I recently just capped my third character, giving me a mesmer, warrior and necro. I know this is going to sound ridiculous, but I’ve had the greatsaw greatsword skin and the black widow pet I never used and was considering using both to make a ranger as my next character.

Yeah, I’ve heard bad things about rangers in general, but after seeing one or two in pvp that were surprisingly really good, I kinda wanted to try one out for myself. Is anyone here experienced with rangers? If so, I’m thinking about using Greatsword and rifle with black widow and white raven, any advice?

Ranger cannot use Rifle. Try longbow. =]

If you want to use a rifle you’re going to be disappointed. Ranger is more of a naturalist class as opposed to a “ranged” fighter. Rifles and pistols aren’t natural, and as a result rangers don’t use them. I would suggest just playing the ranger first before trying to get a solid build. Get a feel for the class, because ranger isn’t easy to play. You can run a good build, but if you aren’t affiliated with the class, you won’t preform well with it.


It is not what you do, but how and why you do it that counts.

So you’re a new ranger, inevitably you’re going to run LB/GS. Something about that weapon set attracts the newbies… if someone could explain to me this phenomenon I would appreciate it.

Link to build discussion. If you insist on running greatsword I would recommend Prysin’s build. There are other solid builds further down if you want to mess around. Feel free to pop into the ranger forums! It’s not all QQ… ok most of it is QQ but there are some hidden gems like this.
