Ranger
The ranger deals damage with whatever is in hand. Aimed Shot and Volley follow your main hand: a bow shoots them and a dagger stabs them. Aimed Shot, your main attack, comes round as fast as what you hold swings: every 2.2 s with the Yew Bow. Gut Stab is always a blade. Aimed Shot also marks what it hits, and your blows on a marked creature land harder. Disengage leaps you backwards out of trouble, Hunter's Call quickens the swings of everyone in your party within reach, and Pinning Shot roots a foe where it stands for a few seconds, which is your answer in PvP to anyone who closes on you.
Rain of Arrows drops a hail of arrows over everything within 6 m of the target, and they bleed it away over the next few seconds. Concussive Shot stuns what it hits for 2 s. Bound lets you run 40% faster for a while, and Rapid Fire is your cooldown: your swings come 40% faster for 10 s.
The ranger's hunt panel shows how long your Mark has left on the target. How far away it is, and whether that suits what you are holding, is on the target frame.
