Ranger Build Questions PvE VS WvW

You can’t roam around alone in WvW, even if you’re mapping.
After all, you have to get inside towers and keeps and there’s no way you’ll Di that alone.
So take it from someone that was spouse to start mapping the WvW last week for the 5TH time if it wasn’t so busy:

Go with the zerg.
Be patient, use map rotations for your advantage.

And bows will work if you map like that, make sure you stay in the back DPSing.
If you have some good friends that play melee classes team up and have him target who ever he’s fighting, that makes a killer combo.

I have never zerged in WvW. I imagine its just loading up and asking where people are, or is it best to see if there is a forum for my server?

For PvE I currently am rolling Bow/Bow, and before you speak, yes I know these weapons don’t do the most damage but for PvE and my play style this works for me.

However, in WvW, unless my server is doing well in the section it starts with, I can’t do squat. Once I wonder out into the Eternal battle field I am screw because, inevitably I will be found by a thief and before I know it I am down and there is no thief in sight.

I should also mention that my Ranger is my main and I am trying to get map completion with. So I am not use to PvP combat or the inner workings of WvW. I am open to restating and changing weapons for WvW, but I would like to see first if there are changes I can make to my current build as it is the one I am most accustomed to.

This is my current build: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fMMQJATVjEVJ2FWCWo2Bi1DC1nA1Kkp3D0Tr2fyrm0K-e
