Ok so before i begin i just wanna say, I have never even played guild Wars before, lol. But i did alot of research on what I want when I start playing.

Expertise 10, +3 Rune, +1 Hat
Marksmanship 11, +1 Rune
Beastmastery 3, +1 Rune
Wilderness Survival 10

Distracring Shot
Pin Down
Penetrating Attack
Tiger's Fury (when it says " All your non-attack skills are disabled " does it mean that if I for example had kindle Arrows before i Activated Tiger's Fury, there will be no additional Damage?)
Kindle Arrows
Barrage {E}
Dust Trap/Barbed/trap/(some kind of Trap)
Favorible Winds (will it stack with Tiger's Fury?)

You cant use barrage with kindle arrows, since kindle is a preparation and barrage removes all preparations. Spamming barrage results in a slight reduction in attack speed, so you might wanna add serpents quickness. Also, if you had simply added 1 elementalist or monk secondary buff, you'd get an increase of around 15 damage to each of your shots.

You can't use preperations, but you can use conjure flame/ice/lightning combined with barrage to do a bunch of damage.

To a group. Barrage is overshadowed by quick shot in terms of single target damage, as so many people have said.

cool

I think My build will now look somthing like this:

Expertise 10, +3 Rune, +1 Hat
Marksmanship 11, +1 Rune
Beastmastery 3, +1 Rune
Wilderness Survival: 7
Fire Magic: 7

Distracring Shot
Pin Down
Penetrating Attack
Tiger's Fury
Kindle Arrows
Barrage {E}
Dust Trap/Barbed/trap/(some kind of Trap)
Conjure Flame

And im guessing there is some kind of Fire Bow string thing i could add to my bow for conjure flame to work with Barrage? is there?

Edit: Well Im not really looking for single Target Damage, for that i have Kindle arrows, Conjure Flame, And stacked with Tiger's Fury, i think is more then enough (even though ill prolly be energy drained or somthing) and Barrage has no Casting time =O

Yeah there is. And again, you'll do roughly 2x the damage with tiger's fury with quick shot.

Quick shot would be better against one person, but barrage is better against mulitple. Can you use conjure flame+kindle arrows+quicks shot+tigers fury?

Something more like flame, kindle, tiger's or serpents quickness (or both) and spam quick shot like crazy.

Lol yeah thats what Im looking for, but do u think that maybe if I have a flamestring anyways, I should have the Poision Preperation thingie instead of kindle? And if I WILL go barrage for multiple Targets, I think Poision will do better then just fire Damage. What do u think?

If you go barage, getting poison prep would be useless, since barrage alone is aoe and can't be used with preps. cycling targets with poison is overkill. Poison is easily removed in pvp by a mend ailment or purge conditions. I'm talking mostly about pvp though, but you'll have an easier time with barrage in pve.

Oh, and i have another question, does a skill start Recharging Right after u use it? like with Conjure flame it lasts 60 secs, and recharge is 60 secs, so is there really a one minute period where u cant use conjure flame? or is the skill ready right after it ends?

A skill starts recharing right after you use it (maybe even right after you start casting it, not entirely sure). so you can always have conjure flame on (I believe)

You can always keep conjure up, providing someone doesn't shatter it with a spell.
