If you're on the american servers, look out for me. I regularly farm SF with my friend. We take him (W/E), me (R/Me - ranger skills only), Lina, Mehnlo and Cynn. And we do just fine. We'd be happy to take another ranger along

or do as I do when he's not online. Take every hench from War Camp except Aiden. You'll have no problems with just killing things (quests can be a different matter due to hench stupidity)

My R/Mo is ALWAYS the last one standing in farming parties. Sadly, some ppl arent mentally adept enough to use Rangers. I find as a whole, more tanks are morons.

Beacause.

1: they regen fast, so they assume EVERYONE regens as fast as them.
2: they are in the front, and tend to aggro...EVERYTHING

Of course, not all tanks do this, but some players are dumb dumb dumb.

I also find it hard with my Ranger to get a group too. Even to do the story line.
mines is a Ranger/Necro build yes odd build but IMO it's working very nice it'smy 1st real character that gotten to lvl 11...

i take with me Troll Ungent, Ignight arrow, Distracting Shot. then blood magic for necro why you ask it's how i like to play and Distracting shot helps on them monk and necro type mobs alot specially when there casting heal area and life siphon or nother health dilabating spell.

ranger is very strong with trap and interrupting. strongest degenner =/
just think of fighting a ranger.. can make u crippled, blind, poison, bleed, on fire =/
r/me can add another conjure =/

ah yes, interrupt. one of my favorite interrupts is concussion shot. lay this down on a monk who attempts a desperate heal, or an mursaat ele who tries a chain lightning, and boom, insta-win. i love watching the purple flashes on their casting bars as they continually fail to cast spells. i also keep a distracting shot to cancel their glyph of concentration. and with that, total shutdown that only mesmers can rival.

What can we do ?

Former Ruling · Nov 05, 2005, 06:28 PM // 18:28

Just to note - Me and another Ranger friend of mine (both ranger/ele's) took henchies, and were able to almost completely clear out Grenth Footprint only dying once (and we went up to Granite Citidel too - since I had not mapped it yet).

Check this out. The other day I helped a guildie infuse his armor. No one was taking Rangers. I spammed "rangers only for infusion run" I already had one really cool monk and a R/e on the team. We ended up one Monk and all Rangers. OMG it wasthe most fun thing I have ever done. After we got the guys infused, we went out hunting. All you heard was when we attacked was
swish swish swish swish swish swish/ thack thack thack thack thack.....THUMP monster dead. I have never seen a Mussarat die that fast!
The point is, it seems that a pack of Rangers with a monk to look after us is a very powerfull combination. This may not work for all situations, but im gonna experiment a little with this concept just for fun sakes. By the way if you guys load
Powershot
Apply poison
Chocking Gas
Lighning reflexes
Tigers fury
Troll Urgent
Rez or Whirling defense
and use a short bow with like 15%>50

You will be a Gatling gun!

Providing your attribute/ runes are set correctly
Apply poison, the shoot first target, hit Lighting Reflexes, and time it. Use Tigers when Lightning ends, and you will shoot at double the normal speed as long as you want. You will poison the hell out of what ever you are attaking.
