been playing gw for over 7 months now ( was part of the beta ) and pretty muvhtried most combos , currently have warrior monk for general pve, ele monk for solo and pve ( currently water ele which rocks once you reach desert onwards before ive been fire ele at start and was air ele for 75% of the game, earth ele for pvp now water ele which works great using maelstrom in sorrows and grenths), also have solo monk build (105) for farming hydras/griffons really when im short of gold for other builds and need a quick couple of plat.. one point here is ive used the 105 build for complete pve quests and though its been hard at times due to DP being based on standard 480 health ( 105 drops to 33 health at 15%, next dp makes u impossible to res. the reason, runes arent taken into death penalty pecentages so 15% of standard 480 is 72 reduction dropping 105 to 33, 30% DP puts a 105 build in the minus bracket ( if its based on 30% of original its reduction of 144 so -39 on a 105 build, if its based on your next heaalt lvl after 15% dp its 61.2 off of the remaining 33) ..in my view anet should fix this and make dp based on true health with runes, weapon/armour health etc and not the base health of 480.anyway to continue, i also have had a necro /warrior build and a few other builds since playing but now im building a mesmer/ranger. browsing through this orum it seems most mesmers are based on secondary warriors, monks or necros and theres very few thoughts on mesmer/ranger. rather than negative responses as to why amesmer ranger wont work/is crap etc id like to hear from those who already have a pve mesmer /ranger and what they consider are the best skill combos for this. im currently lvl 8 and so far building around a domination mesmer but tend to use a bow at least 80% of the time for dmg so im looking at marksmanship being at least 9 dom 12-15, but then that leaves me undecided as to where to go from there, the main purpose of the build is 3 fold, to back up and assist team in pvp, general pve questing and possible solo/duo farming.. positive responses only please
