Your skills are outdated. Get rid of Power Shot. It's not that good. It only does max of 25 (without attribute boosts), and Hunter's Shot is almost just as good with damage, and is even better with the bleeding and energy cost. Pin Down is practically a must in PvP. In PvE it is useless. Penetrating Attack, Dual Shot, and Distracting Shot are good alternatives.

Two preps that both have the same goal (damage with condition) is a bit pointless. Marksman's Wager would be a good replacement for Incendiary Arrows and will help get back your energy when needed. Or Read the Wind and Poison Arrow might be a good combination. Troll Unguent is good for PvE, but if you go in PvP it isn't necessary. I tend to keep it cause I like self heals just in case, but might be better to add some kind of defense skill in PvP, like Dodge or Lightning Reflexes (which you should have no matter if you have a self heal or not).
Hope that helps you out a bit

Yo, Tropical Fruit Flavored Litlle Person...before taking advice from anyone, consider the purpose of your chacacter (been said before by others and again here and now by me...). Your character's purpose has EVERYTHING to do with how you build him/her.
I've played a full-on Ranger with no secondary and a Ranger/Monk...My main goal has been exploration in the PvE areas and not so much in the PvP...I added the monk as a secondary so I could res and do a little extra damage on the undead. In both cases I started dropping the beast mastery as I raised levels because my pet became a pain in the toosh (always fighting the wildlife and such)...
I found that as a support character (keeping a distance to keep from taking damage while helping my comrads), I kept most of my points in marksmanship and wilderness survival (can't recall the specifics) and loved using the ignite arrows, dual shot, powershot, pointblank shot (in a pinch) combos...I know powershot seems like a waste of energy to some, but with a good bow and armor for energy recovery, I did ok...I like standing back and observing the battle from a distance and picking out the primary targets while being able to assist anyone on the team if they get into trouble...serve some damage, help a friend...that's me, standing on the high ground, pulling fire from casters so the monk can do his/her job...monks dies...I'm there to res...
Decide what you want to do and pick the characteristics of your class that will help you do it...if you go between PvE and PvP...switch it up a little. Nothing can replace experience, so play, play, play...see what works for you...In the long run, you'll be wiser for it.

Powershot used to be much better, and if it worked for you that's great. But for me I found I did far more damage with Dual Shot and Penetrating Attack (though with the changes to the latter I don't know if it is still as good.) So can only give advice on what I know, hence my suggestion for not using it.

Agreed. I compared the build to my general knowledge of being in PvE and PvP, hence my suggestions. Considering it is all damage focused, I am assuming that's the goal here. If you really don't care about your secondary, I'd say monk for a rez would come in handy, but try out different Ranger/? combinations for the fun of it

I'm iffy on this skill. It's nice to have a little extra healing here and there when needed, but 5 regen for 10e seems like a waste for a Ranger to be using. You might be better off letting the real healers focus on this.

Pets are useless in PvP right now. First, they provide such trivial damage and are barely a distraction or concern. Without any buffs to help them interrupt spells and what not, they're usually ignored. Second, currently when they die you get a DP which is not something you want to be adding to any current DP you might get in PvP. Comfort Animal is horrible in PvP cause your skills will be disabled. Revive Animal is always a better choice as long as you or another member can heal your pet.
Overall, you might want something to increase your arrow speed (Read the Wind, Favorable Winds). I suggest some defense/speed stance to help you if you need to get away from a warrior or something (Lightning Reflexes, Dodge, Storm Chaser). Also, Barbed Trap could come in handy to help protect the monks/casters/you from any charging warriors.
04 Apr 2005 at 12:15 - 11
Im fine with the animal spells and all rangers in my guild to be will have to have a pet because they own in masses.I like the speed up idea.I might get someting to speed up my arrows.Can you combine two arrows like penetrating attack + power attack to have a 50% armor penetrating power shot?

If you're only going to use this on yourself (which I presume since you'll propably have real monks in your group), then use the Troll Unguent instead.
And for pets, please drop them, they're pointless in PvP without any additional spells for interruption or something.

I've seen four pets in a group and they still didn't "own in masses". How many do you plan to have in your team? Plus the Death Penalty makes them very worthless if you or your team is not able to keep them alive.
You can not combine two arrow attacks. Each one is a different attack. Just like you can not combine two sword attacks, two axe attacks, etc. You CAN make a combo out of 2 or more attacks, but they are seperate attacks.
I still say get rid of Comfort Animal. Sure it has quicker cast and recharge, but the fact that it disables your skills for 8 seconds makes it worthless in PvP. And if you are just planning on keeping your pet dead until you have a break where you can afford to have your skills disabled for 8 seconds, what is the point of having a pet? Revive Animal owns Comfort Animal.
As I've said before, your skills are outdated. Other than that the build looks good for what you are wanting to do.
04 Apr 2005 at 21:03 - 15
ill get revive animal then and ill post a new build in a few minutes with some updates
04 Apr 2005 at 21:13 - 16
If this is a PvP build my teams setup will really rip these kind of characters apart like it's nobodies business.
It'd be slightly better if you'd get rid of that pet and changed dodge for something more useful.

