| − | The Ranger is the bow themed [[class]], starting with a bow, Wooden Pickaxe, shovel, and 128 arrows for starters. His powers mostly revolve around the arrows he fires; he can fire three arrows at once, launch an explosive arrow, launch an arrow that spawns a lightning bolt on impact, and fire an arrow that leaves a torch at impact, in addition to being able to climb "natural" blocks and jump large distances with Leap. Leap is subject to being replaced with "arrow ziplinin' tomfoolery." | + | ==Overview== |
| | + | The bow-wielding [[Class]] in Hack/Mine. Specializes in shooting things from a distance with arrows. |
| | + | Rangers are unique in that they have a passive ability to climb on natural blocks (such as dirt and stone) as if they were ladders. |
| | | | |
| − | Rangers are the most manueverable class, able to climb natural blocks, leap amongst the treetops, and barrage their opponents with magical arrows.

| − | When you are exploring the above world in search of dungeons and adventures, take this advice: a ranger should never touch the ground. Using the climbing skill and the leap ability, you should stick to trees, mountains, or anything else so long as you can fight monsters without getting touched. Although in non-forest terain the ranger can move about and be equally, if not more effective.

| − | Bows don't do much damage, so you want to be out of range of anything that poses a substantial threat. Rangers aren't well-suited for dungeon areas packed densely with creatures, since it takes time to load a bow, and with a lot of creatures attacking you all at once, it's often a good idea to always have a sword handy.

| − | Although the bow can do little damage, when you have higher dexterity (and it does more damage) you will also have plenty of armor which helps your resistance to mob damage. With high, if not PURE dex, a short bow charge is the most effective, as it does the same amount of damage. Using a short bow charge while above a mob will have the arrow hit them, deal full damage, and allow you to spam your shots. When using a pure Dex build, primarily dextirity gear with fortitude as a secondary item perk is recommended. Using spells isn't required for this build and it is recommended to complete towers quickly by using the 'Leap' ability. While in underground dungeons, carrying around dirt, sand, gravel, stone, or leaves is very useful and allows you quick access to flee a dangerous situation with scaling heights.

| − | As this mod completely defeats the need for food, anyone can use this to his advantage. By collecting lots of uncooked porkchops, beef and chicken from slain mobs, along with the LARGE amount of bones Skeletons will provide, this makes a very viable tactic to obtain a wolf (as early as possible to level it up (uncomfirmed)) As you cannot eat the meats yourself, you can keep the meat to heal your newly loved Wolf! And if you tame two, you can also have a little runt to tag along with you in your adventures in Minecraftia! A wolf's damage increases depending on the level of it, but its health stays at 20 no matter what - meaning your wolf can and will be killed very easily, unless it has the health glitch that allows it to get healed from being hurt without poison.

| − | The ranger best benefits from high levels of Dexterity and Intelligence, currently Dexterity is better as it adds ranged damage as well as critical strike chance and defense! This is very overpowered and hopefully the use of Agility for ranged damaged and Critical strike chance should even this out. No points should be currently put into Strength. Ever. Strength is unnecessary for switching to your sword to clear out slimes and large groups of enemies at close range because meleeing with any bow EXCEPT a shortbow will do the same damage as it does when ranging. Fortitude is not really required as you will currently gain a LOT of defense though dexterity, put points into this at your own discretion.

| − | Although you may at times need to kill mobs in close range, for a pure dex build, straight dexterity is recommended. Other stats will come along with gear, and a short bow charge is just as effective as a long one. This tactic is for those who strictly want to deal damage, don't mind the high stress enviroment of close range shooting, and can live with the fact that they may shoot or even kill themselves on occassion.

| − | For a pure dexterity build you only need to put all your points in to dexterity, carry a bow with high damage (and dexterity if it has it), and get gear with stats in the order of Dex > Int > Fort > Wis > Strength (Agility may be implemented later, but as of right now has no effect.)

| − | Besides the leap ability, the other ranger abilities are basically useless in medium and high level zones. The triple shot is very inaccurate. For a mob to be close enough to guarantee a hit, it has to be right in your face and will likely block the other 2 arrows because it becomes immune to damage for a moment after the first arrow hits. This has a chance at causing your own arrows to bounce back into you and do damage. The lightning arrow and explosive arrow are powerful at low levels, but their damage is not increased by stats on your gear. You would have to invest heavily in intelligence to get any improvement out of them. This leaves rangers without any area of effect damage at higher levels when enemies have thousands of health, which is made worse by the fact that bows are the slowest weapons and do not benefit from increased attack speed unless you melee with them. Rangers are decent for travelling, however warriors can and will go much faster by "supercharging" and leaping during the cooldown.
