I'm pretty happy with how I've geared out my ranger so far, but there's a couple slots where I'm wondering which item to use. He's mostly EC-geared, and I'm not going to be prioritizing him for raid drops in the foreseeable future. I play him mostly solo with the occasional duo or trio, and sometimes bring him to WW for 6-neck fights. The Magelo is here. I don't think any of these gear choices are going to be meaningful but you know, sometimes it's fun to tinker. One thing I'd like is more dex for faster procs on Swarmcaller.

What should I do for boots? I've got Tribal War Boots and Barbed Dragonscale Boots, and I've been going Dragonscale when fighting non-casters, Tribal when I'd like the resists. I could also pick up a pair of Crystal Chitin.

For rings right now I've got a 5/55 and a Knotted Turtlebone Ring. I picked up the turtle ring because I was hoping I'd find some interesting hunting in Kedge, but that didn't go well and I'm considering selling it. I'm conflicted on whether it's better to go hp/ac or something like Fire Emerald Velium Ring for str/dex. I've also been farming goblin skins for a Di'Zok Signet of Service. I also plan to eventually craft a pair of Velium Diamond Wedding Ring for when I want resists.

Is there anything better for the face slot? I was planning to pick up a Golden Diamond Mask for when I want resist gear, but I've been having trouble finding anything obtainable that would be better than Grotesque Alloy Mask. Not interested in trying to do the Eyepatch of Plunder quest.
Boots-wise you are already well off for non-raid gear. If you really want DEX, perhaps https://wiki.project1999.com/Tigeraptor_Boots at the cost of HP.

Face-wise https://wiki.project1999.com/Eyepatch_of_the_Shadows would be an HP upgrade at the cost of 1 dex, 1 mr, and 2 ac.

Ring-wise https://wiki.project1999.com/Overseer%60s_Signet is a nice DEX piece with MR on it, at the cost of HP. I use https://wiki.project1999.com/Diamond_Wedding_Band on my shaman as a decently balanced stat + resist piece.

Just some quick suggestions based on what you are looking for.

You could also get https://wiki.project1999.com/Cloak_of_Shadows if you want a bit more DEX, but obviously that will be a stat drop in other places.

https://wiki.project1999.com/Gauntlets_of_Fiery_Might would be a good DEX boost at the cost of 3 str.

https://wiki.project1999.com/Rain_Caller would give some DEX too.
