Ok, now last question for you... how do you prioritize the elements? which school(s) of magic will be the favourite(s)? And... do you play your ranger with geomancer or just marksman? Maybe scoundrel?
I made sure my 2nd main (mage) had earth and fire early, so he could oil then flare enemies. You fight a lot of undead in Cyceal. Another useful skill to have is Teleportation from the Aero school.
My ranger has scoundrel, since they started as a rogue, and marksman. She is the trap detector and scout, so she makes heavy use of Fast Track and Invisibility. Perhaps later I'll give her other magics, but right now she's fine.
Something else I'd like to point out is concerning grenades. They are very useful, but if you don't have the Pinpoint Talent, they will often times backfire in your face and land where you don't want them. To get Pinpoint, you need Scoundrel 1, so keep that in mind.
