Hey this is my build, I don’t really know what I am doing and would like some help. I am looking to play WvW and want to be giving as many boons to everyone around me. I want high survive ability and don’t really care about damage.

That’s a very high survivability build, but I’m not sure that it really contributes anything meaningful beyond keeping you alive. Boon duration is okay if you are using warhorn, but boon support really isn’t a Ranger forté… Obviously even low damage output trumps the glass cannon bursting strategy over time if the cannon dies, but going that low I’m not sure anyone will feel your attacks.

You would be much better off investing some of the gear and traiting into condition damage/duration or power and making good use of piercing arrows. 1k condition damage makes for an effective attack baseline, and 1600 toughness is a good defense baseline.
