Hello guys, i wonder if anyone can help me to make my ranger build.
i’m at lvl 80, and use a berserker set and trinkets. My idea is use longbow in main weapon and shortbow on secundary.

My equips are focused on atk power and critical. any tip?

A few thoughts. Can explain in more detail but let’s not overwhelm.

1. Berserker gear is a power damage set. LB is a solid power damage bow. SB is logically a condition bow, though some advanced players can coax it into a power build. You will find that GS, Sword/Horn are a bit more power oriented.

2. Two bows often struggles when you are an initial ranger. Think about a one hander and an off hand. Try balancing your style between range and melee.

3. Because power and critical are in two lines and will need to be traited, you will have precious few points for defense (given your preferred set) so you want to think carefully about how you take utilities and pets to make up for your lack of healing and toughness. You will be very glass cannon focused.

4. PvE and zerker work well because the mob’s attention can be focused on the frontline or pet. Spvp is a limited number v limited number and zerker builds can work well, though not really at holding points. In large scale WvW, zerker builds are very difficult for new players to stay alive. You simply take too much damage too fast.

High damage is the way of getting to level 80, but at 80 you often want to start by getting used to a far more defensive build where damage is more condition focused at least initially to get exposed to the difference in how it plays/survives.

As for dungeons, doing some criticals is not a problem, the build i linked actually has 100% crit chance. But LB, hat one is a problem as it is just bad, like, really bad. There is not a single situation in any dungeon or fractal where you would go longbow. And for gods sake, please dont go conditions.
In regards of your question, sword is the main source of dps, like bosses and such, but for the rest like running from point a to b you use greatsword for #3. Also for groups of trash because gs is the best weapon for stacking bloodlust. And lastly you start every fight with greatsword, Maul → Swap, Sword auto attack. That means you will actually see the greatsword more than the sword.
