Yes, they prolly can't do a better job than a warrior. And then? What if someone has fun with it? I think his point was the OP believes that the sword ranger is equal in strength to the hammer thumper, something that has been disproved.

I am not saying he shouldn't try to play a sword build, I have just stated the facts as best as I am capable. Encouraging or as discouraging as they may be, the facts don't lie.

As for the stance tracking,I just wanted to display that the point on stances was valid, yet the warrior stances are incomplete because they far outnumber stances for a ranger that are useful.

I'm all for fun builds. I rolled an ele with hundred blades, conjure lightning, stoneflesh aura, shock, sever, gash, and that earth snare that gives immunity to all damage except lightning.

It was fun.

It was not good.

Promoting crap as fun is good, promoting crap as a viable competitive build is not.

This thread has gone far too off topic for me to even care about, 95% of you still never responded to what I asked, so see ya.

If I used this outside of AB, which skill should I replce for a res sig?

Predatory bond is terrible, so no.

Don't run this outside AB, or anywhere, to be honest. If you do, drop whirling defense for it.

Whoops, was assuming questions from posts after the opening post.

No, don't bring either outside of AB/RA.
