i am a lvl 55 phantom ranger, i used all my skills for bow skills only except the genal weapons masteries in the beginning and got powershot all other skills are not needed unless you plan on having a dagger as a back up weapon.
also get the geneal armor slkill they help evasion and wear light armor inc reases evasion when in it, so buy light armor not heavy armor but alway upgrade your weapon before armor you are an awesome offensive player and if you kite well most mobs won't even touch you
i spend most of my low lvls in mage wear since the bows i had were mp hogs and i hated the down time mana regening, but that was a choice i made, also thx to the exploits and cheats in prelude i was able to make a ton of cash so i was tweeked and spammed ss and still do spam ss now
hope this helps anytime you have questions email me at
fast-stang@austin.rr.comi can prolly keep you from making all the mistakes i di lvling up
Peace,
