Which set of gear should I go for, full Power stats as possible or Precision as possible for PVE/WVW?

Thanks!

Highest consistent damage possible:

100% crit chance with borderland bloodlust and fury.

Highest Burst:

90% crit chance, 3k power, air sigil.

Of course you dont carry a longbow as your first and second setup. You carry a second one in your inventory to swap to once bloodlust stacks are full. (Remember to have the bloodlust sigil on your second weaponset aswell in order to keep those stacks)
Second weapon is a GS for blocks, leaps or burst.

I recommend trying the cripple on crit sigil instead of Air to keep the enemy in range in case they run.

Fights end within 10 seconds at most. Make sure the enemy NEVER sees you comming.
If its not a complete beginner, a prepared enemy leads to your death mostly. If he is not prepared he dies in a second. 7-9k+ AA opener hit, 4k consitent AA crits. 15-20k RF within 1-2 seconds.

Your job is to circle around zergs in a big radius and snipe unaware people. Roaming is a no-go. Melee zerging, too.

Edit: Dont be one of those burster ranger that open up with RF. You loose huge burst potential. Only use RF as your first skill if the enemy has aegis on him.
Otherwise pop your 2 damage signets → 1 AA then RF

You touched the shiny, didn’t you?

I’d swap companion’s might for moment of clarity. You are a burst damage class, your pet won’t do much. A single interrupt from either Brutal Charge, Point blank shot or Hilt bash, will make your next attack re-hit like a truck.

Edit: Also I think going above 65% crit unbuffed is a waste of power. You will have RaO in almost all your encounters, along with BL buff you will be in 85-90% crit.

I’d take sigil of force instead of the 7% crit chance.

Full Berserker gear + Ranger runes.

Scholar runes are also good, but they lose 10% damage when you take damage. Ranger runes loses 7% damage if your pet dies.

Rune of the Pack can also be good, if you tend to get hit.

Rune of Speed / Rune of traveler allow you to go without Signet of the Hunt, but it’s at the cost of damage output.
