Rip out the level 1 feature, no more free preparation, no more free castings. What is likely to happen? Ranger players will prepare and cast Hunter's Mark, like they already do on every single ranger I have played with or DM'd for for the last decade. Replace it with a concentration free ability to do a 1d4 damage on an enemy you choose within range? Then the players will combine it with Hunter's Mark. Which, frankly, dealing 4d6+2d4+6 damage at level 2 would be insanity. All WoTC is doing is recognizing how people already play the class. They took out the abilities that rarely were used, and gave us a way to more easily do the things we wanted to do.</blockquote>
