This allows a Ranger who goes TWF to do some major damage with say, a pair of bastard swords.Attribute wise, a Dex ranger can probably just get a good dex+wisdom, and survive with a decent str score. TWF rangers seem to rely on str+dex, or if they go with something like pit fighter, they generally go for str+wis instead of dex.Power wise, both of them can use a lot of the same powers. TWF gets Cascade of blades, which is a very unique, cool, and strong power. However its not the end all, be all of ranger powers.Archer rangers will (generally) be placed in less danger then melee rangers, as well. They can safely shoot their enemies from a distance, shifting with every shot. Melee rangers take more risk for more reward. IMO TWF=Damage and combat positions (A lot of their powers shift, push, and knock enemies down). Ranged=Defense and mobility.Of course, a good ranger can do both, a classic TWF ranger that goes str+dex can find himself using a Bow often, since he'll have decent enough dex and quite a few of his powers can probably used with a bow, too. Archer rangers won't be as good in Melee, but they can still fight quite well.(And this is my first post, I felt compelled to sign up here for it!)</blockquote>
