[QUOTE="Greenfeuer, post: 6807969, member: 6775193"] Ello there! I am currently in the process of making a Spell-less Ranger, however! I am abit in doubt which of the following abilities I should take. I am playing as a ranged character, halfling and I plan to have favored enemy Trolls, Orcs, Goblins. Hope you guys could give me some advice on this :) Giant killer fits well for troll hunting, but if Relentless Harrier is so much superior as ranged, I may get that one instead :) And for the second defensive ability I thinking I am going with Escape the Horde.
