Preparation

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

Preparations are skills unique to Rangers that generally 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 ways a preparation can be removed before its time limit are if the user is killed, uses another preparation, or uses Barrage or Volley.
