50 Ranger/help/Leather or Plate

[Brilliant]

I've been looking for gear but half the people say to get leather and half say armor? I'm not a tank but a Ranger so I'm supposing from a distance leather would be fine. Unless the armor has stats that I may need that leather doesn't??

As a rogue you can only equip Leather or Cloth armor. You definitely want Leather over Cloth. What they may have been talking about is DPS gear vs Tank gear (which will have less Dex, more End, and include avoidance stats). For Ranger you want the DPS gear.

The one caveat, if you come across a significantly better piece (higher Dex, Crit, AP) than what you have grab it regardless, but in the long run DPS gear will be what is optimal for you.

Tank gear for rogues neither has crit nor attack power.

Tank gear for rogues neither has crit nor attack power.

It has both through the dex and str stats.

Just so I am on the same page with this..I want as far as stats go (50 Ranger)

1st-Dex
2nd-Attack Power
3rd-Physical Crit
then hit?
And all Leather Gear

Also what attunment should I be putting my points into i'm guessing ranged ones (50 Ranger)

Get the planar attunement with attack power for your weapons first. If you intend on switching weapons/getting an upgrade often then concentrate on Dex upgrades. The tier 2 palanar abilities are nice to have too. Air givs you a 30 Dex Buff on your one handed weapons, Earth a 3 DPS buff (which affects ranged damage) any other elemental attunement is negligible for DPS.

Since I'm a 50 Ranger with Range DMG i suppose I should go with AP (happen to know which) but then again I use range weapons 90% of time? does that make a difference on stats?dont think eath is range dmg
