Nearly level 30 and it seems harder to find good armor. Most drop I get is light and Heavy armor

Ya, I'm in SoS. My ID is cressalve.5241. But you can PM me ingame by the name Eira Dunedain. I'll be on after 5pm usually. Gimme a holler ya?

At first I just leveling my craft casually as i got mats from my travels and quests. Then I craft all the raw materials until it gives me no exp, then I start using discovery pane to craft. It gives superb exp.

an article about Ranger... looks like we have the first love... lol

guide on Pets. Be careful about using the exploits that is taught in the video though. especially the neverending increasing buff and the oppa unlimited plasma buff.

PS: just to compare to other class

Just rolled 1 Human Ranger here I starting to love ranger more and more.

my full grenth set, gonna use it highly on pvp atm. gonna craft Berserker's Emblazoned set mainly for pve. farming matts for legendary longbow, shortbow, axe and warhorn.

edit: the ruby orb is pretty nice. i'm using 5 of them on the 42k karma equip. i added the stat so u guys can see what it change.

What weps build you guys prefer to use? Shortbow seems nice for quick attack and long bow for high damage

Believe it or not, I use both. I swap em when I feel the timing is right. Why no melee weapon? Because I can XD And there's a reason too

what im using

pvp- longbow/shortbow

pve- longbow/axe.horn

SPvP - Shortbow / Sword+Dagger (sword and dagger got reallly nice skill because of the free evade)

WvW - Shortbow / Longbow

PvE - Shortbow / Sword + Warhorn (change to L.bow sometimes)

my current stats, 30/30/10

waiting to craft the other 4 piece of berseker set.

Just reached lvl 10 as Ranger. Busy hor.. Only can play an hour or two per day.

I have 10 skill points remain unused. Dunno should invest on which skills..
Can you guys point me out? Ultility and Healing Skills. Using shortbow and switch between longbow as main weps

I like Longbow for PvP, Shortbow for PvE.

Maybe going to try Longbow/Shortbow for PvP, Shortbow/Greatsword for PvE.

Only use Longbow/Shortbow combo for both.

eh melee ranger not viable ooo both pve and spvp etc.

dual wield axe is quite nice, 1st 4 skill is axe throwing skill.. the last skill (slot5) is kinda melee, and block projectile as well... cyclone axe iirc the name

pure melee probably viable in sPVP since it is a quite a crowded area of fighting... i found that i dont like sword, coz i always confuse with the 2nd skill (sting)....

wrong, they are really viable especially the burst built rangers (GS)...
they have burst almsot as high as GS warriors with more utility...

the sword/ dagger build on the other hand is one of the best point holding build due to the number of free evades together with 6sec invulnerability

I beg to differ. I have a sPvP ranger with GS as well as a shortbow or longsword + dagger/torch/horn depending on my mood of the day. Works out quite well I dare say.

The torch deals conds which is in one of my personal builds to deal max conds as well as holding up fairly easily against another guy (1v1..anything other than that will need more help especially mesmers...thoes are annoying.)

Shortbow DPS is higher than Longbow.
Shortbow + Tanker PET
Shortbow is great for Critical Build. Think dota drow ranger...

Melee i use sword, larger spread + 1 handed.
( your offhand can give stat bonus. )
Offhand - torch ( the 5th skill for torch is good AOE dmg )
Rush into a group of mobs, burn the land with Torch, swing your sword,
when you go down, aim the lowest hp mobs, Kill him, stand up with 50% hp, heal, repeat.
