I have been using the greatsword for my sPvP power ranger. For the leap.

I like to snipe, and when they come confidently running at me for the kill, I want to surprise them with excellent melee attacks as well.

Any tips from power rangers?

sword/dagger maybe for evasions or Sword/Axe for Axe 5

There is a “Range” in “Ranger” you know…

On the advice of an experienced PvP team ranger I talked to, I think I will stick with Greatsword. Used properly, it offers a lot: stun (4 secs traited), KB, Burst, escape, block.

I played longbow/ great sword for a long time, solid combo. My only complaint is longbow feels clunky if you need evasion if you get stuck with it, hunters shot is very hit or miss (more miss when you really need it).

You really can’t go wrong. Any combo of any of the melee weapons is excellent and brings something incredibly important to the table. The only weird one would be torch, which is very good, but purely condition.

axe#5 is nice… but path of scars is the main reason to choose axe OH imo

aoe (line…) pull and strong burst

PBS followed by path of scars puts a lot of players into panic health

Has to be sword\dag in my opinion. The poison\evades are just essential against hambows.

Lately I’m really liking the sword/dagger. Sword/Warhorn is nice too, and I also use sword/axe from time to time.

I’ve been playing a full melee spec on ranger and I’ve honestly been having a blast.

Greatsword/ Sword Dagger

Greatsword in conjunction with SotH can generate some nasty burst. Fall back on S/D for lots of dodges and surviving until your next burst.

On top of the this build has insane mobility. Sword 2 and GS 3 can allow you to travel across the map very quickly acting like a roamer in pvp.
