They do boost damage, but both are based off of dexterity and dont add a large amount anyway.Wouldnt steady aim or sharpen weaps also be effective considering as they boost your auto dmgs?No, don't get rid of light heal. It's still much faster and better than bandage wounds. Just keep 100 dex to make it semi effective. Longshot is based off your dex and auto attack, so it still works with a strength ranger. Here's my recommendation:if u rely on a str build, dont waste points in light heal, because its a dex based skill and the heal won't be as good as in a dex build. If Str Build, then max Double SHOT (be careful: not double attack, because this is for Spear/Knuts Melee Ranger), Rapidshot, Steady Aim, Sharpen Weapon, Bolas. Maybe some points also in Entangle first, then in Defensive Spikes.
Some rangers say, that their Longshot works also fine with their Str Build. But never tested it.
It also depends on how u are leveling: Solo? In a Group? With your Clan? If you level always solo, then go for a dex build, since you will just need the high Heal potential of a Ranger.
Hope this helps.
Double Attack: works on mobs 10 lvls higher than yourself (or more depending on what youre training on)
Rapid Shot: Maxed or near maxed
Light heal: Maxed
Bolas: Maxed or 10 levels higher, good for bosses
Longshot: Leftover points, does decent damage with only a few skill points
