i want to see the ranger with the best damage output, and i want screenshots,i dont care if your ranger does 1 billion damage, without screenshots your post will/should be ignored. i wanna see a high damage ranger in pvp, just take a screenie, dont hold down shift, i want to be able to see the skills you are using, and give us a lil info bout him/her

if you think your ranger does a fair amount of damage in pvp post up, dont be scared.

What's wrong with that? No terrorists have attacked us (the U.S.) again. If they do we will kill no until they stop or are completely deystroyed. That's show war works: kill until there is nothing left of the enemy or untill the enemy surrenders. It's not meant to be pretty. And the cost is high for both sides.

Knife, what is your avatar?

Knife, what is your avatar? Unless your the French or Germans LOL. Then you just roll over and take it. You do havta wonder if osama or saddam are regreting some of their decisions about now . The biggest mistake the US did was not going after terrorists 40yrs ago.

Now back to the OP question I dont have any screen shots of a high dmg Ranger because they really dont exist, some might be decent dmg but not high enough to be considered "spike" dmg wich is about the only dmg that counts in Tombs because most grps employ 3 monks. But to be fair it still takes multible elemenatalists to get a high enough spike to be usefull.

Oh God. I resort to GW to get away from this political sh!t. I argue + hear enough of this in my real life. Please dont infect GW with it too.

However, I cant help myself, I must at least say something

No terrorists have attacked the United States homeland in a while, for a very good reason. They are busy attacking the soldiers (targets) we have kindly set out for them in Iraq. ~1800 of them dead so far. The great part is, as soon as America pulls out (a long time form now, to be sure) Iraq will go right back to their former "tyrannical" society. This is because for 1500 years (6 times as long as America has existed) The entire middle east has been under that kind of rule. Imagine the during the Cold War the USSR conquers the USA, sets up a communist government, and leaves. What will happen after they leave?..... Exactly.

Now, there are numerous other important issues (China, the Deficit, etc)which the USA must address, and lets just say the Iraq war hasnt helped.

In an act of self control, I will cut myself off here- and hope that this thread gets back to topic or is locked.

hmm i wasn't clear at all, what i mean is all throughtout the forums there are people claiming to be able to do around 100 dmg in pvp, yet they dont offer proof of it. so what im asking for is a screen shot of your character doing high dmg in pvp, so i can see your build ideas, what buffs/skills you have ect ect.

High damage eh. Well damage depends on a lot of variables. The most damage my ranger has ever done with one shot is 101 to another ranger BUT that was using a timed iterrupt that hit perfectly and coming off a condition that this ranger had on him. You wanna screen shot? Go to the arenas and take your own pics. People who know how to play a ranger normally do between 41 & 73 damage - at least the ones I've seen. Anything more is a lucky hit.

See this thread. Screenshots are meaningless -- it's easy to setup unrealistic situations and fire a shot that does ridiculous damage. If you really want to demonstrate high damage possibilities, just post the skills used, the relevant attributes, and do the math. Math is proof, screenshots don't mean much when you can't account for all the variables (does the enemy have weaken armor cast on them, for example, and what armor are they wearing anyhow?). You want to demonstrate 100+ damage (which, again, is child's-play), post the math, that's the only real proof you could actually provide; a screenshot doesn't prove anything.

Aww, and here I thought there was going to be a build in here. How dissapointing.

I, personally, can't do 100 damage consistantly, but with a max damage short bow that has no upgrades I can hit for about 70 +/- against casters using Penetrating Attack. Getting 100 with a good bow wouldn't be too bad of a stretch.

Jude's Insight and Weaken armor don't work together. O yea, for some reason I thought Judge's Insight and Penetrating added up to 45%. But it's only 40%. ALso do horn bows actually penetrate armor, and how much? That could add some more damage.

Is there a definite thread on where we could find weapon properties? Or has Anet released some sort of FAQ or article about weapons? It would be great if someone could compile, or Anet release a list of the different properties a weapon could have to save everyone else the trouble.

I'd play in the arenas as much as I could so you could see what the best rangers are doing. It's not hard to spot their skills and techniques. I'd talk about builds but I'm very happy with mine.....

Two high damage ranger combos:

R/Me: Fragility, IA, Tiger's Fury
R/E: Quickening Zephyr, Kindle Arrows, Quick Shot, Tiger's Fury, Conjure Flame

The former works at 0-3 wilderness survival because the fire only lasts for a second, so every shot triggers fragility twice.
The latter works because recharge times round, so zephyr makes QS's 1s recharge time become 0s.

The former is quite obviously better than the latter, but the latter is quite fun.

Replace Lightning Reflexes with Tiger's Fury. Its recharge is much much quicker (10 seconds)

As a R/E, consider the spell Mark of Rodgort from the Fire magic line combined with Conjure Flame. For 8-18 seconds, the target will be set on fire for 1-3 seconds each time it's hit with fire damage. And although pure damage is nice, I would recommend Apply Poison as a preperation instead of Kindle Arrows, or perhaps using Apply Poison and then Kindle Arrows. Then again, I have a 'poison all the enemies in a cycle' fetish, so don't mind me.

the fragility ranger does the most damage when i use rangers, but you have to remember to hex stack, or its just a waste of time as monks/mesmers will have that hex off in no time.

The thing with using Oath Shot to refresh Lightning Reflexes, instead of Tiger's Fury is you'll still only have it up less than half the time-
10 or 11 seconds a time, and factor in the extra time to fire off Oath Shot, which refreshes every 20 seconds. And also there's the extra energy of Oath Shot.

I tried it myself for exactly your reasons (and the fact it doesn't block your other skills for a few secs, and you don't need to concentrate on keeping it up every 5-7 secs)but usually go with Fury cause it saves a skill slot & a bit of energy.

Why would you want pure damage... rangers are known for (apart from notoriously sucking) being able to survive in harsh conditions. Although this is stretched, you'd have to at least incorporate troll unguent/healing spring with an evade skill, or you might as well go air ele and have fun casting 250s on unsuspecting monks.
