these cheap full glass longbow rangers Expect the same defences as other full zerk classes that come with Skills that defend themselfs on the weapons like shield / hammer / staff / walls / obsidian flesh / magnetic shield ect.

rangers don’t have those and those builds need to incorporate more than just power + % damage boosts , take Natutes protection instead of Spirit to stength it only gives you 85-100 power if your on full zerg specs(no valk specs) , the class is better off with Natures protection.

stop using 6,5,0,3 with no defence points , it just makes you a sitting duck.
use Sword+ dagger + natures protection , 6,4,4,0 Signet of renewal + sigil of clenseing or Generosity , take pets that support Longbow / sword combat not just a dps pets:p

Use a soimoth or a Furn wolf / spider+ Blue moa for protection . then you can take better utilities than Protect me / Signet of stone , take a flame trap for Area denial vs theifs using it as a locator and deteriant, can be used to stack might from a fire aura people will try to zerk you down because you are a zerker , using the sword and dagger to build might while evading combat and if they hit you , it generates more power , more than that 100 power from stength to spirit.

this so called Full zerk 6,5,0,3,0 is the worst WvW build i’ve ever seen and the pets people choose don’t support it at all., and copy cats encourage this build even more only to find out it lacks in spades.
