ITT: We talk about our favorite ranger builds. *Pffthahaha*

With the "buff" to spirits, I've somewhat reverted to my pre-2013 build, with a couple changes to it.

Highlights:
1.) Aims for high boon duration. Giver's armor/apothecary gear/etc. can be easily replaced with Cleric for even more team support for less solo effectiveness (but more power, so that's something to think about.)
2.) Not really a damage dealer in its own right despite 20 points in the Power trait line - it's more of a stall tactic. Can still barrage chokepoints to cause cripple.
3.) Has problems handling its own conditions aside from Healing Spring - attempts to use boons to compensate.
4.) Frost can be interchanged with Sun if you lack guardians for free burnings.
