Ranger

Description
Much like the Warrior, the Ranger focuses on combat. However, while the warrior specializes in melee combat, Rangers wield the power of the Bow to cause havoc from afar.

Advantages
The Ranger's main focus is long range combat, but can also be thought of as a hunter. Killing a Spriggull with a bow will cause it to drop more Meat than if slain by any other weapon. This makes a Ranger invaluable to larger towns as a source of food to help keep the many players fed. In the future, Rangers may also be quite useful during boss battles, as they can quickly dish out high DPS to the boss while it is distracted by tanks.

Types
There are three types of Rangers, and each of them has their own advantages and disadvantages. The Ranger you become is determined by the skill points you acquire at the Archery Shrine. A Ranger may choose to unlock one or two gathering abilities in addition to their damage impacting abilities. It is not unusual for any Ranger to unlock a combination of skills from the different skill branches. The three types are:


 * Quick Shooter - no charge, increased speed/power
 * Sniper - 3-5 second charge, increased power
 * Multishot - 4-5 second charge, fire a volley of 2-3 arrows (requires one point in the Sniper path to unlock)
