I haven't been into OC much in recent days as the pathetic drop-rate of the Atma has completely soured it for me.

However, I will say that I actually found Shadow Ranger quite useful. I was generally playing through OC as Sage, which means I die easily if/when I get hit. However, this S-Ranger ability proved pretty useful for quickly escaping attacks:

Certainly found it more effective than 'Icarus', which requires a selected target to 'dash' to.
