Well, 80 in two weeks May be possible ( my highest is 62 lol so I wouldn't know) but it Probably involves a lot of hours in those two weeks; like 8 - 10 Per Day? Esp once you get to SV lol.
You may want to ask him Why he recommends a Dex build, and how he does his fights in general (like what skills, etc). All I can add to my post above is that @ 62, I have something like 185/70/10/70 and with an Anc War Bow, my 10/20 Sharp Shot does as much dmg as my Auto attacks (which is Great considering, but with the cooldown, still means about 1 out of 5 arrows are Sharp with the rest being auto attacks). My Barbed is 1/20 lol.
he was playin three times a day in 1 1/2 hour periods, not insane, just extremely talented, he now has a 110+ druid, a 90+ druid, a 130+ rogue, a 80+ ranger, an 80+ warrior and a 110+ mage, in three words, he is amazing and a gr8 friend
My friend has made an alt as a ranger.
In like less than two weeks he's level 80. No elixirs. He also didn't use help from his char. It was completely new. All gear and money earned on that char.
It's insane. He says he loves playing the ranger class and he recommends me using a dex build, upping my dex from here on in.
I have
65 strength now.
55 Dex
20 Focus
40 Vit.
So upping dex...?
Also I agree with the Barbed shot damage being insufficient.
mihindu mihindu... he did but the ice quiv from his main XD and everything else, but that was all after he hit 70ish so yup, hes amazing

I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.
