Class Info - Ranger

[Atlas]

The Ranger is a far more versatile class than it initially appears. While specializing almost exclusively into ranged projectiles weapons, it's their subsequent abilities and use of their talents that differentiate them. The Survivalists embrace a "never say die" style of combat, focusing on utility and endurance, while the Marksman believes in putting as much power into your shots as possible.

Special Feature:

The penalty for medium and long ranged weapons hit chance is reduced by 5%. Further improvements are possible.

While other classes struggle to effectively use the more powerful ranged weapons, this is not the case with Rangers.

Talent Trees:

The ranger could become a survivalist or a marksman.

The survivalist is great at making camp, spotting stuff, finding tracks and what not.
But more importantly, they don't mind to get up close and take some punishment. Or pretend to take it, for they're great at dodging.

The marksman prefers to stay at a great distance and do a whole lot of damage to one or multiple enemies, crippling them as he does.
