Guild Wars 2

Hi!

I really like the Ranger – and I particularly love the Ranger’s GS.

I also really like the short bow with the ranger.

Is there a solid PvE build out there that has good survivability and is good with use of the GS and SB?
(I would be willing to go long bow if it would be that much more beneficial)

I like the look and idea of traps, so if a trap build would work, that would be great. If not, not a problem – I like most of the ranger utility skills.

I was thinking maybe a trap build like this?

Or a signet build like this?

Are either of these good? Or good for what I’m looking for? Is one better than the other?

Sorry, could anyone please just share a build of theirs that is similar to what I’m looking for? It would be greatly appreciated!

Stop bumping your post.. against the rules man.

…do I just not get help or something? It’s not an irrelevant rage post or anything, I just want some help.

They both look ok to me, but personally I would rather put 20 points in skirmishing over nature magic in the second build, with bleed on crits and reduced timers on shortbow, you’ll gain more damage over the 5% sword trait but lose vitality some regen and protection, up to you if it’s worth I guess.
