How to gear a ranger:
1.) look cool
2.) be able to max str from self buffs. Have other stat gear for when a shaman is avail.
3.) Try to maintain respectable hps/svs (especially Sv magic)
4.) Try to maintain respectable AC
5.) Pack resist gear for raids plus some swappable junk
6.) top tier quest and drop gear has all of that. Aim for the stars.
I’ve personally yet to hit #6 on p99. Anything that has a surplus of strength (even at a lack of hps) I usually wear. That lets me have some no-str slots (earring of essence, imbued granite spaulders, Etc).
But yea, looking cool is a serious goal. Weapons, haste, attk power (str) and some general play skill are most important. Unless you’re pulling for raids, that’s a different situation.
