Really? Str builds dont need restos but dex builds do? Wth is this. Doesnt dex add to defence? I get str is more of an auto attack build but u act like dex builds are worthless unless u have a milion restos. Skills are good for locking. I rarely get lock on any frozen or dl relying solely on auto attacks.1. From personal experience, strength is an easier build to play with. Reasons, dps gear is nice, not much if any need for restos, and easier to dual log if that is possible for you since str rangers are usually auto based. Dex build is catching up slowly to the power of str but unless u have infinite energy lixs and restos, will always suck. Plus with dex build, you become more like a mage where ur skills are the only things that do real dmg which is still below str dps.
2. For a str ranger this is what I use: Double Shot, Rapid Shot, Sharpen Weapons, Steady Aim, Light Heal. I sometimes switch out one for entangle or bolas for bossing, or even use camo to get places without dying.
3. From personal experience, wyld sun ammy is the worst ammy there is for a ranger. 500 dmg max on a mob your lvl doesnt sound too good for the skill, as for the str, it will add only about 1/3 of the amount the str adds, which means it only adds about 27 dmg. Personally, a cheap good ammy would be sunshard dmg ammy, skyglass sunlight ammy, or midnight tally. The only reason u would get the sun ammy is for the hp and regen really. Another factor u may have noticed is that u can only use the skill when close to the enemy, which kinda sucks, especially at boss fights where u have to run up to the boss, use the skill, and run back. For the bow, i would say get adamant, in any possible way, it will have the best dps untill wyrmbone bow. Which means it will out dps a frozen bow as well. Another recommendation for gear is dmg rings like firefang, coldsteel, and stormfist. I got three godly and used a haste ring for my fourth ring.
Thats all from personal experience and what helped me around that lvl.

Yeah however he is right about one thing. Dual logging an auto ranger w bolas is actually a really good dual log. I use rogue or warrior since i cant dual log. At leat w rogue i can solo lock. With warriors i can kill nearly anything if i dont need to compete on a boss.This post is old. Dex build is obviously better now due to resists, divine damage and the dex skill buff.Really?

+1Whether it is a main that has your full focus, or an alt that is afk auto and just casts buffs. When it comes to end game, a str build will almost always finish behind a dex or hybrid build
Would you still recommend the midnight tali past 150?1. From personal experience, strength is an easier build to play with.

Really all depends on what point of the game you're at and whats available to you.So I've recently picked up my ranger again and I have a few questions.
1. Strength or Dexterity?
2. Based on no. 1, what skills should I use?
3. What bow should I use? I have the meteoric bow, but can easily afford adamant.
I am currently using a level 100 ice quiver, and a Wyldgrove Ammy of the Sun, and can afford anything else when it comes to gear.
Thanks!
