Just wondering what stats and skills are good for a lvl 81 ranger my stats are 200 strength,200 dex,10 focus,15 vit
I have 500 health and kill eyes quickly but I get killed by 3 stars and 4 stars a lot like in 2 hits
My skills are I maxed sharp shot,bolas,light heal,rapid shot and got 4 points in conceal so I'm just wondering if I should change my stats and skills or not
Thank you :)

Im no pro, but I have experience in every class, as my main is now ranger.

If you rely on auto attacks, I recommend high strength, and usually i see more vit than dex. Useful skills for this is rapid shot, perhaps bolas for soloing or small group bossing, ignore steady aim as it is dex based, ignore sharp shot because it wont do much more damage than your auto attacks, same with barbed. Rest is pretty much up to you, try to avoid mainly dex based skills(of course a lot of people use light heal, I do too). The amount of dex is up to you.

I have not experimented with a dex based ranger, though i'd stay low on strength. Put your dex up pretty high, and more focus too. Max sharp shot and barbed, steady aim, and light heal(optional), bolas also optional(non-dex based).I have no experience with entangle and defensive spikes, but if you use bolas I wouldn't bother with spikes, if you like it then boost your vit a lot(like 1000+ or so) and go on and tank that thing! Entangle is probably more of a strength thing(if its level sensitive to upgrades then yes) so I'd stay away from that.

Last but not least, balanced ranger. You can use a mix of skills, and get an interesting combo. I had another ranger who had pretty much same strength and dex. With bolas and light heal I could stay alive, while dishing out with rapid shot, sharp, steady, or barbed. I had lower vit than you usually would have and higher focus. Though this is a useful type theres a wide selection of skills which I find hard to choose from.

Personally I have about twice as much strength as dex, more vit than dex, and about half as much focus as vit. I use rapid, steady(shouldn't have :oops: gonna use book of alt some time), bolas, and light heal(couldnt resist ;) ). When I get defensive spikes im getting rid of steady(its dex based).


Hope this helped, feel free to correct me on anything as a noob ranger! :mrgreen:

Well im a lvl 83ranger I have 200str 110dex 100vit and 40focus and could probably have 10 focus because my armour adds focus but it can all depend on if you have good armour good weapon or if you have regens and because i have regens i dont really need to add much more vit and focus and if your a dps ranger like i am i prefer to add str over vit because if you have a maxed bolas most of the time you wont need vit.

But along the lines of skills I use light heal just because not using it just a waste its awesome everyclass would wish they had this so use it as much as possioble :D :D
I also have maxed my rapid shot because i dont have heroic gloves let and it helps kill things like eyes quick and when i worked on druids.
I use sharp shot even though it can be a waste some times but other times it has done double my normal shot but this is more your choice.
Bolas well you have to use its also handy in boss fights like rocka and domi exspecially if their is only one druid to give the tank a bit of time
Barbed shot dont really use never really liked totally up to you.
Steady aim never really used but again up to you
The rest dont really use mainly light sharp rapid and bolas
