I even have the strategy guide and I think it just confused me. Like with the Samurai, it says to build up (from top to bottom) Int, Dex, Spd, Str, and Vit.
I'm pretty sure this is not the order you would use, right?

I didn't even know that a strategy guide exists.
Actually that matches pretty well (though I'd probably reverse DEX and SPD) with my typical use of the Samurai as a caster, i.e. you don't have another Mage-book caster, but you do have another melee type (or two), and you want your Samurai to be able to cast Mage-book spells well throughout the game, and are willing to sacrifice some melee capability for the magic. Or in an all-hybrid party, where the same considerations apply. I'd guess that the guide recommends that kind of Samurai because the assumption is that the reason you chose a hybrid in the first place is because you want decent spell-casting ability.

What would be your prime concern for a Ranger who will be doing mostly shooting from the back? Spd and Dex?

For a shooting Ranger, I'd max SPD and SEN first, then DEX and INT. With high SPD and a decent bow (not crossbow), the Ranger will be shooting 2x2 within a dozen levels or so. If you also expect your (Mook) Ranger to use that big long sword, raise STR instead of INT.
