Preparation

Definition
Preparation: "A skill that enhances your attacks for the next few seconds."

Description
Preparations are skills unique to Rangers that enhance the ranger's attacks for a period of time though there are some exceptions. Like stances, only one preparation can be active at a time (activating a new preparation will remove the old one), and only affect the ranger using the skills. Preparations don't target, but do have an activation time and can be interrupted. One of the advantages to using preparations is that they cannot be removed by an enemy. The only way a preparation can be removed before it's time limit is if the user of the preparation is killed or if he/she uses Barrage.
