the run, wires the chase path and leaps clear when it breaks.

The Ranger fighting a wolf pack with its own spells

How it plays

Keep your distance and keep moving. The Ranger shoots on the run, wires the chase path with snares and leaps clear when it breaks. Hunt one target an arrow at a time as the Huntsman, or fill the sky over a whole pack in the Windstorm.

Fights with bows, crossbows. Wears leather.

Every Ranger has

The core kit, whichever Path you take.

Two Paths to choose between

Each Path adds three spells and a passive of its own. You can change it later at a trainer.

Huntsman

Damage

One target, one arrow at a time: kite with Windpierce, wire the chaser, pin it with Hollow Arrow and stop for the critical Long Draw.

  • Long Draw
  • Hollow Arrow
  • Quarry's End

Quarry Your first hit marks a target as your Quarry: it takes 15% more damage from you. When it dies the mark jumps to the nearest enemy. Windpierce on your Quarry interrupts its cast.

Windstorm

Damage

Fill the sky: Feather Fan into Fleetfoot, leap out, rain Hailfall and Tanglewire on the chase path. Featherstorm once you have bought room.

  • Feather Fan
  • Hailfall
  • Featherstorm

Windstorm Your shots bounce on to one more enemy nearby for 40% of their damage.

Knacks, small extras any Ranger can pick: Fern Cloak, Field Dressing, Long Stride.