How do you like it?
What are you planning to use Arcane Echo for? Anything here with a slow recharge?? Charm Animal without Revival capacities is just lol, it's like offering a free 5% death penalty on you.
Tiger's Fury is good, punishing shot is propably not a very great elite, just OK.
05 Apr 2005 at 23:26 - 23
i guess your right about echo but what is wrong with punishing shot? and what is a better elite arrow attack?

If the pet is killed off easily, why would you want to revive it anyways? Just is going to add up the DP even more quicker. I don't think it's that stupid to not have revive animal especially if you don't plan on supporting your pet to actually make it stronger.
06 Apr 2005 at 01:24 - 25
Hmm, heres a good a place as any to ask for conformation on something:
I was told by someone who plays ranger that the death affects incurred by a pet dying were removed if the pet was revived quickly enough... Is this true?
06 Apr 2005 at 01:28 - 26
Acan? no. You bring it...you incur the penalty. It does go away over time though. The same way when you die, and it goes away with killing things.
EDIT : Mango? (your question below my post here)
There is no "best" elite.... if you do want an alternative though.... could try distracting shot/ barrage .... those could replace echo and punishing shot.
Barrage being your elite swapout...and distracting shot making up for the punishing bonus..while removing echo that you don't need. Not a recommendation..offering you an alternative.
06 Apr 2005 at 02:02 - 27

Davion said it perfectly. There is no best elite bow attack. There is no best any elite or skill in this game. It's all about what fits with your build.
Barrage is good for a nice spam shot with multi-target capablities, but it will get rid of your apply poison. But your skills are very energy heavy, even with Expertise. Marksman's Wager might be a good idea. You may want to look into the Inpsiration Magic line and go with Power Drain, Energy Tap and/or Energy Drain for some interrupts and/or energy stealing.
It might be nice to have some defense skill to help protect you if needed. Dodge, Lightning Reflexes and Whirling Defense are good.
Your build just seems spread too much on what you want to do. You seem to want to be a strong damage dealer. You might have more success with another secondary, like elementalist for example, then sticking with Mesmer. Or just sticking with pure ranger skills like you originally had.

07 Apr 2005 at 03:44 - 32
With that modification.......you have nolonger become energy dependant.
One suggestion then...keep the 2 preps.(apply poison/ read wind) for different instances...might be useful..but you could switch out marksman's wager for say distracting shot. You have a cripple(pindown)....and a damage/condition ( hunter's shot)..... distracting shot would also give you a interrupt.
Being that you are nolonger energy dependant the marksman's wager ends up as a side track for you. Might still be a decent choice....just you could add an interrupt in there where something else nolonger becomes desperately needed.
EDIT : Kha also has a point....could easily switch your illusion for inspiration and take an energy leech skill if you really wanted a quick energy steal for more shot ability rather than looking for a slight damage boost from phantasm.

You have three preparations. Only one can be running at a time. It's a waste of one skill slot, possibly two. You need one less preparation and one more attack skill. Dual Shot would work great with Read the Wind.
I still think Inspiration Magic will be more useful than Illusion Magic, considering you are just using Conjure Phantasm. A well timed interrupt spell (really not that hard to do) on a monk casting is just as powerful as doing more damage if you think about it. Using Power Drain with a good inspiration would mean it could replace Marksman's Wager, leaving you a spot for a better elite.
Only problem with this would be Tiger's Fury (which is not one of my favorite skills.) I suggest sticking with just using Read the Wind and dropping Tiger's Fury. Then your points in Beast Mastery can drop to 1 and the extras can go to Illusion (or Inspiration if you choose it) or maybe something else. You may even replace Tiger's Fury with a pet call or attack that interrupts casters (meaning you would want to keep the points in Beast Mastery).

You will find energy tap early in the game, it does work nice. However you may want to later switch it out for energy drain(an elite) or power drain. Those two will give a higher net energy theft for the same cost and recharge time. Use power drain if you don't want to use up your elite spot.
Reason being, you are only netting 4 energy with tap,..it costs 5 to cast and you get 9 back... the others cost 5 too, more gain. Still nice, it just depends on where you are in the game to grab those skills.
