Marksmanship

• Farsighted — Ranger weapon skills deal increased strike damage. Damage is further increased for foes above the range threshold.
• Moment of Clarity — Gain an attack of opportunity for you and your pet on interrupting a foe. Daze and stun durations that you inflict last longer. This trait can only grant an attack of opportunity against enemies with defiance bars once per interval.
• Predator's Onslaught — You and your pet deal increased strike damage to disabled, defiant, or movement-impaired foes. Affected conditions are stun, taunt, daze, cripple, fear, immobilize, and chilled.

Skirmishing

• Quick Draw — When swapping weapons, the next ranger weapon skill you use will recharge faster.
• Light on your Feet — Damage and condition duration are increased after dodging or using Quick Shot. Short bow skills pierce and gain recharge reduction, and their attacks from behind or while flanking or against defiant foes are improved.

Beastmastery

• Two-Handed Training — Greatsword and underwater spear skills deal more damage and recharge faster. Gain fury when you disable a foe.

Druid

• Blood Moon — Daze enemies when you become a celestial avatar. Inflict bleeding on enemies you immobilize or disable.

Soulbeast

• Twice as Vicious — Disabling a foe increases your damage and condition damage for a short duration.

Untamed

• Debilitating Blows — Disabling a foe applies conditions to that foe based on your current state. Disables include stun, daze, knockback, pull, knockdown, sink, float, launch, taunt, and fear.
• Enhancing Impact — Disabling a foe grants you boons based on your current state. Disables include stun, daze, knockback, pull, knockdown, sink, float, launch, taunt, and fear.

Notes

Bug:

The displayed value for Defiance Break sums the mutually exclusive daze and stun values to 400 rather than displaying 200.
