Ok. this is what ive noticed alot amongst archers. they tend to put to much into dex and worry to much about it. Dont get me wrong dex is important to an archer but you should really think about putting points into strength. Ive also noticed that when i mention the feat. Bow Strength people get all confused and ask me whats that. Well there is a reason people think rangers are gimped cause they dont take time to read there auto given feats like Bow strength. With this feat if you invest into strength it should increase ur damage by alot and if you have a 32pt build you should still put ur des as high as 18 and focus on strength cause with items, tomes, feats, and enhancements contributing you should be able to put all ur points into strength and still end up have an equaly as high Dex. That way you do more damage thanx to bow strength and always hit do to your naturally high dex. I have a lvl 7 ranger aswell and from what ive seen I can take out most enemies with 2 too 3 hits in hard difficulty thanks to str and dex being high. also try considering the arcane archer path. Imo its really fun and you will save alot of money on arrows. ^.^
