Rangers by far are one of the better classes for RA pretty much any ranged class is. Whats a good crip shot build?

Your general crip shot build is probably something like:

[skill]Savage Shot[/skill][skill]Distracting Shot[/skill][skill]Crippling Shot[/skill][skill]Apply Poison[/skill][skill]Mending Touch[/skill][skill]Whirling Defense[/skill][skill]Troll Unguent[/skill]Rez Sig

If you are /A secondary, then [skill]Signet of Malice[/skill] can replace Mending Touch.

[skill]Hunter's Shot[/skill] is also a decent replacement for Savage Shot if you want more damage. [skill]Screaming Shot[/skill] is also a good choice, but is a bit more energy heavy and is a bit less spammable.

Attributes should have at least 14 expertise.

Personally, I don't think Crippling Shot is as good as a choice as it used to be. I prefer to use Burning Arrow myself, but if you want Crip Shot, then you probably want something like the above.

^I agree with Archon in saying that CripShot isn't as widely used, and I would say that outside of a team atmosphere where there is a need for a very specific role (anti-melee) you would be better off using a Burning Arrow build.

I'd use the same bar as Archon listed above, just replace cripple shot with Burning Shot and Whirling defenses with Natural Stride.

Debiliating Shot is also a GREAT skill to bring... but it means dropping either savage shot or troll. But using Debiliating Shot every time it recharges is absolutely devestating to a caster that isn't prepared to handle the energy loss.

Yea, I forgot to mention that Whirling, like Cripshot is a bit dated as well. Natural Stride has taken the place of this skill in most ranger bars I have seen for a long time.

I'd replace Whirling for Natural for sure.

:\ if you could do that id be amazed and you would have to share with me... but yea i tried this its pretty fun probably just bring trolls for a self heal if this is for RA other than that its pretty much a set build.

Cripshot is still an awesome build to use. Here's the build I've been recently running in GvG:

Distracting Shot (always number 1 on skillbar, better for interupting imo.)
Savage Shot (savage shot number 2 on bar, same reason as dshot)
Crippling Shot
Screaming Shot
Apply Poison
Natural Stride
Troll Unguent
Mending Touch

Still an effective build to play, and most certainly fun
