I mainly play PvP in RA with this build:

lightning orb
lightning surge {E}
enervating charge
lightning strike
blinding flash
shock
air attunment
rez sig

i can easily kill a caster with 2 cycles of spiking, and shutdown a warrior with blinding flash, enervating charge and shock. but when facing rangers, i am totally pissed. any suggestions?

also looking for a guild that do HA or GvG

binding flash the ranger?

with servers ping and human reaction is hardly impossible for a ranger to interupt 1 sec cast spell with 0.5 sec attack.

if he manage it anyway it mean he is guessing when you cast the spell so begin to delay your spell with random time.

if even so you have probrem take out shock for shield up

Blinding flash works nicely. Also your enervating charge's weakness affects bow attacks as well. Really I am not sure why rangers would be more of a problem for RA then War. Maybe all the wammos haven't given you a good enough taste of "raging in your face pain."

Hide behind an obstruction and use Blinding Flash.

thats overkill.
simply hiding or blinding is enough

He means so that your blinding flash can't get interupted.

If you use Elemental Attunement instead of Lightening Surge. Then you can blind both warrior and the ranger in a cycle with plenty of energy left. Of course you need good damage dealers when doing this since you won't be able to do much damage if you really need/want to blind both of them.

Rangers have plus armor against elements and are designed to be a tough draw. Simply avoid targetting rangers without help. Cast blinding flash on them and switch targets.

Distortion before casting spells will stop most ranger interrupts.

My suggestion is ditching lightning surge for ether prodigy or elemental attument. You can then flashspam the ranger.

Try this:
12+1+4 Air
10+1 Energy Storage
8 Inspiration

Lightning Strike
Lightning Orb
Enervating Charge
Blinding Flash
Ether Prodigy
Drain Enchantment
Mantra of Resolve
Rez Sig

Simple build that should be able to handle anything in RA. You can nail warriors and rangers with blind (and weakness if there are multiple warriors) and spam lightning orb all you want. You can also pull an enchantment or two (useful from time to time.)
