Just nitpicky, but you forgot the bonus to maxhit you get from str. I have it in the melee thread somewhere, let me find it.

Edit: got it. Just for all those math nuts.

((Offense+STR)/100)*WeaponDamage+DamageBonus+1=Maxhit.
So, a 60 Ranger with 200 STR:
(240+200)/100=4.2.
4.2*X+12=MaxHit. Replace X with weapon damage.

Also, something to think about going into Velious would be the guaranteed damage via mainhand damage bonus. Some mobs, if I recall, have higher AC and mitigation, so you hit for minimum a lot more. That might actually make something like a Revultant Whip outdamage something big and slow in the mainhand, or a 2H.

Woodsman goes absolutely hard in the paint once you've gotten past the early level damage caps. A fungi, fbss (or any other haste item), and a woodsman with a bunch of cheap raw ac/hp items and you're set. If you know your shit (and group, even as a twink) people will absolutely notice. I had little to no problems getting groups on my ranger. Tanks are often hard to come by. People will take your lvl 30 fungi wearing ass, double attacking for 120 np. If they don't, solo outdoors somewhere - you have to pretty much go out of your way to die. I did 1-50 in a little over a month. Didn't pick up a fungi til mid 30's. Can't recommend making one if you can't afford a woody + haste item though, but to each their own. And don't pay 18k for a woodsman.

Is this another one of those feel-good posts about how no one likes you but it's okay if you're having fun?

I stack dex for the swarmcaller proc - no amount of dps or regen or is gonna help me (melee) solo my guy at 55 if I don't get that proc. Otherwise, I find it fairly useless until /disc true.

Makes sense. Do you know how much additional % to proc you get out of the additional dex?
