Dinged my Asura Ranger 80 earlier today, now I am looking for some advice.
-What stats?
-Build for PvE? Max dps or more supporting?
-Pet?

Test them out Lohko

While I was leveling up my Ranger I tried to be as supportive as possible but then the “Rogue/Assassin” came out of me and wanted to go full DPS and crit the kitten out of everything i saw. It was fun for a short while and I still go back to it from time to time. Right now, i’m loving my somewhat support/dps build because now i’m able to stay alive longer and help allies when down during dungeons/fractals.

As for pets… get all of them and experiment which one works best for the way you play. I use bears for everything and sometimes switch to Drake or Lynx. Spiders are nice for their range if your pet can’t get over an obstacle in PvE situations.

Crit Build/DPS = Power/Prec/Crit

Support/DPS = mix between Power/Vitality/Crit Damage and Power/Toughness/Vitality

I’m loving the S/D ranger for dungeons. Melee though is not a good option for dungeons unless you can time your dodges correctly.

As Ampy said, experimenting is the best way to find your style. I’m currently trying a full Power/Toughness/Healing (Cleric) armor set with precision upgrades mainly for utilizing the BM 25 trait (10% of healing is converted to power). With this, I hope to increase my survivability when fighting melee range during bosses.

I really love how the sword and dagger works, it has a great skill animation and mechanic. Unfortunately compared to other classes, you would rather rely on your pet for damage than go in melee and die. I hope sword rangers can get some sort of buff allowing more survivability vs dungeon bosses and not game breaking other PvX aspects.

I’m sure some of us will get tired of the stand-in-one-spot-bow-auto-attack style.

Yeah that is one of the basics to start off your Ranger. CoF is a nice one for zerker gear.
