cloud ranger giant, near hero. Backrake is a beautiful thing against things as big or bigger than you are. Lag is 3 melees, but I've done regular domilshes and the bleeding is up to evis. Bearcharge is much like bash, protective shields deflect it. Waylay is a nice little skill. You can waylay, then go to sleep... still works. You'll wake up automatically to attack who/what ever you waylayed.
Snare sets a trap which people walk into, they are stuck... can't do a damn thing. Although, as soon as you attack, they can free themselves. I personally don't like the new rangers staffs. I still think they should be exotic... They become useless to anyone but a felar ranger.
And Wilderness familiarity... a god send. I've tanked air majors with success in the forest. Mind you, this is a cloud giant dodging like mad. But... I warn you, you truley need to get cabaled or make friends. Being uncabaled ranger is a bad thing. Masters want you dead, Empire wants you dead... Scarab want you dead. Need to make friends in battle/sylvan or both. If any younging have more questions, I'll answer the best I can.
