Ehh. Are you trying to go full zerk?

You shouldn’t have runes of the trooper if you aren’t using shouts.

You can’t stack 2 stats. pick either corruption or momentum… tho neither make sense if you’re trying to go full damage.

Axe mh isn’t good for zerker builds. Warhorn is weak overall imo. Its mainly used for group support.

Try longbow/greatsword instead.

You’re kind of lacking focus in your build. I see no synergy with the runes as you’re not running any shouts, and the very small amount of condition gear confuses me. It’s not going to have any impact on your condition damage and condi longbow doesn’t seem to make a lot of sense. I get that it works with axe, but I don’t think it’s what you’re after. For longbow main-set, I’d recommend something like this, which is what I’m currently using and finding to be very effective. It does require some practice as it is on the glassier side.

SotW is replaceable with SoS, although I like the stability and damage, and the gear is more or less a suggestion. Valkyrie parts can be considered if you want. Get familiar with quick-swapping GS as a defensive weapon for blocking projectiles on 4 and the evade/escape.

What purpose in wvw? Are you running around shooting people down? Are you running with friends or zergs? Do you want to be glass or have staying power?

You really don’t want to invest in condition damage as you don’t have any condition pressure really. Also, a lot of the skirmishing traits really aren’t that great so enter this tree with a purpose other than increasing precision and ferocity.

I like the spider for immobilizing foes. And yea, trooper runes are a no go on ranger; their shouts aren’t too hot. I also like to have 3 points in wilderness knowledge for protection on dodge roll which increases survivability greatly. You can always take Hunter’s tactics instead of a second WS trait of course.

For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards,
for there you have been and there you will long to return.

Not my style. What I would change:
- rune of ranger
- troll unguent heal
- greatsword or sword/warhorn or sword/dagger
- sigil of bloodlust on melee weapon set
- sigil of air on longbow (instead of corruption) ( you can’t have 2 different stacking sigils!)
- All Berserker Accessories and Backpiece

That’s about it. I’m still running a different build, but they’re only small differences which mostly come down to personal preference. For example, I use Red Moa(Fury) and Brown Bear(condition removal).
