You forget to take into account that all armor and most jewlery gives a vit boost. Plus rangers have bolas so they won't need to take alot of hits from mobs. Also no lvl 150 or whatever lvl you are will be taking on mordis so you don't need to worry about that. Also, if you are in a group you should have a tank that takes the hit. You are also forgeting we have a quick heal that is quite effective. Many things are wrong with your arguments.

However, not all rangers use bolas. Especially in cramped boggan rooms where bolas is hard to cast. Many high level players drop bolas and revert to different builds like me. I dropped bolas because it misses occasionally and also sucks your energy. Thus, the extra vit is necessary to keep you alive.

I'm level 180 and have been through all the rooms and I have never had an energy problem or issues with bolas.

Yes, most armour do give vit, but mostly more warrior armour. Ranger armour mostly gives dex, bc rangers r dex based class. And as Candie said before, most rangers don't use bolas, so they will need more vit. Right now at lvl 102, i am using bolas bc my vit is around 210-230, so i die to much with out it. So bolas is a useful skill, but it also uses alot of energy.

Agree with double vit philosophy but i solo a lot and need to last more than a couple hits. I could not solo the 160-180 phs without the higher vit.

THUS, a majority of people follow the double vit rule.. I quit using bolas because it is annoying to cast and then run away. It wastes my time in lix and not only that but sometimes bolas misses which sucks and leaves me open to major damage.

My ranger is only level 116, but I am obsessed with finding the perfect build and literally go through about 10 alts a week... the best I have found so far is

300 str
150 vit
10 focus (maybe more if you really need it)
the rest in dex

now why?

300 strength....why only 300? Because there is a soft cap on how effective strength is. The cap is at 300. On my rogue I tested it and put in 745 strength. I had 125 pierce and it barely added any damage for the amount of strength added. It did make my skills damage skyrocket xD. My riposte did up to 5000 damage. While it still does add some damage, it only adds 1 per 5 stats, or sometimes only 1 per 10.

150 vit. I chose 150 vit as the max I was going to use until 150, or if I really really needed more. I have 2000 hp due to items that add hp, and get along just fine as long as I use light heal every 4-5 mobs.

10 focus. I chose 10 simply because it is sufficient. I still have 1k energy at 10 focus, and 60 regen ensures that I never run out.

Dexterity. From now on I am putting all my points into dex. This because it adds 10 defense per 5 points, which is very very beneficial. I get missed so much, that I can take on 4 3* mobs my level and not die. I can even do bosses that don't have many skills without bolas because they never hit me with anything but skills. ]

As for my actual stats

2000 hp
1000 energy
890 damage
800 defense
2300 attack
level 116

Note: I am a little bit loaded on lux, so this may not work for everyone.

The skills I use are

Longshot 37/25
Light heal 30/25
Sharp shot 25/25 (thinking of changing this for sharpen weps because it is doing terrible damage lately)
Double shot 25/25

your sharpshot is doing less damage because you have less dex. More dex, more damage.

Actually I have more dex than strength because of stat adds. It is simply not a great skill xD

Works fine for me. Mine hits at 600-700.
