While beginning work on the Druid starting quests, it became clear that it makes sense to do Ranger at the same time since they are sharing a starting zone and fill their group with the same animal taming system. To that end, Ranger has been added to the game.
All Archer skills have had a pass done on their stats and damage to make them more interesting. Rangers have access to all of the base Archer skills
Added 5 new Ranger abilities that Archer will Not have access to.
Added 4 Quivers (Ranger class item) with levels and powers
Added Ranger spawning/respawning in the new Verdant Hollow zone as well as Druid.
T1 & T2 zones are next for them and then Quests (It’s better to have the zones in before implementing the quests, quest outlines are there already).
Ranger may be difficult to play without dedicated healer classes available. However they can do some serious DPS so only playtest time will tell.
