Zephyr,
My advice would be to put the majority of your points into Agility and Dexterity. As a ranger those two stats provide a bonus. Agility is compared to your opponents dexterity. If you have more than he has dex you will evade more often and not get hit. There does appear to be at least a 25% chance to get hit no matter how well you evade however.
Your dexterity does 2 things. The higher it is compared to your opponents dex - the more often you hit you target and they are unable to evade your strike. Also, for every 10 points of dex you get a 1% better chance to critical.
Str. and Int. can be left alone for quite a while and you will do fine. You will need to gradually raise vitality to increase your hit points.
As a ranger I believe your best weapon is the javelin as long as you can finish fights quickly. After 20 combat rounds they have their damaged halved for the remainder of the fight.
My character name is Gambit and you can look at my build and equipment if you go to statistics. I am on the first page.
I have only been playing for about 3 weeks and I sure there is more that others can tell you who have been around longer. There may be excellent arguments for other weapons and point distributions.
Gambit
It really depends on how you are doing in the fights and what you are fighting. I am unsure of your level also. As the game progresses and opponents have more armor you will see your damage go down. If they also have a reasonable block you may need to go to a high damage weapon so that the reduction is not as steep. You want hits that you do get to really hurt them. If you are fighting folks in lower armor a one-handed weapon is fine.i'm a ranger, so i would like you to give me some advice if you want to.......as you know i new to this game!
If you are not dying it becomes a matter of economics. Look at the average healing you need to do each way - and choose the weapon that keeps you from having to do too much healing. You may need to switch weapons out.
As I myself am a ranger (I assume you are a warrior) I can't give you the best advice. Hopefully another warrior can weigh in and provide some info. You might also want to message a few of the higher level warriors in the game to see what they are using. As a ranger I looked at what the more successful members in my class were doing, weighed the pros and cons, and emulated them where I thought it was appropriate.
