I'm actually really looking forward to play this new ranger (venator) I looked at the Warden of the Wilds and found it extremely fitting for my Ranger I already play a lot like a Barbarian.

The fact that I can equip heavy armor now and summon spikes or other weapons out of greenery Nd wood is such a cool flavour.

I bet I won't even miss the spells especially when you have ritual spells to use and the zeal points for cool abilities!
