Rangers in Arthos
"Have you ever been stalked by blink dogs for so long you started to loathe the silence? Have you ever been so cold your fingers ceased to form a fist? Of course not. Don't ever whinge to me about your long marches, commander. You sleep in a tent and shit in a pot.

Practice
Rangers are those few who shed the shackles of modernity in order to live on the frontiers of Arthos. They are, in a word, self-sufficient. Like fighters they train in the martial disciplines yet their approaches could not be more different. Rangers exist outside the reach of civilization, teaching themselves combat through the trials of constant isolation. They fight for survival and tend to interpret their opponents for the desperate, unpredictable, creatures of instinct they are. It's for that reason that fighting against a ranger can be unsettling. Where they lack in technique, they make up for in commitment of action.
Wild Spirit
Rangers may also teach themselves magic by channeling the heartbeat. Unlike druids, this power does not come naturally and must be learned through a prolonged reliance on instinct. Some rangers like to call this state the "wild spirit" and it can be used to great effect.
