This is coming from a ranger, so you know. The pet actually isn’t utilized for max dps, it is put into play to do three things. 1: Keep your opponent in a movement state(so they cannot lock down a position, and hit you with the big stuff)2: To soak up the opponents cc(so they can get away from pet and get to you).3: To basically add that little bit of finish him damage(that extra condition, which is the nail in their coffin).

Now that I got that out of the way i will give you my(this is my own preference, so no trolling)impression. I am bleeder sb level 80 atm. I do very very good damage in both pve as well as pvp. so if you want my answer here it is: best single target range dps falls like this

1: Mage
2: Ranger
3: Hambow warrior

everything else below this isnt important

Again this is my personal preference, im sure someone will come and try to troll it up but hope this helps ya.

yes listen to this guy and make a mage…
its the secret class you unlock by entering the konami code while stacked with conditions.

but in all seriousness if you want the real nasty range gods then:
meta:
s/f fresh air ele, (insta kills things, takes some practice)
terrormancer/condi mancer (perma fear, OP)
or if you’re not strictly single target you could try staff ele, crazy damage

or i’ve been having hellish fun as a Power ranger recently, auto attacks critting for 3k from 1500, pop quickness and nuke things down!

I find sb bleeder to be very fun, and very powerful, when you learn the rotations and the timings.

Yes its powerful however your attack speed is very slow and can only be speed up wigh quickening zepher. My opinion not worth it, but play how you want to, this is just my opinion.

And staff ele is not slow?

For single target ranged DPS ranger is supreme. For ranged aoe, ele wins closely followed by necro.
Ele is focused on aoe. Outside of air, ele is 70% aoe skills. Air dps is lower then fire and all aoe dps is lower then single target.

Hambow dps sucks, and if a hambow beats a railgun ranger, then the ranger did an awful lot of mistakes, or just stood there eating full combustive shot, pin down and arcing arrow without cleansing any condition.

6/5/3/0/0 or 6/0/2/6/0 with zerker amulet will steamroll any warrior bow user simply beacuse warrior range is 1000 vs 1200 on ranger. And at 1000 range warrior arrows is too slow. At melee range the pet will tear the warrior apart with a goid mix of cc and damage.
Alpine wolf + wolf = warrior dps is gone. Each knockdown, fear and chill will further destroy the warriors meager chance to even hit the reanger in the first place. And if we need to address secondary weapons then sword + axe will send any warrior burst back in their own face with interest.

Ranger wins ranged battles because the moment you go 6 into marks you have a guaranteed cirt + 5 stacks of invuln on target. Fire off rapid fire and that increases to 15…. add in pet and that is 20…..

So yea a single target ranged DPS max would be zerker longbow ranger

Not saying it’s a good idea though.

You’d want to look into shatter mesmer I think.

Bring an ele over ranger for power builds. Ranger power is still weak.

You’re gonna wanna at least try out elemental shaman. Great burst and having bloodlust is great team utility.

Power Ranger’s are far from weak… and if you run eagle eye you have 1500 range with great accuracy thanks to read the wind.

you’ll also kill yourself more than any other class. You can’t see reflect skill animations from 1,500 range. Be careful out there

s/f fresh air ele, (insta kills things, takes some practice)

It does a LOT of damage if lucky enough, but it does not ‘insta kill’ anything..

Full Zerker Ele in PvE is amazing DPS, and does AoE too.

With a good group providing might, if you Meteor Storm then switch to Tornado, you hit over 5k power.
