What I am currently wondering and experimenting around with is condition damage builds for ranger.

The build I am using is currently posted above this text. The build uses a shortbow in the primary weapon slot and works on condition damage. The amulet being used is Rampager’s amulet for the added condition damage.

Basically pop warhorn, then switch to your shortbow and blow your DPS cooldowns to almost instantly apply 20+ stacks of bleed on your target.

What I do find lacking is how much up front burst the damage has. It is after all a condition damage build, not burst damage build, but without all my cooldowns I find it sometimes difficult to be able to kill anyone before I die first. Any suggestions?

Edit: I forgot to mention I use the 60% chance on crit to apply bleeding, and have a 62% chance to crit before buffs.
