This week we bring you a general overview of the Ranger class by outlining its current strengths and weaknesses as well as tactics for effiently leveling and PvPing. Mike wrote this as a way to introduce you to the Ranger class if you're new and is no way an in-depth guide for the Ranger savy.

Permitted Races: Cimmerian, Stygian, Aquilonian
Weapons: One-handed blunts, one-handed edged, daggers, bows, crossbows, and dual-wield
Armor: Cloth armor, light armor, medium armor, and shields

The Ranger class in AoC is a pure archer akin to the scout or ranger classes in Dark Age of Camelot. That means no pets and very few nature themed spells.
