Hello Everyone,

I am level 20, I started this game about two weeks ago and I'm not really sure how to play this game in a professional manner, and my gear is the following:

Travelers Mask of Minor Expertise
Studded Leather Vest
Studded Leather Gloves of Minor Marksmanship
Studded Leather Legs
Druids Boots
--Sundering Shortbow of Marksmanship--

Now that you know what I look like, I was wondering if somone could help me with a few questions I have.

What would be the best spec for my point in time right now?

I am mostly PvE and I am looking to try and get my 15k set(s) and the best weapons possible.

Any tips/help is appreciated!

Well....

Generally speaking, Druids armor is the way to go. Ranger's have elemental resistance built in already, so adding a few more points of armor isn't gonna be as big an advantage as using Druid's for the extra energy (unless of course you're using Greater Conflageration...but that's another thread entirely). As for mask's, I have one of each and each with a superior rune for that particular attribute (...ie Hunters mask w/ Superior expertise) so I can switch them out as my build requires. I use a Major Vigor Rune (don't believe in buying sup vigor rune for a PvE character) and then a minor of Marks, Expertise, and Wilderness survival (most used attributes for me).

As for weapons...again that depends on build. I carry a Composite bow, and a short bow. If I'm running a damage build, I use a short bow, and if I'm running an interrupt build I use a composite bow (there's another thread on this in this forum...look under the "need a build for flatbow" thread.)

At this point, I would put most of my points into Marksmanship, but that's just me. Barrage builds are very handy for most of the higher level missions. But so are interrupters. Both of which are based in marks.
