A Tankger is a ranger designed for grouping. The bow skill of this ranger is always at 25% of their level until the late 40’s (from autotraining). This provides the ranger the ability to do slight damage from afar, which is great for pulling without drawing aggro, as well as interrupting casters and archers in RvR. The melee skill of this ranger is a phenomenon to behold, especially when provided with buffs by group-mates. This ranger really shines in battles with his ability to sneak up to foes and deal quick death melee only. Most often this ranger circles around his casters and healers stealthily in a battle trying to draw attacks from enemy assassins, sneak up on enemy snipers or surprise attack any opponent deemed to close. He also makes excellent assassin bait, they will regret going after this build in melee. This template may also ignore stealth a bit to increase further it’s melee abilities. While in the solo arena a Tankger will always outdamage a Blademaster because of the self buffs, many argue that a true Blademaster can still out-damage the Tankger in a group atmosphere with the perfect setup (i.e. – Druid buffs/enchanter weap buff). But a ranger’s self damage add buff stacks with the enchanters, boosting his damage to equal, if not higher amounts than a Blademaster. This variant is much more versatile than a standard Blademaster because of the stealth, self-buffs, and an auto-trained bow with great range. Top 3 skills: Weapon, Pathfinding, and Celtic Dual.
It is the versatility that appeals to me. This is a popular template in the US but i was wondering if anyone had a chance to check it out.
