A revision of my pre HoT condi ranger
They really need to do a better job buffing shortbow, the direct damage is crap.
I took your build and messed around with it a bit and this is what I would run (based on your original build).

Staff will help with rotating/escapes, plus it offers stealth and helps increase the regen of celestial.
I swapped SoR with SotW since it will give you access to stab, regen your cele form faster, which will let you use druidic clarity several times more often than the cooldown of SoR would allow you to use it.
Flame trap is just a personal preference since the cooldown is so much shorter. With immobilizes popping fairly often , and since you are fighting over a point, it is pretty easy to dish out some damage with it. Plus between that and a quickdraw bonfire you will be doing some serious on point pressure.
I went rabid over viper because with these weapons the precision will come in a lot more handy than the power.
Oh I also went with smokescale/wolf for the utility they offer and their help in procing ancient seeds.
Thanks Puck for the input, I will try it out.
No prob. Hopefully 1 day they will un nerf the SB and make it useful again. There’s just no real reason to take it at the moment. I was having fun with it when you could use it to proc ancient seeds ×5 but I completely gave up on it after they fixed that.

This is the bleed build druid i originally came up with. Should be done rendering soon.
