Does anyone know most needed Attributes to Rager are DEXTERITY or SENCE or STRENGTH ? Does Ranger need Short weapon skill? or only BOW skill?

Senses is the most important attribute for a ranger; you want to bring that to 100 for Eagle Eye as quickly as possible. Dexterity is also important. If your ranger is a Mook, you may want to bring up strength and close combat for when you find the giant sword (only Mooks can use that weapon).

I would go with dex/senses first, max those, then str/spd/vit.

Totally agree, if your Ranger is a Mook try to have him use a sword as a secondary weapon, there's a good sword only Mooks can use. For other races I like to go with a polearm..

If you are planning on using the trippelshot crossbow, build up stamina as well, (strength and vitality). My ranger goes unconcious after 3-4 rounds. Kind of boring. From now all points into strength and vitality for my part, already got eagle eye and it is increasing extremely fast and the crticals are coming at a strady rate.

Do you think Ranger does not need close combat weapon skill like sword or others? I think RANGER can use bow not only to long range combat but also to close combat, Is this true?

Close Combat is for use with Melee Weapons only. For Rangers using a bow, no matter how close the enemy, the skill used is Ranged Combat. Ranged Combat is a generalized skill that would apply to all Bows, XBows, Modern Weapons, and Thrown/Sling weapons.

Close Combat is a general skill for Swords, Axes, Maces, etc.

Gothmorg, why not use stamina spells to keep your Ranger going?

Nekko, rangers are best with a bow, they usually don't need close combat or sword skill. The Mook ranger is an exception, because of the good Giant Sword you find later in the game. If you have a Mook ranger, you may want to consider building up sword and close combat.
