The way to a ranger's heart is through condition spreading. However, I have a particular build preference at this point.

[skill]Sloth Hunter's Shot[/skill][skill]Concussion Shot[/skill][skill]Savage Shot[/skill][skill]Prepared Shot[/skill][skill]Apply Poison[/skill]

These stay on my bar throughout most of my current PvE and PvP play unless requested otherwise. Your last 3 skills can be changed depending on where you go and what your purpose is.

Now, some may prefer distracting shot, but in PvE monsters cheat. Skills recharge faster than they should even after distracted, so killing is better than pure interuptions,imo.

BHA gets alot of love, but Concussion in the right build, is the truth! Prep shot makes that 'right' build possible.

I use this build (Toxicity replaced with Dryder's Defense most of the time) when I really want to poison, but Poison Arrow is far superior to any of the non-elite poison skills, especially apply poison since it takes too long to activate it. With this build I can degen AND interrupt.

Just realized this poor guy is using choking gas on his bar without [skill]Practiced Stance[/skill]. Poison Arrow is a great skill, but it was never employed well without [skill]Ignite Arrows[/skill]. Apply is of better use by far, yet poison tip signet gives less need to WS investment with a trade off in speed of spreading the condition.

Poison arrow may feel like on demand condition spreading, yet, look at the tradeoff you take in damage dealing potential? Yet, if that's what you want to use, by all means, do so.

i have generally used a common [Burning Arrow] degen build with [Apply Poison], however if in a party with SF nukers, burning arrow is kind of pointless. i would go with some combo of [Poison Arrow]+[Barbed Arrows] for poison and bleeding on top of the burning caused by your nukers if you dont want to use [Apply Poison]. although [Apply Poison]+[Screaming Shot] frees up your elite slot.

R/Rt builds depend on the purpose of the build. Damage? Then Barrage/Splinter Weapon in factions is king. Yet, for anything else other than a hard res, you can stick to all ranger skills. The ranger is very self sufficeint unless you make it your business to not stay in the ranger skill class.

Just my opinion.
