Rangers are one of the more survivable classes due to their mid-level armor, arsenal of defensive stances and self healing. Additionally, a Ranger has the highest armor vs. Elemental damage of any of the professions. Another feature of the Ranger profession is the ability to tame a pet to aid you in combat. Because of all this, a Ranger can fill in many gaps in a party. The patron goddess of rangers is Melandru.
The Primary Ranger's base armor provides moderate protection. It has 70 base armor and +30 Armor versus Elemental attacks, +5 Energy and +1 Energy Recovery. A starting Primary Ranger can expect to have 25 Maximum Energy and 3 Energy Recovery. The Ranger's primary attribute is Expertise. Expertise alone can merit using the Ranger as a primary profession, even for builds that do not use many Ranger skills or bow attacks. (e.g. the Touch ranger) |
I'd point out trapping and Edge of Extinction as other very common reasons to include a ranger in a party. Trapping allows the spreading of many conditions and pre-loading of damage, particularly effective if a tank can pull a group together into layers of pre-laid traps. Edge of Extinction works well with diffuse AoE to kill masses of typed foes. Edge puts out an awful lot of damage for the energy cost.
