As true as Odin’s spear flies,
There is nowhere to hide.
why aren’t you using torches? why do i only feel the tickle of your shortbow?
Maybe because most ranger players…..
…….aren’t too bright….
In all seriousness though, I ran my condition build S/T for melee and shortbow for range.

i think you more or less hit it with the second line.
no but seriously. torch off hand for rangers is by far one of the most underused weapons in the game.
I run my condi/traps ranger with SB 99% of time because staying at range makes you more survivable (in wvw at least).
and since burning doesn’t stack in intensity, burning trap is more than enough.
I’m a norn condition trapper and never leave Hoelbrak without my axe + torch and shortbow.
imo, axe is better than sword cause you kan still keep the distance and kite around traps.

I do the same , torch is the most powerful weapon we have.

Because anyone that thinks the main point of the shortbow is damage or that touch is worth it when you already have access to fire isn’t as smart as they think.
That isn’t to say touch isn’t very powerful, it is but…. Oooooh wait, you’re trolling.
If you’re using torch it’s not advised to use flame trap as well since fire does not stack intensively, only for duration. Because of this, I only use flame trap as it offers a lower cooldown but also a nice AOE
My favorite right now is Axe/Torch with a flame trap. Awesome for mob’s as you can rotate the Bonfire/Flame trap so that you have a fire combo field up nearly all the time.

except it isn’t. as the burn lasts 3 seconds. bonfire gives 5 or 8 stacks at once and lasts 1 1/4 seconds. sooooOoooooO…

if i was trolling i might be a little less informed?
If we’re talking wvwvw, is because warhorn is used for speed, until people realize you can use warhorn speed buff then swap to torch while you’re out of combat….
Usually run SB with axe/warhorn/torch then signet of the hunt while moving around, swapping to either flame trap or QZ defending on what i feel needs to be done.
Most people just dont realize they should be swapping weapons/skills between fights

having to swap weapons/skills between fights only shows horribly poor class design and is nothing to brag about.
We are using torches. My fav combo is sb axe torch with reduced cd for survival utilities and entangle, and birds for a sick vigor tank. Also entangle + torch 5 = teh sex
