You don't have to make a Dex ranger.

Dex helps you hit more often (increases Attack) and reduces the number of hits on you. Also increases skill power eg light heal.

Str increases dmg on your regular hits.

I think many (most?) rangers use an alt book or two (or 10) as they level to try out more Str versus Dex.

At lower levels i think Str is better (2 to 1 Str/Dex ratio) because you probably won't have regen and skills use Focus and its simpler to leave that low. But many would disagree.

If you go Dex build you may survive better in solo play (heal), so your play style is a factor too. If you solo your Vit probably should equal your Dex.

If you like to group you can afford to lower Vit and some Dex and pump it all into Str.

Just my opinion and this would change if you have regen and as you get higher. As you approach 300 points in a stat each point invested (in Str OR Dex) is less effective so it makes sense to become more balanced on Str/Dex.

DEX ALL THE WAY!

DEX IS ALWAYS THE BEST!

DEX does this:

increases attack (chance to hit)
Increases defence (chance to avoid dmg)
Increases all Ranger Skills' effectiveness (Sharp shot, Barbed shot, Steady aim, Defensive spikes, Light heal, etc.)

STR does this:

Increases attack (chance to hit)
Increases dmg (more dmg to opponents while auto attacking)

-Those are the values of each. Id go either dex or balanced myself.
