Strength is very easy to raise through Velious gear and does not impact your ability to solo very much. Rangers have terrible returns to stamina and tend to rely on rooting and regen, or snaring and regen - meaning your max HP isn't as imporant. Agi isn't worth much.
Yes, this is true except for the bow damage (bow is str). Your epic sword is a slow proc, which makes all the world of difference soloing. So Dex is most important, followed by Wisdom because you get much more mana return compared to hp from stamina. Root/heal is only way to survive.

Rangers also get a strength buff very early on, and dex gear is harder to find.

I'd split between dex/wis.
