Guild Wars 2

After some testing these were my DPS results:

Longbow + Shortbow:

Longbow + Greatsword:

Longbow + Sword/Axe:

Is this a good way to determine what build to use?
I have used the same skillbuild for all 3 weapon combos.http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vNQQNAT8XnMqAtCilsAuqActgh9gav9AY0/4ocf6OG+9hIDnMjND-TBCBwAAuIAJMDcWJYgnAQKdP4U/B7+jSPjKDIDg+YA-e

If I go by these results the Longbow – Sword/Axe combo seems like the best.

Thank you again for answers. Much appreciated.
It looks like I will have to experiment a little to find the best combo.
I’ve been using the Special forces training area to test out DPS and rotations.

Ended up with this one http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vNQQJATVnUqAtCilsAuqActgh9gqjhffI2bPAO7POK3nOjZxcyE-TBCBwAGVGkSXTgnAA29HlenVCiT9nEmBAcJAIDg+YA-e

Rotation
Rapid fire
Barrage
Rapid fire
swap
Poison volley
Crippling shot
Cussion shot
Poison volley
swap
Repeat

Stuffing in The other skills as they are ready when waiting for cooldown on Rapid fire/Poison volley starting with Quickening Zephyr.

Is it possible to go Longbow/Shortbow to be able to always work with ranged combat?

Thanks for the awesome feedback!
I will test some stuff out. I am reluctant to go in to melee so I need a build that doesn’t jump between ranged combat and melee. My current build does that except for the Whirling defense.
With that said, how would a full rotation look on a longbow/greatsword build? (As the one Mr Greggles has above)

Have tried Druid but didn’t get the hang of it since I’m mostly play solo … should probably try it again.

Hi all.

I have a ranger that I’ve been playing for a long time now. Mostly soloing around PvE, some random dungeons, living story and meta events. I’m kinda stuck atm where to aim with my gaming in gw2 and seek your advice on what goals to set and work towards.

My build is here: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vNQQNAT8XnMqAtCilsAuqActgh9gav9AY0/4ocfaegD4RIDnzixE-TBCBwAAuIA4U/xoygEmBC8EASp75sSQs7PK9IEwoFA-e

It’s a Longbow-Sword/Axe build with som pet enhancments put together from two build I found somewhere.

So:
- Change build? If yes, to what?
- Gear? Do I need to go for ascended or is the exotic enough?
- If I want to start raiding, fractals what should I do/change?

Thanks in advance!
