Marksmanship

• Farsighted — Ranger weapon skills deal increased strike damage. Damage is further increased for foes above the range threshold.
• Lead the Wind — Your longbow and harpoon-gun skills pierce and recharge faster. Striking foes beyond the range threshold grants boons.

Skirmishing

• Quick Draw — When swapping weapons, the next ranger weapon skill you use will recharge faster.

Nature Magic

• Bountiful Hunter — You deal increased strike damage for each boon affecting you. Your pet deals increased strike damage for each boon affecting it.
• Fortifying Bond — When you gain a boon, it is shared with your pet.

Notes

• The projectile flies in a small arc and can actually hit targets outside of the maximum range.
• If an enemy reflects the arrow, they're granted stealth instead.
• Stealth is not granted unless the arrow successfully strikes a foe or destructible object.
• While in beastmode, grants swiftness to the player.
• Though not stated in description, this skill is not truly instant and has small activation time.
