Warrior Longbow Build?
search defective’s longbow build should probably come up.
I run a zerker 10/30/0/10/20 build for LB / GS in pretty much every setting.

I’ve been having a lot of success lately with 0/30/0/10/30. The increased range trait also changes some of your longbow skills into finishers, which is a big oversight in Defektive’s build IMO (unless it was a recent patch that added that). The other crucial traits are Furious, Quick Bursts, and Mobile Strikes. I find Berserker’s gear is also crucial – in addition to the burning that your F1 applies, there is another type of damage that ticks away and it has a chance to crit.
Greatsword is the best synergy with longbow at the moment I think, mainly because the build is extremely squishy and you need to be mobile. When you do get forced into melee, F1 → Bull’s Charge for fire aura → switch to GS for 100b + whirl. I don’t have damage numbers, but I’ve had it down 3 people on capture points more than once.
Axe also synergizes well: with Quick Bursts, Fast Hands, and Sharpened Axes, you can basically have permanent fire fields out without the need for Healing Surge or Signet of Fury. Axe also has low cooldown finishers for the fire field. Downside of course with axe/axe or axe/shield is very low mobility, so you will be in the fight taking heavy hits with no tank.

Running this one right now. Soldier amulet + 30% critical chance (50% with Opportunist, which you proc all the time with LB 5, GS 4)? Yes please!
And I loooove to combo GS3 ->swap (hydromancy)->LB3.
@edit
forgot to change the amulet jewel for valkie’s

I’ve been doing a hammer/longbow build for awhile… 30/0/30/0/10. It’s main focus is the hammer, and I use the longbow more for utility and situations where I need ranged attacks. Also gives me a combo field.
I’ve seen some longbow + rifle builds before that seemed pretty cool, although I think people might find that boring. I don’t know what that build looked like though.
