Guild Wars 2

Wolfey.3407:

Ranger:
-Signet of Stone
-Point Blank Shot
-Hilt Bash
-Protect me
-Wolf Fear
-Hope your pet does a knock down at the right time if able

Just for completeness:

Wolf fear isn’t really practical for interrupting RF. In an emergency I guess it’s ok.

Better would be axe5 or GS4 which will prevent 100% of the damage. Then a bunch of other skills to stop most of the damage, or all of it when chained.

Wolfey.3407:

For the players with a mental disability in regards to the Ranger Long bow.
…..

Ranger:
- Signet of Stone – Cool down is too long to waste on one rapid fire. Its better to dodge/evade, and use this in an emergency, like if he knocks you down or immobilizes you then uses Rapid Fire.
- Protect me – Same as signet of Stone, why would you waste this on one skill with an 8 second cool down?
- Any CC skill – wasting a cc skill on a longer cooldown to shutdown 1 skill on a shorter cool down is always a bad idea. These are better used for closing the gap, escaping, or interrupting the player when they try to use a healing skill.
- Wolf Fear also, using Drakehound or Spider immobilize then running to the side to close the gap does wonderful things.
- Hope your pet does a knock down at the right time if able – Hope isn’t a counter.
[get rid of that vuln stacks]
- Whirling Defense Make him switch weapons.
- Path of Scars While this counts as ‘any cc skill’….Pull him close and make him switch weapons. Space this and whirling defense apart so you at least have one off cool down.
- Dodge/Evade/block – 4 of our weapons have an evade, One has a block, and we have a lot of access to vigor. Use it!

Added stuff for you, and added a critique to the other stuff. Most of what you are saying you think works, will actually hurt you if the fights lasts longer than 8-10 seconds.

Aren’t the arrows gonna land where you are walking to? Means if you just dance left and right he will automaticly miss?

All great ways…

Although, for the most part when im playing ranger… ill avoid 900 range like the plague vs any class… so at least in my case a lot of these counters arent needed

If im in 900 range, im not looking to use #2 on my longbow, rather my greatsword to disengage or finish.

I dont think the issue people have with rapid fire is how to counter it.

Anticpating a Warroir gs Whirl attack Side Stepping/one dodge (though Side stepping is much more effective and won’t waste a dodge)then turning a rapid fire while Strafing is one more use to keep the arrows Straight.

though a Warroir shouldn’t be using Whirling as a Attack but a methord to Regain ground if Rush misses.

just running a pair of axe is enought to troll most ranger in pvp because not only is that build centralised around pet damage (wich btway will run after the opposing ranger and deals it constant heavy damage, but the LB ranger prety much suicide attack on you to use 80% of its ability.
