Wow isnt PL, and vise versa so yes you're a new player or "noob"

I checked ranger class discussion and no luck, seems like no ones gotten around to writing a guide yet. However, Whisperwalk has put a Rhino guide up, its in the Paladin class discussion. His guide covers all the basics, and though it does tend to be a little "my way or the highway" at times, it'll explain all the core elements of the class.

Also, you'll want to take this threads advice with a grain of salt. The OP is pretty old, and endgame mechanics have changed quite a bit over the years. Birds are a lot tougher, and pure-str bears have gotten a little weaker.

Birds are tougher, they just do a lot more damage.

Pure str bears are still strongest but hit% is so crappy that cant hit like anything. (in pvp debuffed hit of pure str bear is around 25-35)
Endgame mages are weaker

True...

(Before as you progress, I copied some of the text)
Rhinos

Your job is to "tank" and support. All that STR you're pumping up? Well, it’s not really for damage (yes, it helps, but that's not your main job) -- it's to increase your hit points and armor so you can take more damage. You go in first, and get the attention of the enemies using Summon. Make them attack you. Use Heal and Buffs (Vital Force and Brute Force) when you are near your teammates, as often as possible. These skills restore your teammate’s HP and give you a lot of H/s, boost your team’s offensive stats, and boost your team’s defensive stats.

Get the best armor rating, M/s regen, and H/s regen rates you can. Yes, a two-handed sword looks cool and does more damage, but in a group, that's not your job. A shield will serve you better and some of the 1-handed weapons have nice effects that can help offset their lower damage.


Foxes

Ok, see everything above about Rhinos? Do the opposite. You want to hang back, using long-range attacks, focusing on the enemy causing the biggest problem. Occasionally, when the mob is targeting someone else, use Vixen Kick or Rabit Bite to get close and deal some damage. Only birds are better than you at dealing damage to a single target, and your presence will help greatly in boss fights.

But beware, you're squishy. Standing toe to toe with an enemy or a Boss is pretty dangerous, so make sure you back enough potions, healers, and Evasion(Your defensive buff that boosts dodge and armor)

Your move Hypnotize can be used to "pull" single targets toward the group, allowing the team to split up encounters into more manageable chunks. Once you've pulled, though, stop firing until the tank draws enough hate to keep you from being turned into a chicken nugget snack.






(After As You Progress)





Rhinos

When you are running low on health, and heal is on cool down, you can use Charge followed by Redemption. This Combo heals your HP 2x the damage you deal, and also boosts your damage by a bit. When fighting enemies, use Summon a lot so they won’t dodge. Your teammates can easily finish them off after. When you see a teammate in need, use Holy Tempest to push enemies away. Also, use Rhino Might to stun enemies, so they won’t be able to harm your team’s delicate Fox or Birds. When all else fails, you can always rev your teammates so they can get back in the action! Don’t forget to use Stone Skin, Vital Force, Guardian, and Brute Force to make yourself more powerful!


Foxes
Your damage might be slightly less than a bird, but your tactical skills make you very important to the group. When fighting, you should try to use Rage Tonic and Fury as much as possible. Rage Tonic boosts your damage and critical by a lot, while Fury increase your hit% so you never miss. Evasion is good for evading enemy attacks, so once in a while you can fight them hand to hand! Poison Dart slows down an enemy so you or a teammate can escape. Fox Howl deals good damage, but also reduces the enemy’s damage! Hamstring and Armor Shredder is crucial to boss fights. Hamstring makes them dodge a lot less while Armor Shredder obviously reduces their armor. Your group can then finish the boss off much faster. And don’t forget, Rabit Bite + Hamstring = Combo!

Nice knowledgeable post storm thanks a lot.

[Bobface11]

Thank you! I'm a lvl 16 enchantress who doesn't know how to use it until now. I now have lightning almost maxed.

[Exol]

Thanks for this guide.

not really sure why the fox is to hang back
keeping a 8m range even eliminates using 5 of their 8 attack skills, or just 4 if you use hypnotize at farther range, which few starters will have figured out
I would recommend adding on some str and jumping into a mob
