What's the PvE meta for rangers?
Either is totally fine. DnT is recommending 45050 but they’re basically identical.
Mostly using s/wh and GS, but as you know axe in either hand is nice for TA, bow on rare occasions like SE or CM, etc.
I just use dagger offhand or axe if reflects are needed (cause I only rely on myself for reflects due to incompetent pugs). I rarely use either bow and greatsword I just use for the mobility. Thanks for the response though.
Meta is pretty much the same as it was before, except Ranger Runes are now viable (and no longer unconditional).

Bow I just like to keep handy. There are a lot of encounters PUGs generally want to range, like the dredge carrier in SE…uh 3? or the bosses at the end of CM 1 and 3 blah blah blah.
I used to not use GS pretty much at all, but ever since I crafted my ascended GS, I’ve been using it quite a bit. The idea is to use swoop and maul, then switch to 1hS, but having it permanently on switch means a lot less manual weapon swapping. Most dungeons have places where I’d rather use GS, like circle strafing Seamus.
