    No idea, but it should come. In the IGN wiki for Neverwinter, Ranger is already added as one of the classes lol. It was a while ago though xD

    Ranger - Neverwinter Wiki Guide - IGN

    Guess we'll have to wait. It will come when it comes, although that could be in a year or two, but hopefully faster :p

    It was first confirmed in the works here:

    Possible hints at Archer class in the latest video of Greatweapon Fighter - Page 2

    Other evidence was the game files found suggesting a ranger and warlock class are coming. Beyond that a few little things like Devs mentioning a "ranged" class... note ranged not specifically ranger but it seems Cryptic really hasn't said anything about Rangers since the initial "in the works" post. Players have kept the discussion around the net going but it seems to always be based off the game files or that original post.

    Basically as far as I can tell Cryptic hasn't said anything beyond "is in the works" any information about it "coming soon" is likely added by players spreading the word and not actual fact.

    I can't wait for a ranger class but at this rate it might be too late by the time it's added.

    Was hoping that module would bring in the Ranger, but that did not happen unfortunately. Yea, I think they are missing the boat by waiting on this class too long.

    Personal love Ranger/Archer class, why do not have no clue! If and or when add class would probably play more! Personal note would make game more injoy able considering many asking same Question why no Ranged class!

    Welt Cryptic decided to announce the Ranger but it appears they sold out temporary exclusivity or something and none of this info is on their site yet, so here is a source from a non-gaming site:

    Neverwinter Will Introduce Hunter Ranger Class in New Shadowmantle Update

    Also a video released with it floating around however Neverwinter didn't post it to it's youtube channel yet.

    The jist of it is, Shadowmantle is the next big expansion. It will be out before the end of the year and include a new class and new Paragon paths, along with a number of changes to core mechanics. The class has been announced as the "Hunter Ranger", it's a combination of melee and ranged... apparently it's intended for experienced players.

    They also announced they are about %40-60 done on another class after the Hunter Ranger and dropped a hint Druid will probably be 3rd in line after Hunter Ranger, *blank*.

    Oh, great news :) I've been looking forward to the ranger class but actually this creates another problem for me. Which character should I delete for it? xD

    Somehow, I think it reminds of a rogue. At least where he was fighting them in close combat. Or some combination between a rogue and GWF.
    Not like it will matter that much for me anyways, since I would probably range most of the time xD

    Looks like bow for ranged skills and dual daggers for melee skills, although in the announcement it say "get up close with his/her blades".. so I'd assume other types of weapons might be in, probably whatever the rogue uses. Says player can switch between the two on the fly.

    It sounds like they are going the stealthy quick route so I'd assume no swords. They said more details will come in a future blog post. That should clear everything up.

    idk thus far I'm not crazy excited, I'd rather a more pure Ranger/Archer but it's better than nothing.
