Let us talk about Bleed Build Rangers
Either Jungle Stalker, or Red Moa. The Jungle Stalker has Mighty Roar and the Moa has Furious Screech, each is awesome for enhancing your total bleed output.
Now for skills, Sharpening Stone, and Quickening Zephyr are amazing with the short bow, as for your epic go with Rampage As One. You will have one skill slot to use as you wish I personally use Lightning Reflexes.
The weapon you will use is obviously the short bow.

I like using the devourer with the f2 bleed to stack up more bleeds. for a pet.
blackgate
Eagle is nice for bleeds.. mixed with sharpening stone and spike trap I have no trouble getting a lot of them pulsing very quickly.
Is what I usually run. I went 20 points into marks instead of maxing out skirmishing because I found the piercing arrows to be way more effective in group situations than a faster trap recharge. Even though I only have ~15k health with this build, the toughness makes up for it, and allows heals on me to be more effective.
Shortbow with Axe/warhorn.
build – Bleeds on crits, Pets do more damage on crits, increased duration of bleeds, 10% more dmg from flank (Shortbow bleeds on flank also)
Weapons – Shortbow bleeds, fast damage, slow down attacks.
– Axe/warhorn AOE auto-attack, slow attack, bird attack and AOE buff.
utilities – Quickening Zepher – Increases attack speed for 4s, Sharpening stone next 5 attacks apply bleeds, Spike trap another slow + bleeds.
Pet – Dog, spider or eagle – Dog immobilises, Spider ranged immobilise and Eagle applies more bleeds
That usually gets me +10 stacks of bleed per target if not more, Kite them till they down.

Your link seems to be not working.
Hey,
With regards to a bleed build, I tend to run much the same as the “cookie cutter” build.. i think!
Traits are a little bit personal, but my general build is 5/30/25/10/0. This may be a little unorthodox, but I find that the Opening Strikes I get helps out at the start of the fight, especially if my QZ is up.
Also, to justify the 10 points in Nature Magic, 5 points gets Regeneration and then the 10 points will increase the regeneration duration I think this aids with my survivability. I think I have around 18k hp with Runes of the Nightmare and Sigils of Earth on the Shortbow along with Accuracy on my Sword/Warhorn.
Generally, I run with with QZ, Muddy Terrain and Sharpening Stones. I’ve played around with changing Sharpening Stones out, but I feel they offer too much of a damage increase.
I’ve attempted to run with extra bleed pets such as the lashtail devourer, but I feel that dual spiders with immobilize seriously aids in the length of time I can live! Also, I feel that these two immobilizes aid in getting behind my opponent and flanking them – I feel positioning is much more valuable than a few extra bleeds from a pet.
I hope this has helped
another things you bleeding guys might want to considder:
- sigil of the geomancer (on any weapon): if you switch to this weapon in combat you apply bleed. Put it on both your weapons and switch when you get the chance ^^

The focus of my spec isn’t just for bleeds but for condition damage in general because I run a pve trapper build (Note: I do not use this same spec for pvp).
I use “Superior Sigil of Earth” for the bleed on crit proc.
I am a PvE trap ranger that uses “Spike Trap”, “Flame Trap”, and “Frost Trap” for my utility skills.
I use a 10/30/30/0/0 build: http://gw2.luna-atra.fr/skills_tool/?lang=en&code=36i0007b1rgt12mcaeauu003d3j3k3sg3g4g8
I go 10 mark for 10% cnd duration and the 10% more damage when full endurance, 30 skirm for the two trapper traits and sharpened edges, and 30 wilderness survival for the toughness/cnd dmg and for survivability traits such as oakheart salve, bark skin, and soften the fall.
I run 6/6 Superior Runes of the Undead for the toughness/condition damage and for the conversion of 5% toughness → condition damage.
I use black bear pet for aoe weakness and carrion devourer for poison field/poison auto attack.
