Different types of Rangers.

What are the different types of being a ranger?
Well just looking around this forum will answer that but I'll add some.

Bow rangers really decide 3 things, the fuel (mana), the attacks, and the defense. For fuel, they come either regular mana, or blood magic based wich uses life as mana, and utilizes lots of life/life leech.

For attack, usually there's elemental based like lightning, or physical based like split arrow. Also u can use non bows but PERSONALLY I'd just make a duelist or marauder instead if I wanted to go that route, but that's me and I'm a noob.

For defense there's evasion or armor or the passive iron reflexes wich converts evasion to armor. Popular opinion is that strict evasion is bad since u will dodge 9 hits but die from the tenth so most people get the IR passive and just use armor based.

Hope this helps a little to start.
I herd there were different types of ranger but don't know which one to choose. I don't want to mess up my passive skills tree.
If you ranger is your first char you probably will mess up her passives, unless you spend a lot of time reading the forums and the wiki.
A guide might help you, but since ARPGs are very gear dependent you would need certain items to make the build explained to you by the guide work.

I really don't think it's that hard. You can copy builds easy and even branch off and improvise with just a few tips. Things like aim for notables, use synergy with keynodes etc. Dont get mana if u use blood magic, don't get elemental Dmg if u don't plan on using elem skills, these concepts are pretty easy to grasp with just a bit of forum research.
This is my insta-mana build.....still some points to spend on defence and hp .
Atm in doing fine in atc3 merciless.....but I have to admit ....defence is very very important for Merciless....so my advice is ....do not go too much on offence.

Cool, Iv always eyed those northern mana nodes and wondered how a build like that would work. Mind sharing your skills and gem setup?
Thanks for the answers guys!
