RANGER ABILITIES:

 

 

Ranged Tray:

 

Arrows - 

 

Slashing - Deals additional damage

Piercing - Deals additional bleeding damage.

Crushing - Stuns the target.

 

// Arrow on-hit effects are applies every third shot in quick succession. (the orange tinged shot, known as "multi-purpose" shot.

 

Passive:

Controlled Intentions - While in Ranged Mode applies Controlled Breathing to you, allowing Energy regeneration. While in Melee Mode applies Wicked Intentions to you, which removes Energy regeneration and gives you a chance to regain Energy on hit.

 

Cast Time: Passive   Target: Self

 

// Energy is your primary damage-dealing resource. While not especially important in Ranged mode, all Melee abilities take a large amount of energy to use. Including your escapes!

 

Left Mouse Button (LMB):

Straight/Power/Multi-Purpose Shot (Basic Attack) -  Shoot an arrow towards your reticle for (green) 3965-5364/(blue) 4361-5901/ (orange) 4758-6437 + 100% weapon damage. Each orange shot (multi-purpose) will apply on-hit arrow effects.

 

Cast Time: Charged   Lifetime: 0.58   Target: Reticle   Range: 40m   Velocity: 70 m/s   Cost: 1 arrow

 

// This is your bread & butter attack. Each attack can be charged up to 100%. In my playtesting, I've found it best  to charge my first two shots to about 50-60% and then 100% my T3 or orange shot as it has the most potential for damage.

 

Right Mouse Button (RMB):

Spin Step - Roll quickly in the current WASD direction.

 

Cast Time: Instant   Cost: 50 Stamina   Target: Self   Range: 8m

 

// This is your active combat roll. Think Dark Souls if you're a learned man. You can roll out of melee cones and create distance. You can do it 2 times in quick succession before you need to let your stamina recharge.

 

Key 1:

Rapid Fire - Hold to shoot up to 10 arrows towards your reticle that deal 1366-1849 + 10% weapon damage per arrow. Adds 10 Critical Hit Chance for every 2 arrows that do not critically hit. Effect is removed when your land a crit.

 

Cast Time: Hold Channeled   Velocity: 70 m/s   Target: Reticle   Lifetime: 0.58   Duration: 2   Range: 40m

 

// This is the Ranger "burst" skill, allowing a large amount of damage in a short period of time. Provided every arrow hits, you can do about 125-150% a normal shot damage with crits. Synergizes well with Sustain.

 

Key 2:

Ricochet Shot - Charge an arrow and shoot it towards your reticle dealing 1791-2423 +50% weapon damage. The arrow will chain within 6m dealing 1074-1454 + 30% weapon damage and then chain to a third dealing 716-969 +20% weapon damage. If your arrow hits 3 targets you will recieve a buff called "Hot Shot" that increases all shot damage. (% & duration currently unknown)

 

Cast Time: Charged   Velocity: 70 m/s   Target: Reticle   Lifetime: 0.58   Duration: 10 seconds   Range: 40m

 

// I considered this ability pretty weak until I discovered the damage bonus. That's a % increase across ALL abilities for a limited period of time. Along with Archer's Stake, it's well worth it to open into a group fight with it.

 

Key 3:

Suppression Shot - Shoot at a ground location dealing 2663-3602 + 100% weapon damage. Applies a suppression effect to all hit. (no skills for 6 seconds)

 

Cast Time: Ground Aimed AoE   Cost: 1 arrow   Target: AoE   Range: 35

 

// Abuse this. It currently locks out all skills including basic attack. It's a ridiculous CC.

 

(cont.)

 

[Makeshyft 237]

(Ranged Tray cont.)

 

Key 4:

Barrage - Shoot 6 volleys of arrows at target ground location, dealing 414-560 + 17% weapon damage per volley to up to 5 targets within 8m.

 

Cast Time: Ground Aimed AoE   Cost: 6 Arrows   Target: AoE   Range: 35m

 

// I've used this to mixed results. Use in teamfights when you can hit 3-5 targets, as it SHOULD do more than focusing single-targets. Not very effective in practice currently.

 

Key 5:

Launch Explosive Trap - Shoot an explosive trap at a ground location, which explodes when an enemy approaches dealing 815-1102 + 100% weapon damage as Fire. Knocks up all hit. Trap will exist for 60 seconds.

 

Cast Time: Ground Aimed AoE.   Cost: 100 Energy   Target: AoE   Range: 5m

 

// The animation is painfully long, but the knock-up is ridiculously high. It can be used to create distance, but it's unreliable because it only knocks enemies straight up, not out.

 

Key 6:

Archers Stake - Creates a Archer's Stake at the feet of the caster. The stake grants 250 attack power to you as long as you are within 10m

 

Cast Time: Instant   Range: 10m   Target: Self    Duration: 35 seconds   Cost: 100 Energy

 

// Use this whenever you get into a big fight. The damage buff is significant, but the area-of-effect is not that big. Don't be afraid to abandon if you're pressured by melee and don't have a peel.

 

Key C:

Sustain - Grants 25 Lifesteal for 10 seconds to your attacks, which returns Health for all attacks that damage a health pool. (not mitigation)

 

Cast Time: Instant   Target: Self   Duration: 10 seconds

Cast Time: Hold Channeled   Cost: 15 Energy per second   Target: Cone   Range: 4m

Well, there you have it. Every Ranger power currently available in the test.

I recall Blair saying the RMB was able to interrupt animation lock.  I also remember a few vocal people that wanted abilities that would interrupt animation lock but I haven't seen many people giving feedback on the ability and breaking locks.  Does it work for the ranger?

 

 

Right now it is more of a Dodge an attack / interrupt. It's great for breaking out of a power and moving a bit out of the way. It is not intended to be an escape

[coolwaters 4,842]

They have a ranged stun too eh?

 

Damn.

It does work. Not sure if it interrupts all of the long animation locks, but can confirm it works on the channeled AOE (#4) at least.

RMB can indeed interrupt animation lock, at least the basic attack. I'll test this more on Thursday.

[courant101 5,755]

I didn't know about the RMB to break the animation. It must be really useful for the Barrage power. Thanks for the tips!

Fun Note: You can use Cross Slash [4 Key] twice in a row! (it combos into itself)

You can actually combo it endlessly until you run out of energy.

Really? O.O Someone's going to bleed to death >:]

[coolster50 2,959]
