hey i have a R/W and im having problems keeping my health up. I tried using troll unguent which works great..until it wears off between the wearing off and casting time i usually die. So if anyone can give me a good suggetion on how to keep alive thanks. My two attributes i like are swordsmanship and markmanship. so i can use points in anyhting else thanks in advance

umm you are a ranger
that means a no no to swordsmanship thats why u are probably getting killed becase u r using a sword
so use a bow that way u r not face to face with the monsters
invest in expertise and marksmanship
use wilderness/beast mastery if u want or u could use the points in your secondary proffesion attribute like channeling if u go /rit
since you r a /w thought i dodn't think any of those attributes will help u
the only usefull skills in war for a ranger are flail and flurry/frenzy

Random Dude is right, the only weapon you should ever use from the warrior line is the hammer (see 'thumpers' if you want to know more about the hammerwielding ranger). I suggest you run 10/14 expertise as these are the breakpoints, and 16 marksmanship. Also be sure to always have a longbow and shortbow with you. Here are some elites you absolutely need to capture: Glass arrows/Broad Head Arrow/Barrage/Prepared Shot. Here's a good build:

R/W
this a damage build

Glass arrows Elite
concussion shot
keen arrow
savage shot
screaming shot
troll ungeant
flail
whirling defence
antidote signet/whatever

With your longbow you will stay well out of fight
