Ok...I took a long time off from EQ...did about 2 years of nothing and came back about 3 months ago.

Currently I am level 65...staying there for the moment, and I have about 5300hps unbuffed, I have a timespinner in my main hand...etc. My gear is pretty good all things included.

My question is in AA's.

Currently I have

Combat Fury 3
Combat Agility 2
Archery Mastery 3
Endless Quiver
Innate Camoflague

and three aa's in the bank.

Where should I be heading from here? I assume I should go ahead and save up for Combat Agility 3...but then what...Ambidexterity? How about after that.

Give me advice, turds.

Heh thought I saw you on the other night, but looked back and you werent there.

I dunno for sure on ranger but the extra spell slot is a great for like everyone. Then the PoP avoidance/mitagaion ones, prolly want to finish off the archetype avoidance/mitigation/hit points ones before the PoP ones.

mnemonic retition in OoW 3 aa extra spell slot
Then archetype agility/stabilty/hit points 36 pts (less 9 for your comabat agility already) so 27 aa
Then PoP avoidance/mitigation 30pts

There very well could be sexy bow ones I am missin but that would be my advice on next 60.

I agree with Flish.

I'd say extra spell slot, and finish up the defensive AAs. It will help a bunch since you say you have good gear already.

That should keep you busy for awhile.

Well if I added correctly, you're currently at 59aa. That's a pretty good number - I would honestly suggest getting to level 70. Those 5 levels will give you a bigger boost to hp/ac/mana/newspells/skillcaps than any aa will. You said you've been away for 2 years so that may mean you don't have OoW and subsequent expansions. That might be more of a priority, but concerning just your question, my advice is to level up. As for aa progression after that, I recommend:

Combat Agility 3
Ambidexterity
Fury of the Ages
Planar Power
Ferocity
Sinister Strikes
Combat Stability

That should keep you busy for awhile. Ranger dps has really drifted from bow to melee, so if you have a timespinner, work those melee aa's. Bow dps will get outdated until you get an OoW+ bow.

This is all coming from a warrior, keep in mind - yet I think I've been around the block!

Thanks for the advice...I have a pretty nice bow, since I play on FV nothing is no-drop. I also have all of the expansions and good group of people helping me out.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Totally volunteer alliance that allows independents, they are light RP, but like every Sunday they are in raiding Time.

FotA works on bow + melee crits, might be worth a little AAing before you grindup if you usually find yourself bow dps'ing.

Dearest Tacosid,

* Bow damage becomes minimal in most oow+ zones apart from burst dps.
* Concentrate on melee aas for damage. You will use melee weapons more than bows. Ambidexterity is a start followed by others.
* Defensives as mentioned the agility ones are a godsend either as puller or stand in tank. Lightning reflexes 5 is cheap and wonderful at 15aa's.
