Hi, I’ve just hit level 80 and now I have no idea what to do.

Through leveling I’ve mainly been LB/SB and on the last 10 or so levels, LB/GS with a 30/30/0/0/10 build.

LB is my favourite weapon and I’d like to ‘main’ it, so I’m wondering what stats/gear I should be trying to get and what other weapon would you recommend alongside a LB.

As I’ve just hit 80, I imagine I’ll be doing quite a lot of PvE to gain the gear but I’ve a keen interest in WvW too. Hopefully the community can help me out.

Thanks.

You should try to make a balanced build (around 1500 toughness and 19000 health), although with a focus on power and critical chance. Leveling a Ranger can make you feel like you have a lot of survivability, because the pet does a lot of tanking, but in WvW, no one is going to be targeting your pet.

You should also get all the quickness you can get; Quickening Zephyr, Zephyr’s Speed (trait), Sigil of Rage. This will improve the damage output of your longbow and greatsword a lot.

I’m using 30/25/10/0/5 – 10 in toughness tree gives me faster endurance regen and redirects one CC to my pet once every 90 sec.

Ive been running this build in borderlands for a while. The only change i make is to replace lightning reflex with signet of the hunt for running solo or muddy terrain for helping zergs with a little crowd control. But i try to fight with lightning reflexs on the bar.
