Hey does anyone know a good ranger guide? Could not find one so far for 4.6

I don't think there's a single definitive ranger guide for version 4.6 covering every crucial detail, although plenty of guides from 4.0-4.5 exist. Since 4.6 didn't bring any groundbreaking balance or gameplay shifts for Rangers beyond 4.5, I figure those guides are still quite relevant and applicable for this patch.
I'll share some guides here, but you should always check which patch each guide pertains to, as many changes occurred between 4.0 and 4.5. However, some of the fundamentals are more clearly explained in older guides:
The oldest guide with still useful insights, including a general description of ranger roles and jumpshot techniques; just ignore the stats, skills, and builds since they are woefully outdated: https://www.almarsguides.com/aion/gettingstarted/classes/ranger.cfm
4.0 Guides: decent for basics but remember that stat needs and skills evolved significantly by 4.5 :

The only guide I know after 4.5 promotes an unconventional playstyle which might feel overwhelming if you're just picking up Ranger (it's challenging even for seasoned players, I reckon). Still, it offers valuable perspectives:

I've thought about integrating some elements from these guides to craft an authentic 4.6 guide. However, I'd rather collaborate, focusing too intently on PvE recently and not feeling equipped to delve deeply into endgame PvP yet. Others on the server could likely provide more insightful contributions.
Guides for 4.7 would also largely apply to this patch, though anything 4.8 onwards might not, since the stigma system saw changes and further class rebalancing occurred.
Hope that helps! If you're playing Elyos and have more queries, shoot me a mail in-game! My name's unchanged.
