Hey everyone, I’ve got a question about my Ranger build. While I enjoy the way he’s built right now, I just want to know if I’m utilizing him to the best of his ability.

Right now he’s built mostly Condition Damage, Precision, and Toughness, with a few Ruby accessories thrown in there. Traits are 20 Power, 30 Precision, 20 Toughness. I mainly use shortbow/sword+warhorn, and I’m focusing more on WvW rather than PvE. I’ve heard things that high power can be really good, or healing can give rangers really good survivability, so I’m curious to know what you all think. I don’t necessarily want to be squishy, but I want to be able to hold my own and do good damage.
Basically I want to know if this is a solid build, and if you guys have any suggestions to make it better or have other builds that work really well that you enjoy. Let me know what you think, I’d greatly appreciate it! Thanks guys

Edit: I posted this on the Players Helping Players forum as well, and they gave me some good advice. They said that a power-build wouldn’t out-DPS a good condi-build, and that I should just perfect what I’m already doing, or I could make a really tanky-condi build with traits of 10-0-30-30-0.

Rabid gear…(rampger’s if you are feeling really suicidal!)
Take a Warhorn with an Earth Sigil..
have Sharpened Edges as a trait. Use offhand training for more range.

Use Hunter’s Call on an unsuspecting Player, and watch them dodge and flail around wondering how they got so many bleeds on them so fast (low end for bleeds is like 4-6, high end is 20+, depending on how merciful the RNG gods are feeling at that moment). If its a more inexperienced player, they will end up losing 30-40%+ of their health before they even realize what happened. Just to make it better run over there and throw down some traps, and use a pet with CC skills(like the Wolf).

I don’t run condition builds very often, so I can’t help you out with the survivability issues.
