What does INT do for a ranger?

[skala]

<p>Hey guys!  New player to EQ2 here...and consequently, new ranger.  I hear much about the stats STR-INT-AGI for rangers.  If I'm not mistaken, STR adds damage, and AGI adds more power, as well as % to hit, is that correct?</p><p>What does INT do?</p><p>Thanks in advance!</p>

It DOES NOT affect to hit. This is a fallacy often miscommunicated amongst the ranger community.</p><p>Int - poison damage. After gu-52 I do not beleive it affects proc damage anymore.</p><p>If you solo alot STR/AGI/INT or STA</p><p>If you group STR/INT/AGI or STA</p><p>If you raid STR/INT/AGI or STA</p><p>I put STA in there because it gives you more hitpoints and allows you to live through those AoEs all named mobs cast now in TSO raids and instances.</p>

<p>Str adds damage to melee hits</p><p>Agi adds power and %FROM being hit (raises your physical avoidance)</p><p>Int adds to the poison damage but not sure if it matters anymore with the recent changes.</p><p>Wis adds to your resistance from spell damage</p><p>Overall I would say that an Int ranger would betray to a better class and be an assassin.</p>

Just doesn't effect proc's from gear/etc.</p>
