Criticize my build (sPvP only)
I wouldn’t run it. You said it yourself, no condi removal. The current meta is condi spam for good reason. 30 in WS is practically required in every ranger build if you want to be useful.
I wouldn’t go into any 1v1 situations with this build, but it could work as a support build, if you get Stone Spirit instead of “Protect Me!”, and Healing Spring instead of Troll Unguent. Then maybe get Nature’s Vengeance or Nature’s Bounty, instead of Strength of Spirit. The Brown Bear can give you a source of condition removal.

I would not run a ranger in pvp without 30 in WS for emp bond. Without condi removal you will melt against any condition class.
Barrage? really?
Everytime I see a fellow Ranger use that in tPvP…I just chuckle and stomp them. I don’t think I’ve EVER seen it successfully used one time. Most Rangers drop it right on top of themselves when they have hardly any HP left..gg that really hurts.
Other than that, yes the condi removal is a big no-no and I would also drop TU for HS.
It’s an interesting build, but I think you’re going to end up getting stomped with it(a lot).
I don’t like your piercing arrows or longer range traits. VERY unnecessary in spvp, take spotter in place of longer range. And unless you reaaaaaly like it, replace piercing with something else. Also, you HAVE to have condition removal in spvp, without 30 in WS that gives you healing spring or sig of renewal.
Scholar runes are ok, but I found with ranger, you’re rarely at over %90 health, so runes of the ranger is nice. But really scholar runes are probably fine.
