Job Idea: Ranger (DPS)

[Kazrah]

This is definitely one of the more interesting approaches to a concept for Ranger that I've seen, especially when they usually tend to look more like "archer: the job".

Camouflaged Escape seems more like it should be for Hatchet rather than Crossbow though. In fact, it almost feels like it'd make more sense to set up a stance-like system for the two weapon types, with Swarming Strike and Camouflaged Escape being the means of switching between them.

Originally, Camouflaged Escape and Swarming Strike were going to be pet spells but changed them thinking that the job could use more abilities that don't require their pet (even though it would be extremely watered down).
My thought with Camouflaged Escape is that your crossbow will propel you backwards while your pet lunges forward then jumps back with you.
I had thought of trying a Weapon Switch Mechanic when I first started designing the job concept but thought it might be too complicated and instead wanted to focus on weaving your oGCD crossbow and pet's abilities with your GCD Hatchet skills.
