The title says it all. My main is now a Phantom Ranger and I am wondering what some of the more higher lvl skilled PR players have for there Dye set up and some help as to which ones i should get would be gladly appreciated.
I'd reccomend +5 str/+4 dex/-9 con for tattoos. Damage output is all you need to worry about, even with subpar gear you should be able to kill a lot of mobs before they ever reach you with that setup. Thanks to the +dex and your natural evasion, if you stick to whites/greens you'll barely be harmed even when they do reach you. Your regeneration and hp will be very low, but you can make up for it with healing potions.
Once you're all done with PvE you may want to do the reverse and up Con as much as possible to increase your survivability. However the original setup can still be very effective in PvP if you find that you're rarely the prime target of your enemies.
I haven't heard anyone saying +wit increases crit damage, but that's just insane anyway. If you tend to PvP a lot then a +4 wit/-4 int in place of the last strength point may do you some good. If you ever use Drain Life it will increase your crit rate (very slightly), and it also increases your resistance to curses. Once C5 rolls around this will be a moot point as Men will determine curse resistance, so only take that tattoo if you have money to throw away.
Also as Orvieta stated, Plated Leather is great for PvE. You can still use this in your 70s as long as you're careful hunting and avoid pulling 2 stun mobs at once.
Wow thanks for all the help. I went ahead and got Plated Leather set and +4str and +5 dex , -9con and so far it works awesome thanks much for all the help again.
