I’m looking for general tips about all 3 areas, PvE, PvP, WvW
I’m a bit mixed up on traits and good weapons and all, I’m level 48 so far and I’m loving Longbow/Greatsword if there’s any tips to build around that combo greatly appreciated!
Definitely gonna spec into Druid when I hit 80 but for now I’m a normal Ranger but I am loving this class so far!

I recommend taking marksmanship and beast master. The Remorseless trait combos well with the GS master lvl trait.

For PvE either zerk support or condi support.
For zerk i mainly run this http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vNAQNAW8Xn0rCtqgVsA2sCEtil9AjZgFwGBwx176ed52FAGdlY8wA-ThRBABA8EAwT3wV7PK/MTJIlq/8wFBgUARsMC-e
(swap Signet of the Wild to whatever you want)
(staff can be swapped to LB if you want to)

For condi (which is also highest personal DPS for druid so far) i use this http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vNAQNAV3fn0rCtqgNrA2sCEtiFDBjJAsuaAwb1waZtpDEsqalMsxA-TRSFQBKZ5hGqMYkKBBwFBgYK9u2OAJ4JA0OdD9T9HSBso0I-e

For WvW my favorite build so far is this http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vNAQJAWRnUqA1CiNsA+CCctgFPBzZv1pGcwp0XaO9ZFEASYl8s0A-TRCEwAtU/J5+DAuAAEeAAMV+tVJYbdBQOEAMOCAkCQQdWA-e
(staff can be swapped to LB if you want to)

For PvP so far i run pretty much the same others do because of it’s self/group sustaining ability and more tanky-ish/sustained fights.
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vNAQJAWRnUqA1CiNsA+rActglZB7JAUn+WORt5UWD+fWQfolMtzA-TpBFABAcBAa4QA02DAQk9H6vMACHBAA

Grace of the land (druid grand master trait) Spirits, Glyph of Empowerment and Spotter are Ranger specific party support skills which make ranger a good pick for the team.
Glyph of Unity must be used in astral form to heal allies fast.
Staff is a better pick over LB even with Berserker gear because it will allow you to build up astral force faster and hence heal/buff more frequently.
However LB has higher raw DPS over staff.

There are combos you can do, but that’s for another time.
