I was running marks/bard/ranger before my respec. I am wondering if you'd get more benefit from eagle eye vs enduring in the ranger tree. I prefer crit over a small bump in health.
I decided on the Health Bump since my pet kept dying just short of finishing off the baddy, so the health bump to him was actually helping me more than the bump to me. It worked too, I've been taking less damage and don't have to call the pet anywhere near as often. However I really like the improved crit as well. I have purchased a couple of extra Roles and I will be using those to tinker with the best build in practice vs. on paper.
I didn't notice before (posting at work on iPhone) but in the Marks soul, I am not a fan of Keen Eye. A mere 5m range increase for 5 skill points is not worth it imo. I think you are better off putting those points into Sharpshooter (increased hit%) or IncreasedFire Power (increased attack power for 10 secs off crits). I also see Repelling Shot more of a PvP skill but if you are having problems keeping mobs off you (say when pet dies), I can see it being useful.
I find it odd your pet was dying so often (based on your description). Maybe it was Bard heals that kept it alive all the time, but I would have thought the Ranger Rejuvinate would do the same thing. Anyhoo, just my 2 cents. Keep tinkering. I love how much customization there is to suit one's own playstyle.
