Basically yes rangers can solo. We cannot do it anywhere near as fast as others can however. Since update we have been wrecked.
That said, you want your vit to be double your level. I would say get 300-350 dex without bonuses. Then with the rest of your points start adding strength. I wouldn't bother with focus if you can help it, but unless you have good regen it may be necessary to put some points in it.
I would max sharp shot, light heal for sure. The other skills that can be good depend on your play style and what is available to you. Sharpen, defensive spikes, steady aim, bolas, Rapidshot (can be a good skill but due to update must be maxed or it sucks). If you use h2h weapons entangled can also be a good skill.
Let me know if you have further questions about weapons, armor, etc.
