The way I understand it my ranger will be using Woodsman's Staff untill (if)getting epics at lvl 50+...
How does Skyfury Scimitar+Winters Fury dual wield compare to Woodsman's Staff pre/post 50 as a ranger?

Also have not used bow at all so far. I got a Rain Caller and some arrows, but it just doesnt seem usefull besides pulling. Perhaps at higher levels, but any point to it if you have a fungi?

Whats a good ranger solo spot at lvl 30?

I can't comment on the Skyfure+Winter's Fury combo - I use Lupine + Defiance personally at lvl 48 and find it works well, but then again I don't have a Woodsman. I'd wager Woodsman would still win out, unless you have high dex and can proc a lot in which case they might win out.
I just find that dual wield is more *reliable* dps than 2h weapons. Misses or single hits on the 2h weapons tend to give less dps, but then those double hits all make up for it [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

As for bow - no, it's mostly useless at that level unless sneak pulling stuff.

As for solo spot, I soloed 30-35 very quickly in Iceclad fear kiting snow cougars, then switched to griffons in the Karanas to well into my 40s. They went xp green at 47 I believe it was. With a fungi, hill giants are probably easily on the menu too at 40+.
