Message: <blockquote data-quote="ECMO3" data-source="post: 9389719" data-attributes="member: 7030563">Ranger is an awesome class but the class itself is disappointing if you want to play it like a Warrior who is awesome in combat, a Nature's guy or a pet guy.  A lot of people want this out of the ranger and the class is going to disappoint on these themes unless they patch it with a subclass (Gloomstalker as a warrior for example).Ranger as a caster class and to make it fun you need to dive into the spells IMO.  I play a lot of Rangers, but I max Wisdom instead of Dexerity or Strength and I focus on Wisdom-boosting feats that get me more spells.  In games with the first level origin feat I am taking Magic Initiate every time.  In play the character is mostly a caster that can fall back on extra attack instead of someone who is primarily building to attack in combat.  I would hate the Ranger if the class was "Hunters Mark and attack" because that is just not fun IMO.  I also typicallly don't have proficiency in either Nature or Survival and Nature in particular is usually aweful because I am usually dumping Intelligence. Fey Wanderer in particular is a great subclass to facilitate this playstyle and I have pretty much play this subclass exclusively now.</blockquote>
