Stats in Classic are scarce. Ranger’s have a wide variety of options. They are pretty good tanks in groups due to their high aggro. While versatile, they are pretty weak in most other areas of the game in Classic era. You can either stack melee stats, tank stats. or a mix of both. It’s really a personal preference. Some slots have clear BiS, while others you can pick and choose which stat you want to go with. I would personally prefer to go with a more tanky route since our DPS will be generally poor in Classic regardless.

**You may also want to pick up resist gear to swap for raiding. A common way to get this is Jewelcrafting Gear (Ears, Neck, Rings, Face), Crown of the Froglok Kings (FR/CR – Helm), Crown of King Tranix (MR – Helm).**

Below are stats you can expect with the gear below. Your results will vary a bit depending on which items you choose, your race, and starting stats.

If I missed a better item in any slot, feel free to let me know in Discord.
