Starting stats for ranger

[DeathsSilkyMist]

According to my DPS calculator, a level 60 Ranger using Argent Protector and SCHW will get +0.5-1.0 DPS against a level 45 target with +20 STR.

Starting stats won't give you a very noticeable boost. STR gear and buffs are easy to get if you want more carry weight. STR and DEX is easy to cap by endgame via buffs.

STA is a safe bet, as you may change your mind about the character later on. Everquest is a long game, and your ideas about your characters may change over time. I made my Monk years ago, but didn't start seriously playing him until recently.

WIS is also a decent choice, as that stat is harder to come by on melee gear. Velious melee gear tends to be generous with STR and STA.

Good point.
