    Actually it is possible that the crit severity boost from Half-Orc makes it a least as good as Wood elves. That having been said i went with a Wood Elf as it seems to fit the lore better.....

    Half orc has to pick strength or? if so wood elf is way better

    There was a note in the patch notes about the racial for not being punted around being fixed. So that may mean the dwarves aren't so bad off now.

    As for myself? I'm doing a high elf. Screw the legolas/drizz`t players. I got my own path to forge. :)

    I'm thinking halfing because your going to be using tenes for max dps eficiency. U get sooooo much crit and arp for free.. and power is such a bad stat.
    U R 2 E Z- SENT IV GWF undefeated 16k GS
    FaceRoller- regen recovery TR (put on the shelf for now) 14k GS
    Supreme CHAOS - IV GF (put on the shelf for now) 16k GS
    White Khalifa- tene/hp/regen CW (retired) 11k GS (tene)
    Death From Above- TANK ranger 16kGS
    (all halfling everything)

    Tenes is the option of the rich. :)

    I'm going to be going for high recovery to do rapid in out striking. fast hits in melee, out before they know exactly what's going on to pepper with arrows, set up the split to sky so that as they try to come in at me, I go stealth and storm back in. Currently, there is only one other class that has a sudden movement that makes it difficult for people to keep up with...

    ... and they have stealth too. :)

    Half-Orcs can get both +2STR and +2 DEX simultaneously.

    half orc cant roll the 18dex 18 wisdom 12 str roll like wood elves and drow can but that roll is a one trick pony roll and is not as flexible as 18 15 15

    Hey guys, im asking here because I'm not sure why I can't post a new topic.

    As far as rolling stats goes, is it better to have 20 DEX / 15 WIS / 13 STR than 18/18/12 etc. and could someone explain why?

    It is because of all your stats tend to be 10 or below 10 if you choose the 20/15/13 route.

    By all means a 20 dex is no push over, but for the character to have optimal secondary stats, you need to still focus on your non-primary ability scores.

    Voltomey has a great example where he switches all of his dex through levelling and gave it to intelligence. Furthermore he had gone with a 18/15/15 roll. This allowed him to hit 20 intelligence I believe and gave him faster cooldowns on his powers, making his character overall much more complete and competent for his role as a melee ranger.

    I hope this helps you =)

    Half Orc

    +2 Dex and +2 Str

    5% crit severity

    Speed buff when entering combat

    All very good traits...yet the number one trait is:

    Best Race for Ranger that is not ELF

    I love horc for my ranger. I'm not even 60 yet and just using a lot of blues that I picked up. I'm getting 17k aimed shot crits already from working on maxing crit and crit severity.
