Third tier
Ranger
Ranger is the alternative advancement option for Hunters. While it provides some support for Marksman and Falcon builds from the Hunter, it focuses most of its efforts on the trapping style of combat, preferring to best their enemies through careful planning and preparation, creating a battlefield that gives them every advantage possible.
Hawk Rush and Gale Storm provide options for Rangers that prefer to use their bow, granting an additional stream of damage on autoattacks and a wide ranging AoE respectively. They also gain access to Punishing Bolt, a single target ability that does massive damage based on what Statuses the target is suffering from.
However, the core of the job is undoubtedly its trap skills. Advanced Trap Mastery allows the user to set all traps, including previous Hunter traps, at extended ranges. In addition, they gain access to a new set of traps that persistently deal damage over time to all enemies in the area around them, scaling up with the user's Status Damage.
Finally, Rangers gain access to a suite of skills known as Nature Rituals. Though burdened with extreme cast times, these Rituals massively alter the environment around the user, greatly altering the effectiveness of different elemental properties of both allies and enemies, and granting additional unique effects. The enormous cast times of these Rituals are offset by the core skill, Ritual Mastery, which both decreases the Cast Time of the Rituals and enhances their effects.
