Greater Twinsoul Necklace
Greater Charstone Ring
Signet of Lir
**have +5 ring Longshot, +3 ring Longshot, +2 ring Explosive Arrow, +1 ring Explosive Arrow (keeping these rings available to sell currently, not opposed to binding them, like to be sure they'll go to good use if I choose to use.

Skills:
Sharp Shot - 20/20
Steady Aim - 10/20
Bolas - 8/20
Light Heal - 20/20
Defensive Spikes - 15/20
**4 unspent points currently
**consider other unlisted skills at 1/20
**don't have Explosive Arrows, Double Shot or the skills that drop from 73+ level mobs

10 Energy Sigils on this character currently.

Access to Alteration (x3) and Rebirth currently.

Saving money for Heroic Gloves of Haste. Although I have made a number of platinum purchases they are mainly for Bank/Backpack Expansion and extra Hotkeys, so platinum purchases are kept to a minimum.

With my play style, I would say 60% of my damage comes from auto-attack. I rarely/infrequently group but like to keep my options open if such an occasion may happen. I tend to heal this character during a fight(s) and only use Defensive Spikes/Steady Aim on 4+ star mobs. I keep a constant supply of Refreshing Spring Water/Blackchalk handy for difficult mobs or when grouping.

Here is my plan:

• Thinking of Rebirthing, then putting 1 point into STR, 2 points into DEX/VIT per level until VIT reaches 150.
  Unsure after I reach 150 VIT.
  Spend skill points to max in this order - Sharp Shot, Longshot (would use +5 ring for a 25/20 rating) and Light Heal.
  Unsure where to spend the rest of my skill points.

Asking the community for suggestions, thank you.

Bolas - 8/20

BOLAS ONLY 8! WTF AND U ONLY SOLO MOSTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! bolas is a must need for soloing even tho its sucks energy out of u. light heal,longshot,sharp,bolas would be wat i recommend. and skills keep high dex and high vit. str should be medium to have some good autos and some focus if u dont have energy regens

even tho its sucks energy out of u.

With Bolas at 8/20, 16 energy per cast is 13.3333% of my energy pool. I've seen many times when a mob evades even an auto-attack let alone Sharp Shot or Longshot. I'd rather save that energy towards a Light Heal which has a higher probability of success than the probability of hitting a mob. At least from my experience while playing this game.

Granted, if I could get my hands on a +5 ring of Bolas (or greater if there is such a thing), then my position may change.

Sorry but have you read the in game description of bolas? lvl 8 will not bola any mobs around your lvl so waste of points. Either max or drop is my suggestion. Max so you have same level as other rangers for boss fights but thats another story.

Also the higher the level of bolas the slower the mob will walk.

Also the higher the level of bolas the slower the mob will walk.

In update 2 it was like that.

And still is.. Biggest reason to raise bolas even higher
