DSM,
Not to slippery slope this, since dps always matters, but a ranger is a “greater than the sum of its parts” kind of class.
Outright ratio is great for end-game parsing but means less as you grind to 60. The toolbox of spells and skills is what makes the fun and the results. I had horrid gear and frankly learned a lot banging my head against the wall.
I’d never criticize the objective. At some point, it’s all that matters. Much of the ranger life is the underdog game though.
I’d be leaning to 2h mainly to avoid damage shield issues, or to maximize bow shot damage (as it’s less tolan bracer clicks). HP recovery is a real pain so it’s an important metric to keep in mind.
