I prefer Strider pawns over Rangers, mostly because we're often in close range anyway. Like all AI pawns have a detection range, they don't snipe at something you can spot across the canyon like you the human player does. Imo the player Arisen makes a much better ranger.

The biggest reason though are the Strider's aoe attacks Fracture Dart and Downpour Volley. I've had my 2 strider pawns obliterate dragonkin without taking any damage since the beast was stunlocked the entire time. I do a lot of farming at the arena-type areas and this really speeds things up.
