The post has one of the best Bow builds I have seen.
I have a couple of rangers I use for WvW.
1. Zerker gear/glass cannon/longbow/sb 30/30/10/0/0… have around 50-60% crit chance with around 80-90% crit damage, typically run spiders as pets. This ranger is good for piercing attacks through massed foes. Barrage from LB is the central weapon, useful against those on the walls, or those sieging walls, or in the middle of a pack to slow retreat. If there is any large scale action or keep taking/defense, this is the one I play. I use healing spring, RaO, muddy terrain, speed trinket, condition removal trinket. You must be aware of position at all times, evade and fall back in the face of a threat.
2. SB 20/20/0/0/30 magic finder build with wolves. I run around in MF gear and flip camps, kill sentries solo. I get my daily done on this while putting pressure on undefended camps etc. This guy is not very strong in any kind of 1 on 1 matchup. You can do a lot with a strong pet, sent it in, get aggro, pull it out, pet swap to dump adds, and take out one guy at a time. I went with piercing arrows and faster short bow attacks which allow you to line up several targets and bring them down at the same time.
I have heard of bunker builds (0/0/30/10/30) in which you run defensive gear and let your pet do the damage (typically cats), and you build for regeneration. Your damage is weak and limited to pet burst from jaguar, but you are hard to kill. My experience is they are bad for flipping camps as DPS is so low that someone will likely arrive before you finish. I would much rather run my guardian who in a strong altrusitic healing build with a hammer can put out DPS and survive.
I have heard trap builds are fine where you drag people into your traps, and you use entangle etc. I really hate giving up the run speed trinket, and I really hate not having the condition removal trinket, but I suppose you could dump both for more traps. Entangle is a real game changer at times; RaO means you can avoid CC and get away from bad situations.
This happened to me an hour ago, I immediately thought of this post and the Ranger community and put this together =P

Come on, you can’t just leave this video here and not explain! Are those 2 really that bad or do you have 1000 health regen per second?
