Ranger Stats to focus on?

[Junaru]

I looked through the stickies and didn't see it but as a noob Ranger what stats should I focus on? With my Monk it's STR, STA, WIS/AGI. I'm guessing for a Ranger is would be AGI, STR, STA/INT?

STR/INT. Concentrate on those two, you will get enough of AGI and STA anyways and they are pretty much worthless for rangers.The stickies are seriously outdated by the way, don't bother with them too much. Check out the fresher topics.

Which stat affects ranged damage?

<p>STR affects your ranged / melee / CA damage</p><p>INT affects your spell (poison) damage</p>

one thing i have been wondering....if you take the poison crit in the predator aa tree and poisoning line in the ranger aa tree, is it worth it to focus your jewelery more to INT? cause one of my high elfs racial traits was spell crit chance, and I seem to gained alot more dps after respecing my AA trees. im level 51 and have the AGI tree filled out and almost all of the poisoning line and all but the final ability of the INT line...think I would do more with INT jewelry? (strenth is at 300 with outdated level 30 gear,in barely 50...)

You should try to grab some mastercrafted armor with INT on it, I think it's Melodic armow. That should have both +STR and +INT stats on it.I'd concentrate on +STR for your jewelry, but if you can find something with +INT too then go for that. However, don't sacrifice STR for INT.You could also try using a STR or INT potion too, that would get you a nice +50 or so buff.

They removed Focus Aim from PvP so you really have to get as much STR/INT as possible and try to get your poisens working for you now more than ever.  Never hurts in PvE either I guess as a raiding ranger doesn't really need STA or WIS and AGI get gradually more and more useless <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />
