Lay off the negative waves man... It's going to be just fine. I see a beautiful unnerfed Hollow Warden on the other side. After rereading it last night one thing I noted is that it is the only Ranger subclass without a clear damage upgrade in tier 1. It clearly needs to have a d6 or d4 to add once a turn or something.
I think, between the Return to Life element of the Circle of Mortality and the fact that you get Wrathful Smite more than make up for the small damage bump other subclasses get.
Honestly, I think the Hollow Warden is a bit of a mess, and I said so in the feedback period. It's crazy MAD - you need high Wisdom for the AC and CON bump, both of which go away if you can't maintain concentration on Hunter's Mark, and you're basically forced to cast Hunter's Mark as your only concentration spell in a class that leans on concentration spells. And the capstone ability... functional death immunity is cool AF, but the immunity to exhaustion? On a class that is riddled with exhaustion cures? Basically makes the class features and spells that counteract exhaustion redundant.

Just you wait
June is not far away
Is there some internal hatred for Rangers at WotC?
