If going pure ranger, no reason at all to go for robes/outfits anymore. Light armor will give you some physical resistance rating, while a robe or outfit will give you nothing.

You want to have as high str as possible anyway, as str adds to dmg while dex doesnt. The base dex score you want to aim for at level 20+ is 21 (that is including a dex tome but nothing else), which is the requirement for combat archery (epic feat). The three stats you want high in is str, dex and con.

Just put 1 point in umd at each level, which is easy for a ranger anyway. Beyond that,  also get diplomacy, balance, and if possible, hide and move silently. Put 1 rank in tumble, so you can use the skill. In order to get a useable umd at high levels, you will need a shroud skill item (air, air, air cha skills are popular, or a conc opp item with cha skills if you got the ingredients for it).

Feat-wise you will probably aim for arcane archer, and beyond the feats needed for arcane archer (mental toughness, point blank shot, weapon focus ranged), you will want toughness and imp crit ranged. You have some freedom with your remaining feats, beyond one feat at epic levels which should be combat archery.

Im sure our resident master archer Nath have some additional advice, if you ask her 🙂

My Ranger is more melee based and I TR’d my archer about 2 weeks before they brought out all the decent abils for them!! so was going to suggest getting some advice from either Nath, Twinswords or Jan as all have effective rangers that use bow a lot, am sure there are a few others in guild too.

I do use bows with my ranger as manyshot a great abil so can add somethig on the remaining feats, as you will have mental toughness like Jan has said and you will also want to have an sp item and a greensteel sp item at tier 2 and 3, if you choose the feat empowered healing and equip yourself with a half decent devotion item (70ish+) you will have very nice self healing for soloing wihout spending too much sp and can also then use the heal scrolls outside combat like Jan has advised by maxxing the UMD.

It is ofc worth having 2 half decent swords for melee also, Scimitars do the job well without having to use feats.

Then it is just down to the gear and selection of bows, at low level (from 6) the Silver Longbow is still very viable, then getting into the higher levels there are a few named, but again people who have the dedicated archers will tell you the bows they tend to use, I tend to keep following selection: Epic Acid Long Bow from Canith Challenges (very handy), Epic Thornlord, Bow of the Silver Flame (ok for undead) Crafted Holy Burst of Greater Construct Bane, GS Bow Tier 3 fire, I would presume for an archer a decent selection of situational bows is a must!!

The build looks good 🙂 I think that increasing STR with levels is a good idea, just discussed it with Ulf too, I didn’t think of that but to-hit is probably not a problem on a pure ranger 🙂

EDIT: I see you did not take all the devotions, I think its an important boost but I see you took human versatility all the way?

I dont take fav enemy dragon usually, I think there are ones you will get the benefit from more often.

Not sure about the tags problem it looks fine to me, otherwise I usually copy text via notepad to clear any formatting I dont want.

Maybe some others can post their ideas about favoured enemy? I usually take undead, evil outsider, construct and the last time I levelled I took Drow/Elves due to the new content but there are lots of options, it depends on what is important to you – I usually took the ones I know there are allot of and that can have some resistances/difficult to kill. There are allot of Aberrations is a some quests (level 15-18 got some new quests for example), but hardly any in the new level 20+ stuff eveningstar stuff and challenges?
