mid-level training suggestions?

Hoogida boogida? I've found my ranger's DS (sniper build) to be exceptional against everything, including other archers. As a GoS member, I've encountered quite a few of the latter. Not sure I've ever been hit by an arrow on that character to be honest.

I get hit by the occasional crossbow in a camp, and I generally aim for the archers first because they cause me the most problems if I get pulled out into the open (long stun=death). Honestly all my recent deaths have been to invasion critters or CMAN's which is why I want to dump more points into PF....and maybe buy some heavy crit padding down the road. I am hoping if I can get to 2x in physical fitness it will reduce some of the CMAN crits...I can almost guarantee and instant death shield bash if I hunt bandits without outside spells...I have not had one since learning sbash rank1, but I think that is because I have been avoiding bandits so hard.

Yeah, I learned 3 ranks shield bash myself after getting a stupid head crit from a shield bash fighting bandits. Made me so angry. I still get hit, though less than before, and the endrolls are usually pretty low. Seems to have had a good effect on me not getting death-critted.
