Any help would be great I plan to solo alot but on my other classes I usually group so with this class I will mostly solo. thanks if any helps comes my way

• Focus on Crit/Crit Damage, Power, and Condition Damage in that order.

• Put at least 20 points in Marks for Piercing Shots. Put 25 points in Skirmishing for Sharpened Edges and Quick Shots. Put at least 10 points into Wilderness Survival for Wilderness Knowledge. Put 5 points into Beast Mastery for the minor trait, which is amazing. The rest of the traits are up to you.

• Take Healing Spring as your heal for group PvE. Take Troll Unguent for solo PvE. Take Quickening Zephyr and Sharpening Stone for DPS. Last utility is up to you. Flame Trap is nice for AoE damage. Signet of Renewal is nice for condition removal. Lightning Reflexes is nice for survivability. Take Rampage as One for your elite – big damage and an extra swiftness buff for running from place to place.

• Use Shortbow no matter what. Use Axe/Warhorn for solo PvE because of the quickness buff. Use Longbow for group AoE situations.

Have fun!

Mouse certainly isn’t wrong, but there are other builds that work equally well imo. Something else to add, bear pets are really good for soloing in pve. It takes a lot to kill them. Drakes are also really tough and they all have nice aoe attacks. The 5 stacks of might from Jungle stalker lets you really gank a group of mobs if need be as well. If you go Mouse’s route, your pets won’t be able to tank for you as well. A beastmastery build with other lines can work really well for pve as well. It’s what I run personally and I plow through content (general pve, not dungeons).

Aside from that, absolutely agree with what he said on heals/utility/elites. Muddy Terrain can also be nice for certain situations, as well as frost trap. Shortbow and axe/warhorn are good. Personally I prefer Longbow+axe/axe for doing a lot of AOE damage, as I find it allows me to take down a lot of mobs quickly, but to each his own. Sword/Horn+shortbow is my preferred weapon combo for soloing vets or champs though.

My best advice would be to stop worrying about all these rules of “what is the best”. Play your Ranger the way you want to, and just enjoy yourself. That’s all you need to do. Stats, skills, gear, all these things can be easily changed, if you decide that you want to play a different way.

Honestly the best thing you can do is to use EVERYTHING. Play the class (the first 20 levels it honestly doesn’t matter what you use) every way and determine what you love. You will easily figure out what you love and what works the best for you!
