Hmm. Rangers definitely aren't the best damage dealers in my opinion. Crits:

Power Shot might be better off being replaced by Hunter's Shot. It's not quite as damaging, but can cause bleeding and is only half the energy cost.

I don't think it's worth having Read The Wind and Ignite Arrows seeing as you can only use one at any given moment. Probably best to just pick one and go with it.

I can't really think of a good reason to have Imagined Burden instead of Pin Down, seeing as it should be about half the cost with a high level of Expertise, so perhaps replace that?

You have to fit Distracting Shot in there somewhere. A Ranger without that is like a Warrior wielding a staff.

Not necessarily. There are such things as specialized builds. Such builds deal 100 damage in a few seconds, due to spikes and buffs. Distracting shot can throw off a skillset, or make one.

Use Kindle arrow instead of ignite arrow

And your damage sucks, since you have some easily removed hexes instead of buffs.
