Tree identity
The tree emphasizes deliberate shots and a steady relationship between movement, range and attack opportunities. Control tools still matter when the main goal is sustained damage.
In 3.3.5a this is a point tree, not the formal specialization system of later expansions. Points can be shared across the class's three trees.
