Leveling build help?

Hello ranger community. I have been leveling a lot lately, but my current build wasn't really doing it for me. I changed to my own version of a leveling build by dropping bolas and adding in longshot. It still isn't very satisfactory, and that is why I came here. Pictures of my stats below, and my gear is:
Full Lunar/ Full lunar except hero gloves
Hero ammy
+4 and +5 crush bracelets
Lunar bow
30 magic damage charm
+3 longshot ring
+1 LH ring
+4 sharpen ring
+75 bow ability ring
Golden quiver of fire
Level 115

Longshot is 28/25
Double is 25/25
Rapid is 1/25
Lh is 26/25
Sharpen is 28/25
And Steady Aim is 25/25
That's all, thanks for any help!

What i would do is take down sharpen and steady aim, put those points into sharp shot and bolas. I land a lot of 1k hits with sharp shot. Bolas will be good for the 3*+ as u get higher because they get harder. But if u like sharpen weapons and steady aim, dont change em

Hope this helped :D

Thanks for the advice, but sharp shot seems to be evaded a lot more than longshot and double (which never is evaded), and I have been told that bolas isn't totally necessary for leveling. I would be interested in hearing any stat advice.

Sharp shot is better than double shot. Even though it can never be a evaded, it dosnt do nearly as much dmg as sharp shot. Sharp shot isnt evaded that much for me. But do what u wanna do with yur skills:)

I disagree. I would not drop steady and sharpen. I would drop longshot and replace that with sharpshot. Longshot is a good dmg skill, but the thing is that it has a distance req that i hate. Also, bolas sucks alot of energy and i hate running in the middle of lixs because it wastes time. What I suggest you do is this:

Stats:
Str:100
Dex:Rest
Foc:10
Vit: 200

I run this build and I am relatively happy with it. I plan on removing the 100 str I have and placing it into my dex so that I will have approximately 500 dex. If you want to switch over to dex, it will definitely benefit you. Dex allows you to boost every skill except doubleshot because it is dmg skill. For example, I am a lower level than you and my light heal is 450 which is pretty decent for someone my level. Also, during pvp it is useful to have that dex because you can avoid shots. For example, I pvped someone the same level as me and he was a dps, but the thing was that none of his shots were able to hit me.

Skills:
SharpShot: Max
Light Heal: Max
DoubleShot: Up to levels you need
Sharpen:Try to Max this
Steady: Max

I use sharpshot because I have a high dex and my dmg for sharpshot is 600 dmg which is relatively good dmg.

Gear:
Try to get a haste ring instead of those gloves. The gloves break your set bonus of the lunar armor and lunar armor rewards you with 200 health and 200 energy. Also, you should get rid of those rings you have like the +1 and etc. Those are not useful because it is only +1. Replace with haste ring and regen ring and one ring of your choice. Try to replace the golden quiver with lvl 100 lux quiver. Also try to replace +4 and +5 crush bracelets and replace with regen bracelets.

Candy, thanks for your post. I have a +3 sharpshot ring, and even when 28/25 ON DUMMIES it usually hits below my auto. I am saving for a haste ring, though :).

With this build I can probably guarantee he misses alot. In pvp and bossfights, dex rangers tend to last longer than str rangers because they are able to avoid the boss's attacks. Plus, his str is nerfed because once you hit 300 it starts to plateau and every point you stick in strength will not add as much damage as before.

You welcome :D. Also take in to consideration about what I said about dex. I have 400 dex and hit at 600 dmg. It is because you have a much lower dex than me is why you hit lower. I find sharpshot great because it is instant cast and for me it does a relatively good amount of damage. Yes, the haste ring is crucial for a ranger. I already have the money for it, but no one on my world is selling :(
