Honestly, when you do explorable mode bosses, your pets get one shotted even if you play your cards right. A nice example is Subject Alpha from CoE exploration mode. Doesn't really matter what kind of pet, pets in this game are too dumb to dodge red circles

u do have range pet u know lolx

Still die although not as fast as melee pets. And melee pets > ranged pets in terms of damage. Nowadays, hardly bother to send pets into battle, just keep them passive and let them buff group instead.

Shortbow bleed and speed is not a joke. Switching between sword and sb here. Condition damage are good for sb in pve but what stat should I look for in pvp? Pure power or crit/pecision how?

Now that you've mentioned that. Recently I've changed my pet roll call from dual bears to dual lashtails. great range atks since bosses usually one shot any melee pets, even the tanky bears lol Lashtails has been great range companion of mine hoho but, using them u need to quickly toggle back to me/atk target when the enemy chase you down. Oh, and yes, I like to have 2 of the same type of pet at a time since i swap em every 20 secs for the 2 sec zephyr boon.

Quick Zephyr turns a shortbow into machine gun. I likey the speed

i'm playing Support Spirit Ranger now in WvWvW... feels good to be able to support your team mates, especially when you're not good at fighting... lol

my spirit ranger traits : Skirmish=10, Wilderness Survival=30, Natures Magic=30

the spirits are following me everywhere now !

My wife is loving her pink piggy pet... comes with a knockdown... can tank quite decently...

And..... she can find items... eggs, healing seed, skulls etc

Yes, the F2 skill for boars is kinda weird, keeps finding the most bizarre things that are sometimes not very useful at all

She dont like the boar... use the pink piggy... same stats... and yes... she have fun spamming the "Find Weapon" once awhile... we get a good laugh out of it. I like the healing seed, grows into a tree that aoe heals... impressive

crafted the corrupted greatbow. anyone working on legendary longbow? xD

Guys which order you pick for your ranger? Vigil or Order of Whisper?

I plan to go for Vigil for the armor looks but it seems not fitting for ranger.. I like straight forward combat than sneaky also

I chose whispers for a very obvious reason.

The Order of Whisper master is

Any of you put points to Nature magic? I was wondering if Rejuvenation actually works at all, it said you gain regeneration when health reaches 75%, I believe quite a few times my health did drop to 75% or below but never see that I gain any regeneration

No, none in Nature's magic. Just the first 3.

10 points in Nature Magic just because, aside from extra HP, all first major traits are very useful

I usually switch between Nature's Protection (more damage mitigation) and Strength of Spirit (more attack power) depending on the situation

Hi there. Norm Ranger here. joined Order of Whisper. but still far away from level 80.

my fav weapon is switching short - long bow, since i have bear tank and summons so melee is not a prob in dynamic quest, except for bosses or PvP.

I might try broadsword - shortbow for PvP or WvW. any comment on this?

Anybody have any idea what are good weapons for huge aoe? I can only think of the longbow one and let's face it longbow can't hold up in PvP.
