Mine was fine till last night and for some odd reason my Pet would not revive me when I was downed. Just stood about doing nothing.

But while in combat he seemed just fine.

I’m a relative newbie ranger. Only level 25 and have done no PVP or WVW yet but here is how I play.

Set Pet to avoid conflict. Use shortbow or long bow and engage enemy at range once they catch you make pet attack, throw down Troll Unguent, change to great sword or other melee set up and proceed to destroy. I also have traps as Utilities so use them.

Mobs are no problems for the most part.Pet stays alive 95% of the time and the traps are good with the 20% quicker recharge.

Is working for me thus far.

I’m new too. I started as a Thief but wasn’t enjoying it all that much so changed to Ranger. Am currently level 17/18.

Main hand: Sword (Could use axe too)
Off Hand : War Horn ( Love the Hunters call and call of the wild adds Swiftness, fury and might to you an nearby allies )

Second weapon set : Shortbow

Slot 6 (Healing): Troll Unguent (Heals you & pet over time)

Slot 7 & 8 (Utility skills) : Vipers nest ( Trap, seems to do plenty of damage) & Entangle ( traps enemy in vines ) (It shows as an elite skill for some reason on sites but I could have it at like level 11)

Currently Have 7/8 points in Markmanship trait for added power and Condition duration

And that is me as of right now. Works pretty well in PVE. The Melee weapons are damaging and the shortbow is quick with decent range and a skill that allows you to jump back and shoot which comes in handy.

I use Shortbow most of the time and try to lure them in to vipers nest and use entangle to help me escape powerful single targets.

As for traits I think My next lot will go into Skirmish for more precision & Crtical damage and then have some in beast mastery for healing and Wilderness Survival for toughness.

Wasn’t sure If I should put this here or in the Audio section but decided here since it technically is a bug.

I downloaded something this morning…..Small, like 399 files or something and now my Audio keeps cutting in & out.

I tried messing with the Audio options in game but got no where.

Was working fine yesterday and I haven’t updated any hardware or sotware other than GW2.

Anybody else got the same problem and does anybody have any suggestions for a fix ?

Thanks for the replies peeps.

I will be trying all the weapon combinations I can……I tried out the shortbow last night and like that. The Infiltrator arrow is nice for closing the gap pretty quick and has some AOE moves as well as the ability to combo. which was nice.

Am only level 6 right now. I have dual Daggers as my weapon set. Am thinking of going bow or Dual pistols for the second set (when I unlock it).

I unlocked Skills Assassin’s Signet and Spider Venom thus far.

Is there a particular order to unleash Skills ? are there certain skills I must unlock cause they’re that good are there ones I should avoid ?

I just want some general tips and advice On how to play this Profession to maximize it’s abilities and fun.
