Ranger isn’t my main but i just leveled one to 80 finishing yesterday. Just my experience for PvE you should go Shortbow/Axe+Warhorn for traits I focused on skirmishing and marksmenship. I used brown bear most of the time just because they can tank pretty good other then that i used raven for the swiftness. Utility skills i used Quickening Zephyr Signet of the Hunt and Spike Trap, Elite when you get there Rampage as One is good even though it has huge cooldown.
