Most Useless ranger skills ever
Kariston The Swift
I have to disagree with all the people who said that Trapper's Focus sucks...I like using it cause its not a stance so I can have serpents up all the time with it. I'll admit its not as useful as Oathshot Trapping but in 12v12 you can make some godly trap bombs with it when no enemys are around to Oath shot.

If no enemies are around then you don't have to use Trapper's Focus to avoid interruption.
But I agree that it is a decent skill. You can lay down more than one trap interrupt free, it's not a stance, and lets you use something other than /me if you want to trap.

My vote for most useless ranger skill definitely goes to Archer's Signet.. Yea, drop it with call of protection with 16 beast mastery, and you're pet can take a s**t-kicking that can make warriros blanche.

This is one of my I point thought because I capped this skill and never used before. Well, I think I talk a little faster than testing myself. Its good but, I'm not really a good trapper so..... I put it away for a while when I'll have the time for it.

Heal As one does how much exactly in healing? 150-180 HP for both while health is below 75% of you or your pet? I havent tested at 16 beastmastery.

Looking at it alone, it's not a bad skill at all. It' just that it's forced to compete with Ferocious Strike and Enraged Lunge.
Francis Demeules
1 to gain Adrenaline and Energy (Ferocious Strike)
1 to to Big dmg in one blow (Enraged Lunge)
1 to do self defense with healing (Heal As One)

Archer's sig is quite useful for concussion shot, spamming needling shot, or working inside of a mursaat tower.

3 Missions in the game have mursaat towers..having a few extra shots inside a murssat tower that's only in 3 missions isn't exactly elite worthy..even if it means getting a concussion shot (in which the seals have a glyph of concentration to counter) off. Needling shot isn't worth the shots for archer's signets as they're pretty much nothing with high enough expertise, which you'll need to be able to make use of an elite...

No, 40 armour is half damage, 20 is somet like 44% The only use that skill has is if your in a large team of Beastmasters. Its hardly gonna find a place in Barrage/Pet as the pets don't really have to live.

Otyugh's cry should be turned into a spell where all local animals turn to level 20 and mimic your own pet, then i'd be kind of awesome.

Just to say like that, my highest damage my pet did was about 130dmg.

degen to death, didnt have enouth energy to remove conditions. since pet wasnt doin "fast" damage bonneties def wasnt very good source of e income.
just so u know, im kinda noob in the warior thing, since shes only 2 weeks old and i never had 1 before, so I dont have ALOT of skills and any elites yet, but got all max armor (kinda got rushed by guildies through the game to HzH)
but that was fun

It could have just as easily been Dire as Hearty from the screens, since they're both the same size. I'm curious as to which the wolfie was. Hearty or Dire? With Call of Prot + Symbiotic Bond, a Dire pet would have been quite a bit more dangerous than a Hearty one.

I think all Ranger skills have their uses, you just have to figure them out.

Dire. 
My old one was hearty but I want a serious beastmaster build, which demands Dire. That's the reason it was a lower level.

Archer's Signet, awful skill
Francis Demeules
Archer signet is so useful against E-drainer or something like that. You have no energy, what do you do? Archer Sig and tada, you can use your skills without energy. At first, I thought it was basicly to reduce concussion shot cost but I see something more useful.

Because rangers always have a problem with those e-drain mesmers camping them?
If you're being e-drained instead of your monk(s) then something's very wrong with the other team and you should be thankful your monks can heal instead of being pissed off you can only shoot people...
Ranger skills aren't that energy extensive anyways, Concussion/Broad Head Arrow top the list at 25 energy, which should be reduced drastically by expertise, otherwise you shouldn't be using Archer's Signet at a low expertise anyways...

This skill can be used with Call of Protection for basically a tank. The 15 base damage reduction and the +20 armor is pretty much all you're going to need to have one beast of a tank.

I have to say that the most useless skill for ranger is point blank shot (and it's copy).
I understand it's usage, extra damage at the loss of range, however, I personally beleive that the range is far more valuable, unless you are using a long/flatbow on the top of a hill, which is sheer stupidity since you should be using the increase in range with a short/recurve bow to fire faster with more accuracy.

hmm. i did see Famine being posted above but im wondering what if it were to be coupled with Sympathetic Visage (or its copy)? what would happen, would it trigger once on the (smites) or would it keep triggering making it like a super duper SS forever thing...hmmm

Famine is one of the E-denial primary skill for Ranger. You use Famine and you shot Debilitating Shot (-10 energy) and the E-Denial mesmer will use his/her skills at the same target with Mind Wrack. When the Target goes to 0, Famine + Mind Wrack dmg. When the target has upper than 1 energy and you drop him/her again to 0, Famine will triggering again.
Good E-Denial teamwork.

Retribution
I'm waiting for anet to somehow incorporate a pet rez in either charm animal or heal as one, why do you need 2 skills just to be able to use some half retarded animal? They need to make heal as one rez the animal and either heal bigger or recharge faster (prefer the latter). Famine is good for team e-denial + pressure (1 ranger set this up and 4 warriors spamming fear me). Conflagration sucks unless you have an ele putting mark of rodgort on everyone but then you could just use a fiery bowstring. Its only real use is to screw up ranger spike using orders, but even without orders its going to be painful.

a 10 sec recharge stance vs 60 sec recharge stance. Oh and both 10 sec max they last. For evade, I stay with Escape or WD (with Oath Shot)
