I'm a returning player and curious what's the best race to choose for a Ranger? I'm a little out of touch with the workings of the game. Thanks in advance for the help!
Race really doesn't matter that much. Some races have more a scout leaning, and they have racials that are nice but by no means game breaking, such as abilities that provide an extra 25% poison triggers, 2% multi attack. If you really want to play a specific race there is no race that by not choosing it would really negatively affect your class choice.
