3 str, 2 dex, 1 sense. Depending on items, I may adjust that. Regardless, I would definitely go ahead and max str first, even though power strike is close to pointless. The 50% bonus to damage is INVALUABLE, particularly when you're getting that bonus on three (or 4) arrows per attack.

Getting eagle eyes later in the game is no problem. First, because your to hit is fine without. Second, because it improves VERY quickly. Third, because you have a ton of skill points you need to spend on other things to make an effective ranger (in particular, spells!). So even if you got eagle eyes earlier, you're better off letting it sit and improving your spell skills. (even if you have the patience to sit and cast knock over and over, your other realms will lag w/o skill points).
