What are they doing with rangers in deadfire?

I would love for my ranger to be more melee capable than it currently is. In my mind rangers are adept at melee and ranged combat they just don't wear heavy armor. In essence they're not made for long drawn out fights.

agree. I like playing POE1 melee ranger and they have added a stalker sub class that seems to be more melee focuses. Hopefully the ability revamps allow for some melee flexibility as well.

Josh actually stated that the sharpshooter is closest to PoE1 ranger and that base ranger will actually have some melee capability without subclass-ing.
