bolas: 13/20

barbed shot: 12/20
Max: light heal, Bolas, and sharp shot.
Kill and do not put points in: Rapidshot, Barbed shot.

Reasons:
Maxing light heal is always a great Idea no matter your build. As long as your a ranger you would be advised to keep it maxed and maybe go even further and get some rings as well. Bolas is a good idea as it sounds like your more of a run then shoot type than a dodge fighting style, also bolas is beneficial to have in some cases overall. Sharp shot because it is a good skill that gives a nice bit of damage. That said if you are strength based it will equal or almost equal one of your autos, it totally depends on your build, because with a dex build you got a good shot at sharp not only being better damage but being twice or more damage than an auto.

Killing rapid is a really good thing to do. 1) it works the same (actually even more efficient) at level 1 than when you have 13 points in it. You will have a shorter duration but this will not only result in a shorter cool down but also take care of that energy problem you mentioned. Barbed is pretty much broken. I am a dex built ranger, and when I used to have the same or maybe more points in barbed it did/does the same amount of damage that it used to before I killed it. Which like rapid means less energy being used. :D

I would also suggest getting a ring of energization (+5 energy per tick) as it will help immensely. If you buy from a player your probably looking at 15-20k price range.

.
You probably already know this but dex increases the damage over time that procs from barbed shot. Barbed shot will generally do the same amount as your autos. Sometimes the initial hit will be evaded but the proc will go off which results in the low numbers. Also like other skills, the proc wont stack with higher lvl barbed shots thats already on a mob. It'll say that barbed shot was resisted or something along those lines, but the initial hit will still go off.

The reason I say barbed is pretty much broken is already given above. As a matter of fact it is mostly doing better now than it ever was. :lol: And I have 0 points in it.
