HoA Spear chucker works well in RA.
Touch ranger for farming is good sometimes.
Healing breeze i never used it but i see many people using it.

But you can't negate the effectivity of HoA spear chuker giving constant damage and degen (poison, bleeding, burning)

Many people also rely on tank n' spank or Ursan to beat PvE.
Conclusion? Many people are incredibly bad at GW.

And.. weren't HaO spearchuckers originally... Hero builds because they're too retarded to run a BA properly?

Seriously, I can't see a compelling reason to run a spearchucker over a BA on a real human (well, Cripshot/Magebane atm). DShot is too strong if you know how to use it, and the survivability offered by Nat/Troll/MTouch far surpasses HaO.

What is it with people on this forum and thinking that effective builds and fun builds are mutually exclusive?

For some effective builds to be fun (im talking of a normal Bow Elite/Savage/DShot/AP) it has to be played to a certain level. If you don't reach this level the build will become tiresome and frustrating and you'll probably ditch it in favour if a so-called "fun" gimmicky 1-2-3-4 build e.g. Spear Chucker Heal As One.

The central point is that there's no a mid good interrupter. Or you are a good interrupter or you fail. And to play a good interrupter you must be concentrated.
If you wanna some relax playing ra or ab HoA spear chucker is the way since it easy to play.

In anycase interrupter depend also from the other player team. Even if you are the best interrupter in gw RA can be frustrating. Things change in TA

R/D of course
12+1+1 expertise
10 earth prayers
8+1 marksmanship

This is really about as good as that pve prot para with tntf/sy at damage reduction except vs all caster groups (for those just throw in concussion shot for savave). Does this one count as 'gimmicky' Wakka?

Looks like a variant of Ebon Dust Arrow that also used to cripple, iirc, this Volley variant is less gimmicky then the old one though, which spread blindness and crippling with [wiki]Harrier's Grasp[/wiki] (talk about spreading attribs...).

Yrah we vanquished 3 areas with the monks sleeping yesterday since the melee foes spent 90% of the time blind (except when we pulled all crazy).

Not really. Its a bit mindless but i've tried something along the same lines before and know it can be effective in melee orintated areas.

I don't know about you guys but, personally, I prefer using no secondary profession when it comes to PvE. For PvE I use pure ranger. Furthermore, thought I love Ranger more than any other profession I do not like using it for PvP or Farming. Thus, I only ever use pure Ranger. In fact, I am dissapointed how I can not erradicate my R/Mo from my name. I would just prefer to have R20

I like playing guild wars, where people can choose from all 10 primary professions and the other 9 for secondary. This allows a player to make strong characters and to somewhat balance the weak points of any primary profession. But like everything else in guild wars, there is no 'best'.

Are we teh only one who would like to ba able to do that when they have Zero pts/skills from their secoundary?
Of course that doesn't mean droping it completely, just being able(bluff is alway a good thing) to hide the secoundary.
