Shivering Marksman
This build is designed to produce constant interruption by combining Marksman's Wager with Spinal Shivers. It also utilizes the synergy between Tiger's Fury, Focused Shot, and Mark of Pain to produce relatively high DPS.

Equipment

 * Druid's Armor
 * An Icy Recurve Bow
 * A Secondary, Non-Icy Bow for Mark of Pain

Usage

 * Cast Favorable Winds
 * Cast Marksman's Wager
 * Choose a target
 * Cast Spinal Shivers followed by Mark of Pain and Reapply these as necessary
 * Mark of Pain can also be cast on a different target to aid your party
 * Cast Tiger's Fury and reapply as necessary
 * Spam Focused Shot on the target
 * Note that if your attacks are being Blocked, Evaded, etc., your energy will be rapidly drained by Marksman's Wager
 * Use Throw Dirt as necessary

Counters

 * Blind
 * General Anti-Melee
 * Rapid Hex Removal

Variations

 * Consider Replacing Mark of Pain with Barbs for more concentrated damage as well as a more effective cover hex due to the low recharge.
 * Consider Antidote Signet if blind is a problem
 * Consider Rigor Mortis if blocking is a common issue
 * Consider Parasitic Bond for an even more effective cover hex

Impurity Farmer
This farming build relies on Ranger evasion stances while spreading conditions to enemies and healing yourself for each enemy under a condition.

Attributes and Skills

 * Optional slot can be filled with an additional attack skill such as Eremite's Attack or Troll Unguent for extra defense.
 * Other good choices are Veil of Thorns or Aura of Thorns as they will ensure all enemies are always suffering from a condition. This is a must for this build as Reap Impurities is your main healing skill.

Equipment

 * Radiant or Sentry armor
 * Any Scythe will do the trick, best is Zealous, but if you cannot afford, take any max damage Scythe or Pre-Order one. Suli's Scythe is a good choice.

Usage

 * 1) Put on Apply Poison.
 * 2) Run in and aggro a mob.
 * 3) Pull back a bit so they all bunch up infront of you.
 * 4) Hit one of your stance, then swing your scythe once.
 * 5) Upon the 1st hit, use Reap Impurities followed by Victorious Sweep.
 * 6) When your stance ends, use another one.
 * 7) When the attacks recharge, use them immediately.
 * 8) Rinse and repeat.

Counters
Monsters using attacks that knock down, that can't be blocked or that knock down if blocked (such as Irresistible Blow), anti-melee hexes like Spiteful Spirit or Insidious Parasite, anti-melee conditions (Weakness, Blind and heavy degeneration).

Variants
For low-level monster farming, like Ettin or Totem Axe, use Reaper's Sweep and instead of Escape use Dodge/Zojun's Haste, so for more self-defense, put in Troll Unguent.
