I have been playing this game off and on for years and my favorite class has always been ranger. I've rerolled a few times and always have come back to it over and over. I've known its not an easy class to play and it always had this feeling of being rough around the edges especially in awakening.
Hybrid duelist class that lacked protection in its sword form and also felt extremely limitted in its mobility without the bow to help it along. But the class always lacked fair feeling protections and relied heavily on EES spam to fill its gaps that eventually got patched out. It's kit felt half baked in awakening and only really worked because of the bows mobility.
Fast forward to 2023 and the class is a complete class. Has great protection options has a kit that makes sense and is for the most part easy to get the hang of and they kep its lingering super armor playstyle. The addition of all the recent skills has made the class feel full and complete especially with the addition of wind blade and a few other skill that make her deal more rewarding damage as well as simply feel better to grind with especially at higher geared spots.
The TLDR of this post is thanks for making AWK ranger finally feel complete
