Default Best starting stats for a Wood Elf Ranger?

Does anyone have any ideas on acceptable starting stats for a Wood Elf Ranger?

I read that they should get as much Strength as possible, is that still true?

Anyone have any good examples of low price starting gear for them as well?

Well that is kind of up to you. Personally, when I made my human ranger, I put all 20 points into STA. I felt like between gear and shaman buffs endgame I would have enough str to hit the cap. From what I have heard it is harder to cap your STA. If this is your first toon and will not have any gear to twink with, it might be a good idea to put some points into STR as at lower levels encumbrance is an issue. As a wood elf you start with more wis than any other ranger race so it pretty much is a toss up between str/sta. It wouldn't be bad if you wanted to split between the two stats but there really is no right answer except don't put them into int...

Depends on your goals. I put mine into STR because I mostly melee solo.

Max sta, rest str - accept no alternatives.

Alright, so, split up Sta and Str then? I guess worry about Agi and Dex on gear?

Yep, just be sure to put as many into sta as you can. HP = the most important stat in the game for all melees and hybrids.

Yeah, dex is only useful to proc weapons, which rangers don't really need to do and when you do you'll get that through gear. Agi is a negligible stat, don't even pay attention to it. Str increases attack and carry capacity, so that's next most important stat - wood elves are fairly deficient in str too.

I think on my wood elf ranger I put like two points into wis after maxing sta cause I was like, "Spellz!!1" but I wish I'd just dumped the rest into str.
