Ranged Character questions

[theboyftw]

couple of questions on my new ranged character:

1. what's the best way to target mobs at the rear of the pack to maximize improved precise shot impact? I've tried tabbing between monsters but it seems to stick to the ones that you can see the clearest/closest to you.
2. am I better off leveraging the ranged power enhancements in harper or weapon damage enhancements in other trees?

thanks in advance!

Yes.

+1 Ranged Power is +1% of your base dmg. So if your total avg dmg (excluding crits) is below 100, then +1 dmg per AP is more valuable; if it's above 100, then +1 RP per AP is more valuable.

This gets more complicated if you're talking about dmg bonuses which aren't 1:1 per AP; or if you have sneak atk dmg (e.g., Mechanics) which is scaled by 150% Ranged Power (meaning SAs benefit more from RP than regular dmg does). Without knowing more about your specific build, though, it's impossible to figure out what the ideal AP spread is.

You should bind both target closest and target next enemy....scratch out the tab button

she's a dex/wis based half elf Monk / Ranger AA currently level 15 (10 monk - 5 ranger) with dex to damage. thus far most of her enhancement points are allocated to passive KI regen for 10K stars, dodge & sprint boost type enhancements. I've got up to tier 4 in AA for paralyzing arrows.
