This article explores the Ranger class at surface level. For anyone who is just starting out and want to learn more about the class, here you’ll find a rather complete class introduction. But if you want to get your hands on a much more in-depth reference and the unique strategies to easily master the class, then this Aion Ranger Guide is one you should not forget to check out. This guide can work wonders for any player when referred to along with this Aion handbook and this Aion Kinah-making Guide.

Ranger EmblemRangers are the premiere kiting class in Aion. This class is able to attack enemies from afar, even while running! Not only are they able to deal damage while running, they also have the possibility to snare (slow) enemies at the same time. Tack this on to the fact that they have traps they can lay (that do anything from rooting enemies into the ground to dealing a great deal of damage to them) and you have a solid DPS character. The Ranger is are great for not only solo combat but group combat as well.

Their strong benefits are :

• Ability to kite enemies from a distance, attacking while running
• Decent evasion, although lower than the Assassins
• Ability to snare enemies to slow their run speed down
• Ability to lay a variety of traps that do things such as root or damage enemies

Their weak points are :

• Not able to take too many mobs at once due to low evasion
• Low defense so more damage is taken from enemies
• Normal bow shooting is very weak compared to skills
• Traps are somewhat expensive and can sometimes fail

The Ranger’s weapon of choice is the bow, although they also have skills for swords or daggers (or a mixture of the two). Generally, in groups the Rangers will be using their melee weapons and solo they will use bows. The daggers or swords have a higher attack power than the bows do, plus faster attacks, making them much more efficient. In solo play, however, kiting is the best method of leveling because the amount of damage taken during battles is significant. There are various Ranger strategies like this one that players can employ to enhance their character’s performance for different scenerios.

The Ranger is only able to use Cloth or Leather armor which is why their defense is so low. Because of this, they can be considered as “Glass Cannons,” meaning they are able to deal a lot of damage but also take a lot in return.

Conclusion : The Ranger is a “Glass Cannon” class. They are able to deal much damage but at the same time take a great deal of damage. In terms of their battle styles, they have two very different ones. One revolves around duals (either daggers, swords, or one of each) and relies on groups to do the tanking for them. The other revolves around bows and is the best method for solo combat, relying on traps and snares to keep enemies from attacking them.
