PvP Ranger Vs Warrior, can a ranger win?
Yesterday a fellow guildie wanted to go one on one with his warrior vs. my ranger.
Currently my ranger is set up with a nice interrupt build that I use in EotN, so I figured that's NOT what I would want to use against a warrior.
Could my little ranger girl smack down on a huge armor clad warrior? So what would I use? Pin Down? Traps? Could a ranger win against a warrior 1 on 1? I would say yes with the right build and strategy, but it would require a well thought out build and a lot of skill. I'd like to challenge him, but not until I have a decent chance of winning.
Any ideas from anyone? Stories? Advice?
Thanks.

[Crippling Shot][Apply Poison][screaming shot][Savage Shot][distracting shot]
=Win in 100 seconds.
Skill #1 to keep him away from you, skills 2 and 3 for degen pressure, skill 4 for interrupting random skills, skill 5 for interrupting Healing Signet.

Dshot > Disrupting shot, but yea that's basically it. Takes a good knowledge of how to position yourself.

Typo obviously. I don't play Ranger [or any class for that matter].

^^ Cripple him and just use bleeding and poison to degen him to death. Bring D-Shot and maybe a couple other interupts should he decide to heal himself. Should be easy pickings. Ideally he'll never get close to pose a threat. If you're stupid enough to stand there while he's charging at you with a head full of steam you deserve to lose.

Except for the elite Crippling Shot (which is not one of the five elites I currently have) I have all those others on my current build. I'll check out CS and where I can cap it, if it's up by Ring of Fire islands, that'll be a problem. I only went as far as Beacons with this ranger and then I got a run to Droknar's where I leveled her to 20, went to Lion's Arch and I've been in EotN ever since.
My ranger has a mesmer secondary, any mesmer skills that might help?

Actually, I thought I was a hard core ele player until I meet my ranger (I totally adore rangers now), so I'm used to playing squishy characters that can't go toe to toe with any melee character. I don't let anyone get close to me, so you can't bet I'm not going to stand there. That's suicide.
My strategy I think in this is exactly what you said, though, about not letting him get close enough to pose a threat. I'll have to keep him pinned down, crippled and bleeding and then dope slap him with an interrupt if he decides to heal.
I'm going to make a build this afternoon and get used to it before I challenge him though.
Thanks for all the good advice and strategy ideas.

You can also use something like this:
[burning arrow] [apply poison] [lightning reflexes] [whirling defense] [screaming shot]

yeah not really. cripshot build i linked, generic (but good) ranger build, not much thought, easy to keep a war crippled and poisoned while kiting his crippledness.

I'd follow the Cripshot build Rhamia gave you, swapping out the res sig for [[Debilitating Shot].
Or for the lulz run a touch ranger and laugh in his face if you win.
Or for EPIC lulz drop Mending Touch and go R/Me for [[Sympathetic Visage].

On the off chance he gets into range bring [throw dirt] and [whirling defense]
Unless he runs some wierd build full of secondary prof skills he should have 0 chance of winning.

Comeon Falynn! You made a great impression on some of your previous posts! Don't let us down!
Just pack Pin Down and watch him die to your extreme DPS of 8 with Apply Poison, or take Melandru's Shot and predict him to get the cripple onto him. I personally think you should take Pin Down and Melandru's Shot for a guaranteed snare and a pressure based attack skill.
There is absolutely no way a Ranger could lose against a Warrior in a skirmish. The only time you should lose is when the Warrior is running a shit load of healy crap which would be too much for a Ranger to shut down.
[pin down][melandru's shot][apply poison][natural stride][no skill][no skill][no skill][no skill]
And you've practically won. You can use Hunter's Shot for Melandru's Shot, but I'd like to run both if I'm running Melandru's Shot.

Hi. And BTW I'm a she. So to be correct here it's "I'm the warrior she's 1v1ing". Yes. A true and real female. LOL.
I'm going to look into getting [crippling shot].
Really, my biggest hurdle is mental; that is to get past my natural female-like reluctance to go 1 on 1. Maybe some females are okay with it, but I've never been a PvP kinda player.
Thanks again for advice. And Rhamia, your link rocks. Tyla, gulp, I'll try not to let you down!
P.S. I just found out that I can get [crippling shot] in EotN in the Drakkar Lake area from the boss Koren Wildrunner. That's pretty easy, so I'm off to snag it.

W/D = no condition removal wsup?
Also... my build is still the best. Everyone else is overthinking tbh.
Oh yea. And get rid of the shitty Flatbow you're probably used to using, get something with a smaller arc. (Recurve)
