New Ranger wit some questions
gosh. its kind of a lot to explain. please someone link them a guide or something. I have a headache just thinking about everything.
Bad Elementalist
Man, you talking world boss train and random open world events? Because… if that’s the case… You just take whatever because PHyouW.
I run 6/5/1/2/0 most of the time… if not all the time in open world and most dungeons/fractals… I run all the dps (direct damage) boosting traits.
Traits depend on the encounter/fight. For utilities I normally have Qz, the regen signet for burst and frost spirit (untraited). RaO for the elite just about always (except for grawl shaman fractal, then I put on entangle). I either take the troll one or healing spring depending, again, on the situation coming up.
Weapons I usually run LB/GS or LB/Sword+Axe or Sword+Warhorn. Again, depends on the encounter/fight I’m about to get into what weapon I’m gonna bring. I also bring one of everyone weapon combo I can have so that I’m never without the weapon I need for the encounter/fight I’m about to get into. I made the ascended torch and never ever use. Hell, I have the Dreamer and I haven’t used it for anything but the LOLOL’s for many months.
I also use either cats or drakes depending on the encounter in dungeons/all level fractals. Again, open world just run whatever you want… but those two are pretty much the only ones I use. Unless the party is lacking fury, then I break out the red moa.
for your pets I like Jungle Stalker for the might stacks, and a Drake for the Combo: Blast on call (it’s the first ability Drakes do when activated) for PvE.

Spotter, Frost spirit & sword/horn(or torch-just got buffed it’s nice combo w/sword-, but a 3rd utility can be used too for fire trap/combo fire). http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Fire_field), sword/axe, healing spring (condition removal, but not to be used to replace a fire field w/water field unless you want to blast it for a aoe heal), SoTW, 3rd utility I like to swap (fire trap, QZ, Sick’em, etc..) depending on the fight, elite RAO, zerk gear.
That is close or may be the meta (PvE dungeon/fotm) now, I don’t run Dungeons & FoTM anymore.
For open world PvE/WvW play as you want and try many things to fit your playstyle (favorite weapon type, stat setup). I enjoy a celest/trap build, and I swap traits, weapons, pets, depending on fights with enough might stacking, & crit (80%) I can get away with.
hope it helps, welcome to GW2~

you will get bored pretty fast just pewpewing 100% of the time.
Pickup the two trap traits and flame, spike, venom traps. Use madking runes and eliteskill entangle. Gotta get some variety of play or you will fall asleep at keyboard.
Strictly speaking solo openworld pve. Don’t be afraid to swap to offset. For that I like using hydromancy sigil. Thinking about putting on an earth ring sigil thing too for maximum flashy lol.
Torch is kinda bad. If you like sword I would say axe or warhorn for openworld pve. Me I like gs.
Dps pets: birds, cats, red moa, river drake
Defensive: fern hound, brownbear, wolf
stylish only: carrion devourer

Brown Bear. You need to use Brown Bear.
ty to all that respond to my question after i read all i realy had the headace like frowny so can any1 link me some build off the skills cuz i realy messd up evrything
Gotejjeken is kidding by the way. People who use bears are a running joke. Most of your choices are on the right track.
Just keep doing your own thing and use this when you get to end-game:

Hey guys.I’m new at the game and i have some questions that i need advices and i hope players will help me.
So my first question is about my skills.I play most PvE and solo wit Longbow.At the moment i have using this skills : Signet of the wild , Quick Zephyr , Signest of the hunt , Rampage as one , and for healing i use Troll Unguent.Do i need to change skills for better DPS at solo PvE and if i need to change something please tell me how to build to have better dps.
My second question is about the Traits.I start the build wit Marksmenship and Skrimishing.Do this 2 is the right way for the dps PvE or i need to change ??
Other question is for the secondary weapons what is the best choice ? At the moment i use short sword and torch.Some other idea or to stay on this 2 ?
Last question is for the best pet to use.At the moment im using the Wolf cuz i dont know what to use and i dont have something else then the Wolf and the Snow Leopard.
I will be very glad if you guys respond to me and help me to make good ranger.
Analyse your own class first and you will find your answers, you have to do it one day anyway or you already did it but just need to reflect on it.
good luck
