==Description==
  
   
  +
==Overview==
−
No class is deadlier from afar than the Ranger. A sniper equipped with a massive longbow, Rangers deliver punishing arrows from a distance, taking out enemies before they’re able to come near. And thanks to their dual daggers, Rangers are capable of facing multiple opponents up close.
  
  +
:''"A strider whose exceptional bow skills make them a deadly threat from afar."''
   
  +
Ranger is a long range attacking class, utilising the [[Longbows|Longbow]], able to also defend itself in melee with [[Daggers]] - all of a Ranger's offensive power comes from [[Strength]] -it does not use magick.
−
Primary Weapon: [[Daggers]]
  
   
  +
For armor Ranger's generally [[Light Armor Sets]], or similar non-set components - A trade off between defense and mobility is required. Custom arm armor leaves one hand unrestricted for dextrous use of the bow. A ranger's armor requirements may be slightly less than the [[strider]] due to them fighting more at range, and less in melee.
−
Secondary Weapon: [[Longbows|Longbow]]
  
   
  +
Rangers have the very high [[stamina]] and [[strength]] growth to the disadvantage of [[Defense]] and all [[magick]] values - this matches their skill set which is focused on long range attacks, including 'sniping' shots - damage from the longbow is optimal at much greater distances than that of the [[Strider]]'s [[shortbows|shortbow]]. Their set of Dagger Skills are inferior to that of a Strider, though they can still make an effective [[climbing]] attacker, and need not fear close melee.

Primary Offensive stat: [[Stats|Strength]]

==Strengths and Role==
 +
==Skills and Augments==
   
  +
:Skills in '''bold''' are unique to the Ranger.
−
'''Expert Marksman:''' Rangers are the only class able to equip longbows, which allows them to do massive amounts of damage from long distance. They can target and attack multiple enemies at once, deal heavy damage to a single opponent, or cover a wide area in an impressive volley of arrows -- all from a safe distance.
  
  +
:Skills in ''italics'' can only be obtained via [[Skill Rings and Bands]] found in ''[[Dark Arisen]]''.
   
−
'''Massive Range:''' The skill Meteor/Comet Shot allows Ranger to act as a long-range sniper, killing enemies over great distances before they even know what hit them.  
  
   
  +
===Core Skills===
−
'''Selection of Arrows:''' Rangers can unlock several different skills that allow them to hinder, wound, or otherwise incapacitate enemies. Coupled with various types of equip-able arrows ([[Oil Arrow|Oil]], [[Poison Arrow|Poison]], [[Blast Arrow|Blast]], [[Sleeper Arrow|Sleeper]], [[Petrifying Arrow|Petrifying]]), the Ranger has a wide variety of attacks to fit each battle.

'''Deadly Accuracy: '''The Ranger's arrows are the most accurate of all long-range options, especially over medium to long distances. Some of the Ranger's skills allow it to target a creature's weak spot and fire up to ten well placed arrows at once, or fire one massively powerful shot. Rangers can also fire a wide spread of arrows, ensuring some will strike the target, or a close-range shotgun blast of arrows that will decimate crowds.

===Dagger Skills===

'''Highest Stamina Growth:''' Rangers have the highest stamina growth of all vocations, allowing the ability to run longer, cling to foes longer and use more skills.

<span style="font-weight: bold;">Weak M</span><span style="font-weight: bold;">elee C</span>'''ombatant:''' The Ranger does not unlock any further dagger skills past the base skills the Strider acquires. When confronted up close, it is often better to retreat to a safe distance and continue to fire arrows, which can be difficult to do in some close quarters dungeons. The Ranger also cannot fast climb an enemy Boss, unlike the Strider.

! class="txtbg1" |Description
−
'''Low Defense:''' The Ranger class has one of the lowest defense ratings in the game (on par with the [[Strider]] and [[Assassin]]), rendering them very easy to overpower. A Ranger caught unaware can be easily slain by bosses and ranged attackers.
  
−  
−
'''Bow Mobility: '''In exchange for the power of the longbow, the Ranger has a very slow walking speed while aiming. Additionally, some skills completely restrict movement. This can leave a Ranger vulnerable if enemies approach from a blind spot or attack too quickly to dodge roll. Moving with the bow drawn also decreases the accuracy of the ranger.
  
−  
−
'''High Stamina Usage:''' Many of the longbow skills, while powerful, require a lot of stamina to use and sustain. Repeated or improper use can very quickly lead to a lack of stamina in heated battles.
  
−  
−
'''No blocking ability: '''The Ranger must rely on the [[Forward Roll|dodge roll]] and to some extent, [[Instant Reset]] for its ability to instantly interrupt a skill animation, to avoid incoming attacks.

*[[Meteor Shot|Meteor/]][[Comet Shot]] is the Ranger's sniping skill. The execution is quick and the arrow moves incredibly fast. Aim for the head for critical hit increased damage.
  
−
*[[Heptad Shot|Heptad/]][[Endecad Shot]] is a wide shotgun blast. This skill is extremely powerful at short range, significantly less so the farther the Ranger is located from the target. 
  
−  
−
*[[Gamble Draw]]/[[Great Gamble]] is a perfect boss killer move and the slowed down time and arrow curving make for easier aiming and a good photo. Giving a Great Gamble pawn [[Mushroom Potage]] will make that Ranger a stamina battery for the entire party since the pawn will instantly use a curative to refresh its stamina once the shot is made; when the only stamina curative available to the Great Gamble pawn is a group curative, then the entire party benefits. 
  
−
*[[Cutting Wind]] is not only very useful for quick evasion, but will cause the Ranger to flank and strike at the unguarded rear of an enemy on a second skill button press.  A rear strike from Cutting Wind is devastating to an enemy bearing a shield or magick shield since shields/magick shields do not protect the enemy's back side. This skill is significantly better at accurately targeting a moving enemy than the Strider's [[Helm Splitter|Helm Splitter/]][[Skull Splitter|Skull Splitter/]][[Brain Splitter|Brain Splitter.]]
  
−  
−
*[[Instant Reset]] is designed to interrupt an existing movement/animation.  Very useful when followed by a dodge roll to avoid damage, it is faster to Instant Reset out of a bow skill than to sheath the bow and then dodge rolling. The small stamina cost is not that great of a price when compared to saving health points. Conversely, Instant Reset can be used to instantly recover to one's feet from a knockdown or dodge roll.

*Unlike the [[Strider|Strider's ]][[Mighty Bend]], a Ranger is completely immobile while charging the [[Dire Arrow]]/[[Deathly Arrow]] skill. While charging, it is helpful to have pawns nearby to keep enemies at bay.

RANGER

The Ranger is an Advanced Vocation in Dragon's Dogma. It costs 1,000 Discipline Points to switch to this vocation.

Overview

"A strider whose exceptional bow skills make them a deadly threat from afar."

Ranger is a long range attacking class, utilising the Longbow, able to also defend itself in melee with Daggers - all of a Ranger's offensive power comes from Strength -it does not use magick.

For armor Ranger's generally Light Armor Sets, or similar non-set components - A trade off between defense and mobility is required. Custom arm armor leaves one hand unrestricted for dextrous use of the bow. A ranger's armor requirements may be slightly less than the strider due to them fighting more at range, and less in melee.

Rangers have the very high stamina and strength growth to the disadvantage of Defense and all magick values - this matches their skill set which is focused on long range attacks, including 'sniping' shots - damage from the longbow is optimal at much greater distances than that of the Strider's shortbow. Their set of Dagger Skills are inferior to that of a Strider, though they can still make an effective climbing attacker, and need not fear close melee.
