Hello everyone
i used to play guild wars, and now i restarted
and im looking for a good pve rangerbuild that puts out good damage.

I watched some sites but most builds were old and i heard there were a lot of updates so...
i only have prophecies so i cant combine ranger with any of the new profs.

So can someone give me a good build? Thanks in advance

Read the sticky for forum rules. Not allowed to ask for builds. Try using PvX to search for a build, or use the Ranger guide to get ideas. Hope I get this typed before a mod locks it

Your best bet would be burning arrow for pvp or incendairy arrows for pve... or both, no idea... that's the elite... the rest of the bar are quite obvious... savage short, dist shot, apply poison, a rezz and some dmg attacks... another choice is to take ele as 2nd prof and run barrage with an elemental string...

Not much choice, but it's something

My suggestion would be to take the game slow, and try out different skill combination and just experiment and be flexible. People that tell you to go to PvX or the Sticky are under the assumption that those sources even have good ranger builds, which they don't. Ranger seems to be one of those professions that really have no set build. You take what you need. I am really starting to understand that concept more and more as I play ranger compared to other professions. The term Jack of all trades isn't so much that you CAN run anything, but that you SHOULD. You have no set build to use, you use what is needed. Heavy casting, you whip out BHA. Large groups, Barrage, etc...

Your best friend for ranger builds isn't PvX, but gw.gamewikis.org. Look up each mission before you start, check out enemies present and any tips or suggestions. That will determine your build. That why it is key to familiarize yourself with each skill, so you can research an area, pick the right skills and start.

I wonder if my advice is applicable to all professions?

Most people use barrage+dwarven stability+lightning reflexes, as the easiest skills to get, wich gives 75% blocking chance for a long duration, 33% speed boost in IAS, and barrage for major damage. Some people can't get those skills, so it all depends on your campaign and secondary profession.
