I use a 30/25/5/0/10 build with raven+jag. Longbow + sword/horn, I am shelving ranger for now till they make it worth playing for archers.

20/25/10/0/15 (Steady Focus, Piercing Arrows, Primal Reflexes, Quick Draw, Wilderness Knowledge, Mighty Swap)

Troll Unguent (solo-play), Healing Spring (group/dungeons)

Muddy Terrain/Lightning Reflexes/Quickening Zephyr

Pets are usually devourers or spiders since there is a tendency for mobs to wanna come after me more than the rest of my group. I kite a hell of a lot more than I should be :P

This is strictly a pve/dungeon build.

I run a LB/SB survival build. Mostly because I am stubborn and its how I envisioned my Ranger from the beginning.

Spec Varies but constants are 30WS-20MM…the remaining 20 points are in NM/BM while I figure out which combos I prefer.

I run Soldiers Gear from Head to Toe (including Trinkets and weapons) I use Runes of The Ranger and have Zerker Jewels in all Trinkets.

Approx final totals: 19xx Power/40% Crit Rate/53% Crit Damage/19xx Toughness/21,500-23,500 hits contingent on spec in NM. (With Curry BNS, Master Maintenance Oil)

~ 3000 Attack
~ 3000 Armor

Pets are Owl/Raven or Eagle/Hawk for their burst.

I have put a video together of some clips over the Holidays, first song just some 1v1 and the second song is all 1v2s

Not the easy road but being a Full Bow Ranger in WvWvW has worked for me and I enjoy it…if you are looking for 1 button Wins it is NOT the build to do, if you like being able to deal with adds and not crumpling like paper you may enjoy this =)

I go with a 20, 5, 25, 20 build… I’m full Dwayna geared armor wise, with a decent LB and Axe/Horn. I survive well enough, unless focused. I find the Axe just good solid close support hitting 3 individuals over all damage to move away from it. I tried to wean myself from the horn thinking signet of the hunt, but it isn’t a replacement for horn speed.
