Default A solo Ranger

I know they exist out there. Where is a good place to solo with a ranger? Where can I find good solo builds?

I have "I'm very important" on my monk and think it's time to switch my time to another character.. I've picked Ranger..
Any assistance anyone can offer would be great.
Thanks.

You could look in the Campfire section

http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/f...play.php?f=209

or the pvxwiki

or use the search feature

I'm sure you will find some answers to your questions.

Never soloed too much with my ranger, except playing around with a trapper build.

FoW forest and totem axes are just 2 places you can farm solo.
Totem axes sell for more than Shards do and you get just about as many on any given run.

Arcane Echo on Echo.
Then use both Echoes to lay down a shitload of Dust Traps. Pull, things blow up, pick up phat lewts, repeat. Not that hard to understand for most of us

It's called an Echo chain. Arcane Echo-Echo-Dust Trap-2nd Echo-Dust Trap-Dust Trap etc. It worked just fine with a long-lasting Energizing Wind, but now it doesn't last long enough to lay a full series of traps.

Was good enough to solo the start of the quest Breaching the Veil in DoA (in hard mode!), which was an awful lot of high level mobs dropping an awful lot of golds, gems and tomes. Got enough Necro tomes to fully outfit my new Necro from birth ^^

Enchanted Brambles HM
Behemoth Gravebane & Scytheclaw Behemoth HM
Juvenile Bladed Termites HM
Fahranur, The First City HM (both skales & Undead)
Ice Imps & Siege Ice Golems HM
Fire Imps HM (prefer them as R/Mo)
Minotaur HM (Ice Tooth Cave)
Vermin HM
Sand Elementals HM
Sand Drakes HM
Hulking Stone Elementals HM(R/W using axe/hammer or sword is better tho)
Tusked Howlers HM
Azure Shadows HM (only if you lure properly)
Pockmark Flats Hulking Stones & Storm Riders HM

Thats all I can remember atm with this build. With modifications I have been able to farm Hekkets in HM and some other things. I did a few videos of the build on YouTube.
