Edit----------**********PvE Build**********----------Edit

For PvP? If it is, then your build lacks Res Sig. So I would rate it as a 5. Might want to exchange Apply Poison for Barbed Arrows.

for PvE sorry. fixed it. barbed arrows is a no, cuz its easily interupted.

It is only easily interrupted if you're in the front line of battle, but you shouldn't suffering from that problem because you're a Ranger.

so ur saying rangers are never attacked? i dont think so. im asking u to rate it, not suggest. ive thought about barbed, but i like apply cuz its a better degen cover, not easily interrupted, and i like green enemy bars better than pink lol. so whats ur rating?

How is Apply a better Degen Cover? Both Barbed and Apply do the same thing in terms of covering a condition. Also, you could always use Natural Stride while using Barbed Arrows to further prevent Barbed from getting Interrupted.

I don't like the bow...why do you need 33% longer in PvE? Things die off too fast anyways. I would rather get a Tundoss' Shortbow or Elswyth's Recurve Bow.

Why do you actually want Degen in PvE? Things die too fast for them to be of much use anyways...a RaO Thumper would seem better for PvE...but whatever.


Uhh...6 or so...Degen isn't very useful in PvE and I don't like the bow...

I think this build is perfectly suited for pvp and pve.

You need to run at least a major expertise to hit the 13 breakpoint to reduce the cost of your 5 energy skills to 2, and reduce apply to 7. Or, drop 1 out of wilderness survival and your points in prot to get there. I would go 14/13/9/2 on attributes.

Other than that, looks great.

I ran basically the same build in PvE for my ranger when I went through NF and it worked pretty well. It does quite alot of damage surprisingly and has interrupts to boot

For the love of god these Burning Arrow threads are almost becoming spam! You don't need an entirely new thread just to say you chose a few frigging skills from the discussion thread to create yet more discussion!

Besides, isn't it a bit much to be boosting to 11 expertise purely to reduce 1 skills energy costs by 1? Not like it matters though i guess...

the build is good. i run a similar build quite often (when team doesnt require me to barrage -.- )

the only diffrence is that i go R/Me and use Epidemic (and rez sig)

only for that i give you 8/10
