Ranger


This ability provides you the chance of instantly killing an opponent (humanoid only) who is too far below you in level to provide a challenge, when using a bow. Additional ranks increase the maximum level of humanoid that can be affected by your headshot by 2 levels per rank.

Headshot is a passive AA ability that only Rangers can purchase. It provides a chance that any Archery based attack on a lower-level humanoid mob can hit for extremely high damage, often a one-shot kill. The damage is treated as physical damage and cannot be mitigated or resisted. It works with both regular Archery and any spells that use an "Archery Skill Attack" (like the "Hail/Arc/Barrage of Arrows" directional AE spell line), as well as thrown weapons. This information is current up to the House of Thule expansion:
