Avowed has three distinct classes to choose from, and although you are not entirely limited to sticking to just one skill tree, it is still important to know the strengths and weaknesses of each available option so you can better optimize your build.
Abilities are split into passive and active ones, with each class having specific playstyles, offering mobility, defensive, and offensive options for players either wanting to go head-to-head with hordes of enemies or sneakily take out smaller groups of adversaries. With that being said, we will take a look at all of the Ranger abilities in Avowed.
