Looking to TR one of my rangers into a heavy repeater Artificer.

Both rangers I am considering TRing are 3rd life Rangers currently, so TRing will give me +6 ranged damage and 6% native resistances. So looking at 36 pt base build and will eat a supreme +3 stat tome (all stats str, dex, con, int, wis, cha).

Not sure where to go...WF or half-elf....

any build recommendations and pro's/con's
both tr's already have min 2 helms (HP) and concord/op umd/sp items.
will craft lightning 2 heavy repeater before TR

that's as far as i have gotten lol so need lots of help.

Post your thoughts and recommmendations. looking to make a beast...

Thanks
