Hi! I am “The Korean Knight” whom vincecontix.1264 above mentioned.
This is my WvW version of duel ranged warrior build that I used in sPvP ranked arena before (I used celestial amulet instead, because anet doesnt release zealot amulet for pvp)
I am pretty sure this is best rifle build if you forcefully push yourself to use the Warrior’s weakest weapon, Rifle. Always like and greet people like you trying to struggle with hardships, just put celestial amulet in PvP mode since there isnt zealot amulet in PvP. Here we go.
If you use Rifle/ longbow, you have to go shout line becuase there isn’t a good way to make Killshot hit correctly without Fear me combo. Killshot will be missed mostly if you don’t make any combo with it (it is easiest to be dodged) And also you have to go shout line to supplement endurance by shout heal since duel ranged seem very reckless. And you have to know how to pick out enemy’s critical skill, such as eviscerate and earth quake, and dodge it cuz you have no vigor recharge : you can’t random dodge. This requires Warrior’s the most experience.
I will tell you the trick I used for this build.
Since you are duel ranged, you are not good at close fight.
Therefore, you gotta use Longbow’s elite skill, Combustive shot, to make your protective field that you stay in while you uses rifle. Then your enemy won’t get close to you while you are in rifle mode. And its duration, Combustive shot, is 9 sec. Most of Warrior have -5 sec decreased weapon swap time. So you can cover, or protect, yourself with this burning area for 9 sec, which is enough time to use rifle and get back to longbow. Longbow is kinda strong weapon in close fight even though it is ranged weapon. If enemy doesn’t come to close cuz you stay in burning area? no worry, you are full ranged war ranger, just keep shooting at him lolBe sure, I have dueled a lot of people with this build. The natural enemy of this build is thief. Frankly, I mostly win thief, they just knock out when my killshot hit and volley followed. However, there is exception. Dodge spam thief like, Magic Toker the one in Abjured The World Champion Level, he did beat me while I used this build, very close though. (I only lost to thief who are at Magic Toker level with this duel ranged build) He kept losing to me at first few rounds, but later, he found the WAY to deal with this rifle / longbow build as world champion-class decent thief, so he won me later rounds. Anyway, I removed this build from my twitch for that weak point but I will re-post it if anet would buff rifle by any chance. (rifle itself as of now is too weak, and Anet even nerfed rifle by removing bleed. every1 want it buffed in the future, right? i hope anet would put back some cond dmg like bleed just like before into rifle to make perfect set with cele amulet and decrease killshot cast time. I don;t think it will happens though) Well, You will mostly win thief with this build anyway unless he is dodge spam thief with many reflection skill.
But I think it is ok. the thief I lost to with this build is world best champion level thief anyway. And also, Arenanet made rifle too sucks and even nerfed. I did my best.
Always don’t waste Rifle’s 2nd and 5th skill. when some1 got close to you, use 5th rifle skill then 2nd skill after pushing him back.
This build is very strong against Engi or necro since it is full ranged, but, very weak against full melee type like thief or meditation gs/sword-focus guardian. But you can still win if you get to master level of this duel ranged build.
Visit my twitch address below, there is video that I uses this build.
http://www.twitch.tv/the_korean_gamer/c/5491666I also recommend you learn about “Backshot” trick, that is, you have to set key that shows backside of your character while running front. Duel ranged warrior uses this feature a lot cuz you will have to deal with “run and hit” tactics. Luckily, you can use 3th and elite skill of longbow to backside even though you running front but camera looking backside by pressing that key you bound. (watch http://www.twitch.tv/the_korean_gamer/c/5666048 to know how to do this trick) You can use this trick not only with Longbow but with hammer though : make yourself look like running away but hit all of sudden.
hope this helps you.
Interesting! Thank you for that! 
Here what i think it should happen…
Tengu come out of their walls as the new playable race, Charr and Humans falling out and come into war again, Caithe’s doings and other conflicts start annoying Norn and Asura making them ally with Charr, left to Sylvaris and Humans stand together with the help of Tengu.
That, would bring very interesting things to the game! 
*dont come with hate, its just an idea.

My idea :
let everyone who asks for stupid things like this die instantly whenever he/she enters LAEven better : flag everyone who asks for open PvP for perma-death.
Now that would be fun
So mature, so constructive for the game you are, let us know more of your “smart” things.
Nothing more honorable, than a will of a fighter!
Stealth, has a problem that persist in every way in many situations, even in other games. Unfortunately, in Gw2, we have this very annoying issue of the *cast skill on target, follows thro stealth mode/invisibility.
This happens all the time with thieves, rangers, mesmers and engs (i think, not sure about this last one), its been 2 years since launch, they really should look into those “details”, but oh well, there are more concerns that require more emergency. haha :P
About the Swoop, i think it were predicted, im sorry, not saying youre a noob or any L2p issue, but after a time, really good players start to imagine where the stealthed enemy are and hit that spot with their powerful attacks.
Maybe u got bad luck, but, tell us more about your experience in pvp, is always nice to see these stories
