Ranger Overview

The Ranger is a class with the DEX attribute. This makes them start at the same location as the original Ranger class from PoE 1, with proximity to the Dexterity portions of the skill tree. (Bottom Right)

As the class name suggests, the Ranger’s specialty is Bows, providing many options for ranged attack-based combat that's often fast paced and very mobile.
