There's still a difference - you just don't have the near blindness that used to exist for races without vision buffs.

Definitely remember my first "night" in Toxx forest on my erudite magician... Couldn't see anything!

No kidding! An erudite was my first character and I quickly learned what a good thing torches were. I could barely get out of the tunnel into the newbie yard without one. I took to fishing on the docks through the night as it was just too dark for reasonable hunting. A lightstone, or even better a GLS was a game changer.

Don't forget to add tracking to your list of abilities. Hands down one of your most useful abilities.

My first was a human ranger. I hated that tunnel going to Surefall Glade. Kept getting turn around going through there.

You can dance of the fireflies for corpse runs as a human at 15.

Before that you have to just make do with kicking in the carapace of a firebeetle when you die :P.

Dex is one of the most important stats a Ranger has. It helps with Weapon skill up, but most importantly it helps a TON with Bow Crits. And that is a Rangers bread and butter, bow crits. So I think Str and Dex is the way to go. They don't need much wis because most of their spells are 15 levels below what a Druid gets, so they have low mana cost to cast them.

What do bow crits really matter without all the archery love post-Luclin (AA's and such)? You're not going to out-DPS your melee with it. Also I don't think P99 supports /autofire?

I thought we dont get bow grits until after luclin?

[Colgate]

no, bow crits are already in
