D&D (2024) Ranger 2024 is a bigger joke than Ranger 2014:

A biggest issue IMO. Is the lack of a Trapper subclass.

On that note, Snare is finally pickable, now that Rangers have more spell slots.

It's still not great, but...

 

[UngeheuerLich]

yes, no concentration HM broke the game completely,

we should call Conjure minor elementals twilight cleric or shield spell. someone is taking the throne here.

Bad faith argument.

 

[UngeheuerLich]

how a longer long rest solves anything?

8hrs or 8 months is completely the same.

it's about how you spend resources between the Long rest.

Figure it out yourself.

 

[UngeheuerLich]

It's the same as before, except Hail of Thorns, Lightning Arrow, Swift Quiver lost concentration requirement, because screw melee rangers I guess.

On a dual wielder, hunter's mark does good damage. At level 5 potentially +4d6 per turn. And it is worth noting, that aftet 3 atacks, the ranger can still use ensnaring strike and drop concentration on HM.

I'm showing swift quiver still requires concentration in my digital copy. Do we know if that's a bug?

No. Sadly not. But at least you can now cast swift quiver and immediately use it. And combined with conjure barrage on the following turns it might actually be a bit useful.

The list of ranger spells that lost concentration are

Barkskin
Hail of Thorns
Lightning Arrow
Magic Weapon

Barkskin is a concentrationless defense buff
Hail of Thorns is the Ranger's Smite
Magic Weapon is the concentrationless damage buff
Lightning Arrow is Ranger AOE.

 

[Dax Doomslayer]

Looking at the Ranger's list for spells without concentration there are:

Cure Wounds
Goodberry
Hail of thorns
Jump
Longstrider
Aid
Lesser Restoration
Magic Weapn
Protection vs. Poison
Conjure Barrage
Daylight
Dispel Magic
Lightning Arrow
Plant Growth
Revivify
Freedom of Movement
Conjure Volley
Steel Wind Strike

There are a lot of good non-concentration spells on this list for whatever that's worth.

Ah sorry, I did mean Magic Weapon, sorry. I forgot about it existing because its window of relevance is so tiny (if you don't have a magical weapon at lv5, you will shortly after), and was just continuing along the ranged favoritism trajectory of Hail of Thorns and Lightning Arrow.

You forgot a few good ones:

Alarm, (also a ritual)
cordon if arrows (a nice slot sink before long rests to make alarm even spicier).
