Stat gearing strategy for 50s ranger.

[Jimjam]

For the first 40 or so levels I've been focusing in AC and Str. This worked well enough.

Unfortunately the last ten levels for a ranger are completed with the defence skill of a level 40. It is my suspicion that no amount of worn AC is going to be able to mitigate decent mob ATK with this hamstring. The reputation of rangers is being paper tanks kunark and beyond.

I currently need a jade reaver, SeoC and VS stone to complete epics.

Besides that, for levelling up through the 50s what should a ranger be focusing on stat wise?
