I've recently started to play DDO again after a break, and I'd like a little input on builds/current META of the game.

I bought aasimar scourge and TRed into a 6 ranger 9 monk split with the intention of 12 monk 6 ranger 2 fighter wisdom based arcane archer.

While it works, I forgot just how craptastic a bow user is to level, and it's never really been a favorite of mine anyway.

I'd really prefer to melee, but from what I've seen ranged seems to work better with reaper. So my question is, exactly how painful would a str based aasimar scourge pure ranger be to level if I was to switch out the monk levels? Or am I better off just sucking it up till 20 plus where the damage picks up?

I know Monk would be a better option, but I'm not really fond of them despite how amazing they can be.

Not a completionist toon. 2 monk PL, 1 ranger PL, 1 ftr, 1 bard, 1 pally.

Thanks in advance.

Thank you. Especially for the cheaper alternative option.
