Guild Wars 2

Question’s in the title, I’m looking for a ranger build that gives the highest possible DPS in a dungeon/PvE area. Thanks.

Would like to have either longbow or shortbow included in the setup.

Reroll thief/warrior.

What the guy above me said.

Those two don’t know what they are talking about. I out DPS people all the time, and have my pet revive the downed.

Use full bersker glass cannon with the longbow and shortbow

Pets: Brown Bear + Arctodus

30/30/5/0/5

Utilize your quickness with barrage + sharpening stone (puts 5 stacks on 5 targets). Also utilize piercing arrows (line up your shots to hit multiple targets).

Best combo: Get fury > Barrage + Quickening Zypher > Rapid Fire (Line up your shot) > Weapon Swap to shortbow (adds more fury) + Pet Swap for quickness > Spam #1 > Repeat.

Your key to staying alive is “Protect Me”, Dodge Rolls, and Distance.

I use the berserker speck
I go short bow/ axe and war horn as weapons
I go spirit ranger in dungeons but if you want top Dps you take frost spirit, quickening zephyr and sun spirit. For elite skills I take rampage as one
Take the Mao bird that gives critical chance and whatever you want
For traits I go 30 marksman, 30 skirmishing and 5 beastmastery
When it’s it time to unload swap axe warhorn activate spirits and rampage as one, use warhorn 5 then warhorn 4. Now swap to short bow do a pet swap for the quickness, activate pet ability and just as

Oh excellent, I got impatient and started setting up myself, I ended up with the same build as this and it’s really nice DPS, only difference was the pets, I was using wolf for fear and hyena for double KD. Thanks

First off i am not saying you or rangers for that matter can’t do good dps in pve. however you might want to rethink the part where you said you out dps people all the time. as far as i know there is not a full combat log in this game which also means there are no dps meters in this game. so there is no way to support such a claim.

Since any pet dies due to agony or area damage anyway you can just as well go full beastmastery with panther/lynx or whatever out. Use traits to let them heal on crit, have natural regen trait, have the you/pet natural regen signet running, use trait pet has bigger heals, use pet heals on crits and you’ll see your dps fly up big time. No ranger spec not relying on pet can out dps that. Thats constant crits of 1k and up extra from your pet.
My cat only dies due to agony or crazy big hits in fractals at least. Since my bear also dies then i figured i could just as well go the highest dps pet to up my dps big time.
