Default DPS/Interrupt Ranger?

I'm Extremely new to GW Guru and I need some help building a DPS/Interrupt Ranger.

I was thinking somewhere along the lines of R/Rt with...

Wailing weapon
Barrage/Volley
Dual Shot
Triple Shot

Air of Superiority*
Serpent's Quickness*
Ebon Battle standard of honor*

* Optional/replaceable

Input please. ;D

First of all [[distracting shot]. The general consensus is timed, planned interrupts are better than random ones.

honestly just bring with a hero with epidemic for that, save your secondary for something useful. Though I think that daze is overrated tbh, used BHA for half of my vanquishing time, Prepared shot for the rest. I find prepared shot is MUCH better than BHA. Daze is overrated.

The highest Arrow DPS probably comes from the Glass Spiker build, while BHA is the best to interrupt. A mix of damage and interrupt would be splinter barrage (assuming you play PvE and fight large mobs), packed with [Savage Shot] and [Distracting Shot]. Don't spam Savage shot though! Always use Distracting Shot in preference and only hit Savage Shot, if you want to interrupt and your Dis-shot is still on recharge.

For PvP the Choking Gas build is awesome to annoy monks, necros and eles.

[Glass Spiker;OggjcxZc4QzkvSvlwgMG9WFHXMA] you could also take a monk hard rez. Whatever suits you.


[Splinter Barrage;OggjcpZroSzkLGYMqGPGFH5iXMA]

[Choking Gas;OgATcV8mVK4Q2oCsV6xo4A1QAAA]

PS: don't forget to equip the right runes. Effect of runes is not yet taken into account for the skill templates above.

As much as I like the Glass Arrows + Point Blank/Zojun's combo it REALLY needs to have an IAS to produce effective DPS.

Ebon Battle Stardard is nice, except you have attack skills that shorten your range, if your target kites away you move out of the Battle Standard range.

Asuran Scan, also a good skill in some situations, but the 2 seconds it takes you to cast cuts down on your attack time, it's a skill better left to casters.

1 interupt skill doesn't make you an interupter, even though it is one of the Godliest skills in the game. Plus at the start of the battle you'll need to be interupting the most important things most times, however you'll be busy casting Asuran Scan and Battle Standard.

By Urals hammer and I am the Strongest are better choices, although they don't last as long they don't interupt your action with slow cast times.

[Glass Arrows][Point Blank Shot][Zojun's Shot][Distracting Shot][Savage Shot][Dwarven Stability][Lightning Reflexes]["I am The Strongest"]

15 points in Expertise or more
The rest in Marksmanship
High Norn and Dwarf Ranks
15^50 Recurve (Or a Short Bow if your fearless Like Me), Vamp or Sundering, 20% customization

Asuran Scan is now instant cast. I recall getting aftercast at some points, and at others bypassing that, however.

that's why you should use [Triple Shot][Dual Shot][Needling Shot] or [Crossfire], in case you know you will encounter blocking foes.

300 dmg to a caster with a rank1 Triple Shot is really not bad. Even against mesmers who can remove hexes. Just put yourself into spell range (aggro bubble), use Triple Shot and immediately after hit Asuran Scan. Asuran Scan will be applied milliseconds before your arrows hit and thus doesn't leave a chance to remove it before taking massive damage.

[Asuran Scan] is a ranger's best friend (talking about single target builds here) and whenever you can make room for it, you should take it.

Can't say I've used Asuran Scan much, but I'm assuming it works for overall damage.

If you're using ebon vanguard, you should look at [Kindle Arrows]. Yeah normally jank, but vanguard triggers twice off of it, which outpaces every other prep then for pure +dmg, even at low wilderness.

Been having fun with flail in PvP lately, I'd even try frenzy in PvE if you can't use ED as your elite for whatever reason.

It's an old one, had much fun with something like it, with Flurry as IAS. Since Nightfall I'd run Flail probably. Keep in mind that daze increases casting times and this increases the chance of interrupting something.
