Er guess I should have mentioned I'm not a twink, nor do I have the means to twink myself to 250 every stat :/ Was kinda hoping for some advice on exactly which stats actually affect archery damage so I could focus on getting those up specifically.

Dxterity is the only stat that affects bow damage. Max your dex and you'll hit harder with a bow. ;)

i dont care what you people have to say this is how it works. Str up the dmg of the bow, dex ups the average. so str to up the range of dmg and dex to make it hit higher in that range. both are impportant.

ok to answer your question about bow dmg dex does indeed effect your crit/proc PST but it is also what determines your NORMAL bow/ranged weapon shots with 120 or less (unbuffed and unequiped) i was doing 50-110 normal shot - double dmg (i.e. 110 max) with all me stuffs on (249 dex) i was hitting for 160-310 a shot NORMAL, now to answer that str comment str effect how hard you hit with MELEE weapons, carry cap, to a much lesser extent dmg taken, endurance used and hp. these are my findings and was done b4 i got EQ and AM, now the dmg i do with a bow only a caster can compare =D

To answer your question, Str will increase the damage you do with your bow. Where as Dex will cause you to crit more. With 208 str and 144 dex my best kret was 137dmg at 47. At 53 I have done 149 dmg with same stats. Advice is to hang with a bard. But, only partner. With the bard Dex buff you can easily hit 250 dex.
Actually, what I've noticed is that Strength has much less to do with archery damage than Dexterity. For example, my self-buffed STR/DEX is 234/145. Decently buffed, I'm at 255/255. If Strength = damage, than I wouldn't really gain much in normal damage after being buffed. However, I see my average bow shot almost double with 255 DEX.

under lvl 51 ranger and bows are like freekin water and oil but once u get to 51 it a BIG diffrence... will do double damage and better crtis... the higher your Dex is the more often you will crit for bows... so to answer your question... Dex.
