For an interupter, you should have some pretty good reflexes. And you can still pack a little damage in there too!

try this out.

Savage Shot
Distracting Shot (optional, depends if you want one or two interupts)
Sloth Hunters Shot (if you have GWEN)
Triple Shot
Dual Shot
Conjure Flame
Troll Unguent
some for of rez


-being the noob you said you are, you might not have some of these skills yet, remember, guildwiki and pvxwiki are your best friends, try some things out on your own and see what works for you!

Its not easy to be an interrupter at first, it takes great reflexes as well as quite a bit of practice to get really good at it. Interrupts are not something you can just load onto your bar and expect to get the most out of... its definitely a player skill. You should easily be able to stop a 2-second cast time spell at this point. Anything faster, you need to be a bit quicker than you likely expect. Practice will help you understand how it works and when to fire.

from such a far range and with monks i don't see why you would need this much defense unless you were going for a survivor title

i think you should add interrupts or more attack skills at least.

Hey, you guys should actually test a build before you judge it. I just tested my first R/D build in pvp Fort Aspenwood, and i did fairly well with it. I dont have all the skills unlocked, or GWEN, so i improvised a bit. it was 9 expertise instead of 7, and 7 wilderness instead of 9 (without runes). I didnt ever run out of energy (full radiant insignia, +5 energy bow=38 energy) and i was able to mantain enchantments just fine. In the first match, i died twice, once because i was talking to my friend and wasnt paying attention, and the second time because i forgot to put my enchants up after i spawned . The second match i played, i died 7 times. Every single death i had was when 2 assassins and 1 warrior teamed up on me and i didnt even have time to move my mouse down to my skillbar before-dead. no joke they were like hitting me with 200 dps each at LEAST. Oh yea and the skills were first 5 same, then triple shot, distracting shot, and throw dirt. So my point is, my build isnt really that bad, i could mantain energy, survive, and deal out about 40 damage a hit, so the damage is on a low side, but the build was meant to survive, not do damage so i feel i did well.

It is indeed. Use Dual Shot instead.

Somehow I totally missed this post:

Yes it works. I'm assuming you were expecting to see something physical on the ground after using the skill... its hidden. If an enemy walks into that area sometime between casting and the 90 second limit, the trap will activate, do its damage, and cause its effects.

Traps are decent but should be kept in a dedicated "trapping build" to avoid attribute and build shittiness issues.

Instead of Apply Poison, try either Kindle Arrows or Expert Focus. and id agree with replacing dust cload with Throw dirt, although i dont think u need a blinding skill if ur PvE
Yes, and Lightning Reflexes is a good option

and have atleast one rune of Vitae of Vigor, preferably Vigor cuz im pretty sure Vigor stacks... but the price bites (15P)

I like your build, but I would substitute dual shot for ignite arrows (don't forget to use a fiery bow with conjure).

Please don't devote your entire bar to 'interrupting', note that theres no place for an 'interruptor' in GW because a lot of skills are almost impossible to interrupt, using D-shot and savage shot is enough or simply go with BHA.

Please no. I truly hope that was sarcasm.

Burning Arrow, Prepared Shot (and Broad Head Arrow if you have Factions) are all better than barrage in most circumstances. A preparation is too valuable a skill to lose in a Ranger build. If you don't have Factions you can't even play Splinter Barrage

Here is the spells I use

I did test barbed trap.. Does even work???? It didn't for me

Edit. I'm ranger/monk.. lol.
mend ailment should be switched for mending touch.
healing breeze switched out for troll unguent.
storm chaser for natural stride.
barbed trap for distracting shot.
bane signet for savage shot.
keep res.
buy apply poison and a capture signet,go on wiki to find burning arrow(if you own factions,broad head arrow is a brill choice)
there are other ranger elites,but burning arrow is the way to go(i personally use keen arrow>savage shot btw)
try this and own stuffs:P

No it doesn't. If you want to do area damage, be an Elementalist. In the best of circumstances, Barrage is a mediocre elite. The skills Celestial Beaver mentioned beat it hands-down.

What about Barrage with a Conjure? I've always debated this myself, but never quite decided which way to go with this. Is it better to go with a Conjure Barrage to inflict the damage from the Conjure onto multiple enemies, or is it more useful to go with a Conjure + Prep + Dual/Triple Shot to do damage on a single character?

I hate Barrage almost. The only time I would ever take it is if I was helping some lower-level out in a mission with lots of lower level enemies. With Barrage you can take a good section of HP off them if they are significantly lower. Other than that, why an EARTH make a skill that gets rid of preps. It makes it a horrible Elite IMO.
