Ranger command training.

Command is a skill type available to rangers and paragons (warrior). Ranger command skills involve supportive and offensive pet interactions while the paragon issues direct orders that may bolster allies and undermine enemies alike. Commands issued by paragons also carry an Echo component that deliver a second effect after a set time or upon the use of a Burst skill.
