Hey i love my ranger have stoped playing my rouge but idk what skills should i use i am a dex based ranger my ss if sometimes higher than my auto with only 30/41 str and 105/106 dex and is barbed shot worth the points?
Thnx for the help whoever posts
My stats r around this

30/41 str
105/106 dex
30/31 focus
65/66 vit

These r not exact but r close to what i have (str in right on the money)

Don't put points in barbed shot.

I think you need more dex on a ranger than 75. Dexterity helps skills like light heal and sharp. Rapid does not need to be maxed. The more you upgrade it, the more it sucks your energy and the longer reload the skill is. I hope people benefit from my information. Good luck rangers!

Skills i use:
Light heal- maxed
Sharp shot-maxed
Steady aim-maxed
Bolas-maxed
Rapid-skill points left over

Stats:
Strength-325
Dexterity-240(320 with quiver)
Focus-10
Vitality-200

To be honest i got babrbed on 26/30 and it hit once a normal shot but then it het three times in the 100> seriously it is not that useless as people think it is. even barbed at 1 is cool the first shot is not based on the skill points. and again for ur build just look at ur skills stats and ull understand. Tbh a thing like strenght- ranger build is bs coz why would u use strenght if ur main skills are dex skills? really weird peeps think about something as strenght build lol.

There are certain times you need a strength build even as a ranger. One is when you have a druid to heal you and you dont need to bolas or heal. This is when you just auto. Another time is when you are in a world of ks. People have to compete to level and kill bosses.

From my point of view do not put anything in barbed, itll work just fine if your a dex build at 1. Thanks Emilus for explaining why Farsights barbed shot is so OP.

I disagree with auto outdpsing a dex build. I take aggro all the time, especially when training. I dont even have 100 strength yet and I normally get kill in a training group unless we are facing mobs over 10-15 levels or higher. My ss is a great aggro taker as well, works just fine to keep mobs from anyone leveling with me be they druid, mage, warrior, etc. 1 ss does the trick, sometimes some autos if the person is retaliating heavily (like a mage who managed to get off 3 fire balls and a couple ice shards). Otherwise I get aggro and I normally get kill.

@ellion Dex makes u hit more But again why in hell would a "strenght build" outdps a dex build if the dex builder use properly hes skills sucha ss and barbed. tbh as ranger i do not need often a druid to heal me thats what i like about a ranger: keep bolasing the boss and heal urself and ss and bolas agaian barbed ss etc... Thats the fun thing about a ranger i didnt choose this class to be healed. im not a tank.

I think best overall dps for a ranger is a balanced build but depending on certain factors str build certainly offers heavy dps . Dex build rangers are more versatile is all . Say for instance a ranger is working with a rogue , with a high smoke bomb the benefits of dex is greatly lowered for ranger , str build will win out on dps every time with smoke bomb up .

With no outside support, being Mage / Druid / rogue , I think balance wins almost every time . I'm talking about 150 gameplay here not for leveling up or still building your character .

I use a balanced build as well and im not 150 but 141 and the build is still great
I use
300 str
225(300 with quiver) dex
10 foc
195 vit
