Melee Ranger spec?

[Aiteal]

Im tryin to lvl up a ranger aswell atm, and i was thinking about going the; 35bow, 39pierce, 39cd, 35stealth, 16pf, i saw a ranger shootin around with 35bow and it really wasn't to bad, but how big is the damage difference between the 35/40/45 bow specs?

thats pretty much my spec
except 39 blades/39 cd

35 bow is plenty of damage, with the added bonus of rapid fire and volley 1 for keep fights
I think there's a max 12% more damge from 35 bow to 50
although the variance is the real determining factor obviously


if you go the hybrid route
I'd recommend mos4 or above, critshotting an assassin outta stealth who is standing still and seeing them shit themselves when they realise they are on 50% hits is just too much fun
