Not the best but...

[barrage][distracting shot][savage shot][go for the eyes] bla bla bla

Basically adrenaline based/cheap shouts.

This Team Build includes an excellent Hero/Player Ranger/Paragon Build

I run my ranger with a Hero RangerParagon with pretty much the same build and have had excellent luck. Pets are optional so you can experiment with it easily.

Hope you do too...

[build prof=R/P name="Packhunter" box Beastmastery=10+1+1 Expertise=8+1 Spear=12][Spear Of Lightning][Blazing Spear][Merciless Spear][Poisonous Bite][Tiger's Fury][Heal As One][Charm Animal][Signet Of Return][/build]

In which case I'd go for this:

but removing the Factions-only elite and skills and sticking in Nightfall ones:
[build prof=R/P name="Packhunter" box Beastmastery=10+1+1 Expertise=8+1 Spear=12][Spear Of Lightning][Blazing Spear][Merciless Spear][Ferocious Strike][Lightning Reflexes][Comfort Animal][Charm Animal][Signet Of Return][/build]

With a Spear and Shield (yes, you only get the base 8 armor from the shield, but you also get the shield mods too remember) you can be quite a tough character. Could replace Lightning Reflexes or Spear of Lightning with [[Apply Poison].

Muhahaha! Two can play at that game, removing the factions only pet attack and prophecies IAS:
[build prof=R/P name="Packhunter" box Beastmastery=10+1+1 Expertise=8+1 Spear=12 Wild=5+1][Spear Of Lightning][Blazing Spear][Cruel Spear][Apply Poison][Lightning Reflexes][Comfort Animal][Charm Animal][Signet Of Return][/build]

Sorry

I beat you to it

Also, I was only assuming he only had Nightfall as his detailed post said very little else. If the OP has Factions, get over to Kaineng and buy Poisonous Bite and [[Bestial Fury], and capture Heal as One!

It's probably also worth noting that just because you're Ranger/Paragon, it doesn't mean you have to use any Paragon skills at all. I mean, the R/P Packhunter is pretty powerful and fun, but if you want a general Marksman build check the stickied Ranger Guide for some ideas.

It's Nightfall so....

[skill]Never Rampage Alone[/skill][skill]Barbed Spear[/skill][skill]Disrupting Throw[/skill][skill]Ferocious Strike[/skill][skill]Apply Poison[/skill][skill]Comfort Animal[/skill][skill]Charm Animal[/skill][skill]Resurrection Signet[/skill]

Because rangers should always have an interupt. Get Posion and Bleeding on all targets and Interupt away. Ferocious should be able to maintain the energy, though it's a 4 attribute spread which isn't spectacular.

So maybe drop Apply for [skill]Blazing Spear[/skill] or [skill]Merciless Spear[/skill] making that switch would make it a 3 atribute spread and less energy intensive.

But yeah, once your Sunspear rank is up there aways you have to take advantage of that imba PvE only skills.

12 in Beast (10+2) Break point for Ferocious to get 9 energy back
10 in Spear (be sure to meet the weapon req)
13 in Expertise (11 + 1 + 1) Break point to reduce 25e skills to 12e

now these kind of builds.

Lets talk spears?

15%/50 mod +30hp, We got that. BUT?

Zelous, Sundering, barbed, cruel?

Which one works best? Is there any of them who does NOT work?

I think the only condition lengthening mod that would be worth considering for these type of builds would be a Poisonous Spearhead. Zealous would work so long as you kept Bestial Fury up as much as possible, and was attacking as often as possible. I think, if memory serves, I use a Vampiric Spear, with a Zealous Spear to swap to just in case.

I am running this kind of packhunter, its just fantastic good in AB.
Seriously, its like cheating. I tried the others and changed it as i liked and needed.

barbed, blazing, spear of lightning, bestial Pounce, lightning reflexes, heal as one, apply poison, charm animal.

Lightning reflexes is the key! I might not be able to do 25% caster all the time as with tigers fury, but its 9 sec which is long enough to kill most people. I can take out 2 people usualy, if noone is monk.

Major Beastmastry, and survivor. Using a major vigor atm, so health is 601, and zelous spear works perfect.

With +10AL against fire on shield, all those fire spells and shit dont even bother me.

it really works.
