Hello,
I made a elven Scout today. I'm thinking of possibly switching to Ranger later on but for now I'm wondering how best to place the training points. I got my guy up to level 4 and so far I have been putting the points into Bow, Dex, and Str equally each time he leveled. Not really knowing any better I figure these three are the most important to a scout.

So I'm wondering how best I should be placing my TPs. Should I be maxing any one area like , Bow or dex? Or should I keep spreading them out evenly? Whats going to give me the most bang for my buck point wise when it comes to a good scout build?

Also is there a way to do a keybind command or something that will swap out the bow for sword(or any other weapon) and shield once the mob comes into melee range? I know ideally we should kill from a distance, which I want to do, but I do realize often that doesn't happen.
