hi. im planning on doing WvW with my ranger.

i like playing with a shortbow and greatsword.
(longbow annoys me, its too slow. and swoop saves my kitten constantly)

so, what kind of gear should i go for?
i was thinking Power/Cond/Vit if the bleeds are good,
or maybe Power/Tough/Vit? berserker seems too squishy.

thanks.

Zerker/Rampager are too squishy. Ranger is not a burst class and so should not be geared as one in most situations.

If going to go conditions, I’d recommend one of the following:

  • Cond w/ Prec & Tough (Rabid)
  • Healing w/ Cond & Tough (Apothecary)

If going to go power, I’d recommend one of the following:

  • Power w/ Tough & Vitality (Soldier)
  • Healing w/ Power & Tough (Cleric)

What sort of build you want to run would better dictate what you picked though. Take a look around at the various builds or come up with your own … or both :-)
