Guild Wars 2

Thanks for the advice! I’ll try it out. I had read of a similar max DPS build, but it makes more sense coming from you than that website I found it on. You guys have been a big help.

Wow, this has given me a lot to think about. Thanks everyone for the responses. I was originally preserving space in my bags, but I have no worry of that anymore, so I’ll carry a more robust selection of weapons. Truth be told, my favorite animations is when they character is spinning and flipping like a ninja.

So that brings up the question: How do you build your ranger? What traits should I be going after. I was built up through the the Marksmanship and Skirmishing paths, but I guess Marksmanship is useless if you aren’t using a bow.

Also makes me think I wasted my time with the Huntsman crafting path… hmmm.

Sorry if this has has been discussed or if I’m missing something. I’m relatively new to GW2, and totally new to Ranger, but here goes:

I have seen some discussions around here about how untenable either longbow or shortbow is. Now, I see that the damage for the Longbows tends to be higher, but unlike in some other MMO’s, they don’t express the damage in DPS, but in a range. Is that the ranger per attack or is that in actual DPS?

If it is just damage per attack, then Shortbow has to win out every time as it’s twice as fast as the Longbow.

Thanks for the input guys.

This is a general post question. I missed buying the Guild Wars 2 artbook and as someone who loves the art style of the game, I would love to explore it further. The downside is that it is not commercially available, and I’m not willing to spend hundreds of dollars to get a copy of the book.

I kicker for me is when the game first was coming out, I thought I bought the artbook, but it turned out to be the super special edition strategy guide.

I guess I want to know if anyone knows of a place I could perhaps buy a digital version of The Art of Guild Wars 2 or if they plan on printing this again anytime soon. Thanks for your time.
