Ranger Guide by Radiënt: Aim for Perfection/Job

This is the Rangers special, also known as two-hour ability or EES (Eagle Eye Shot). It's a damage move, suitable for the damage dealing role as a Ranger. It starts out awesome, possibly the most powerful damaging ability... till higher levels. When you gradually level up, every job gets stronger and gain access to more powerful equipment, abilities and weapon skills, but Eagle Eye Shot remains the same from level 1 to 75. Long story short, this is basically a highly accurate Sidewinder/ Slug Shot. Like a weapon skill, it consumes ammo and has a TP return if it connects, but you're only limited to one use every two hours unless reset with special items or abilities.

This is the job ability for I'm-too-poor-to-afford-crafting-materials-to-make-my-own-ammo kind of Rangers. It just gives you a chance to find an item, depending on the zone you get crafting materials for bolts, arrows or bullets. Supportive, damage and enhancing wise it does completely nothing (besides lifting a slight amount of stress on your wallet)

I suppose it resembles scavenge a bit. It just makes you invisible, undetectable for sight aggressive monsters. It sort of saves you gil, you won't have to use a prism powder then. But duration isn't very reliable. It can wear off the moment you use it or it can last for quite a while.

This is your second real offensive job ability. Though the description is a bit misleading: "Fires multiple shots at once". This is not completely true. Yes, you do fire multiple arrows in one shot, dealing damage equal to those shots and gaining TP equal to those shots. But no, it's technically not all at once. Instead you fire one arrow at a time, if one shot misses, the remaining ones will not be fired. Meaning: if you miss the first shot, you won't fire the remaining ones.

People consider this the NM claiming ability, which I completely agree with, but I rather utulize it as save-the-puller's-sorry-ass-abillity by binding a link. Shadowbind, like the name implies, binds the target. It never misses and always binds for it's maximum duration unless it's an NM. The only way Shadowbind "misses" is due to bind immunity or the target is already bound.

This is a godsent from Square-Enix after the notorious "ranger-nerf". Velocity Shot increases your Ranged attack and Ranged Attack Speed, much like Snapshot, but in exchange your (melee) Attack and Attack Speed is lowered as well. It's samiliar to berserk, but you can both now when you reach level 45.

Not as cool as it sounds, Unlimited Shot will prevent the next ammo consumption from a regular ranged attack or weapon skill. It is often used combined with Patriarch Protector's Arrow, or also known as PPA. But please be careful not to have that arrow equiped while utulizing an ability, it does not prevent arrow consumption like it does with weaponskills or regular shots.

Only two jobs have this job trait: Beastmasters and Rangers. Like the name implies, it scans the area for monsters and NPCs, making finding specific monsters or NPCs alot easier. Battlwise,however, it does nothing. You can access this by going to your map and select the "Wide Scan" option. You can also track monsters or NPCs, then an arrow will appear on your radar, indicating in which direction it is now.

As the name implies, this trait increases your accuracy. I can't think of anything to crack this down so I'll just end it here.

This is sort of the "haste" trait for Rangers, although the natural proc rate is rather low: ~5%. The description says it can make a ranged attack instantly fire, this is not completely true, it just greatly reduces (about 85% I guess) a ranged attack delay. Your TP gain for that shot remains the same however, allowing you to get a quick TP boost for that one hit while dealing the same damage.
