Weapons: Shortbow/Axe/Horn (Long bow situational for aoe)
Traits: 30/30/0/0/10

http://tinyurl.com/99q6bsc

Stat focus: Precision—>Crit Damage—>Power (once you are at 100% crit damage precision provides more dps than power)

Sup. Runes of the Ranger in all my gear. I use Sup. Sigil of Str. on my bow (chance to gain might on critical). I put the +10 precision on kills (stacks to 25) on my axe.

How it works:
The build is based on quickness, in my opinion the most overpowered source of damage for rangers. I use quickening zephyr immediately after I pop signet of the wild and rampage as one. When zephyr runs off I switch pets to get the quickness bonus from pet swap (I switch pets every 20 seconds, it is important to keep your pet alive so you don’t get the full 60 sec cd). I will switch to axe/horn once my pet/zephyr is on CD, blow all axe cds except call of the wild. I use call of the wild right before I switch back to sbow. Finally, right before the mob dies I switch to axe to allow myself to proc the axe sigil to gain the precision stack.

The synergy between shortbow/quickness and Sigil of Str is amazing, allows you to keep 10+ might stacks up while quickness buffed.

As for pets, I use the stalker for the might buff and the hyena for dps (2 is better than 1).

Depends on the AOE situation. If it is non-elite mobs I use longbow to get damage before the group kills everything. For Elite groups I line them up as best as possible (groups tend to line up at the beginning while CDs are being used).

CoF Rhiannon path (#3) Bug

Bump.
Also, path 2 is still a 20 minute run. Everyone has to cross the lava with magg – ignore the mobs and fight the few that are left over after you cross (one person should keep the extinguisher in case he dies in fire). Bomb set part is easily done, 2 in and 3 out at all times. When someone goes down another runs in, as long as the group doesn’t die all at once its easy.

Bump, message body length must [be at least]15 (I’m assuming characters, but the error message should clarify).

I’m not defending Anet here, but shouldn’t people take at least some responsibility for their own account security?

I would like an official comment on this as well. I know they are busy, just a no would suffice for me. Also, Veeber, I haven’t read all of the rules and regs but if there is someplace that addresses this issue please direct my attention to it.

Same problem here, I submitted a ticket but I am not holding my breath. I would suggest they create a more visible signal to inform players that a specific time of armor cannot be equiped. IE highlight the piece in red on the purchase tab (I know when you scroll over the armor it give this information). I was stupid and hastily purchased heavy armor when I use medium armor – same stats.
