Well, my build isnt bad so far. Its pretty versatile for both pve and pvp but its lacking some aspects. Anyway, heres the build.

[skill]dual shot[/skill][skill]needling shot[/skill][skill]savage shot[/skill][skill]melandru's arrows[/skill][skill]troll unguent[/skill][skill]natural stride[/skill][skill]mark of rodgort[/skill][skill]conjure flame[/skill]

I use a firery recurve bow, forget the other mods atm..

Basically I target an enchanted foe, use conjure, melandru's arrow, mark, and fire away for bleeding, burning, and nice damage.

[skill]Glass Arrows[/skill] maybe over melandrus?
my friend uses [skill]ignite arrows[/skill] and [skill]quick shot[/skill] O:

Moonlit Azure · Dec 06, 2007, 02:53 AM // 02:53

I want melandrus to stay.

distilledwill · Dec 06, 2007, 02:56 AM // 02:56

I have to say, I think Mark Of Rodgort is a little too costly to be used on a ranger.
Plus, you have Forked Arrow in there, if you look at the description, it says that if you are under an enchantment it wont work, therefore it cant be used when you are under conjure flame. The rest is ok.

Moonlit Azure · Dec 06, 2007, 02:59 AM // 02:59

Whoops, Ill replace that with needling shot probably.

John Panda · Dec 06, 2007, 03:00 AM // 03:00

well my only suggestion at all is to add in [skill]prepared shot[/skill] and use a different preparation to manage energy while using [skill]mark of rodgort[/skill]

or take [skill]mark of rodgort[/skill] out for.. another bow attack like.. [skill]needling shot[/skill]

Nornagest · Dec 06, 2007, 07:12 AM // 07:12

I have aimilar build with Conjure, Mark, GOLE and Barrage, but don't use it too often atm.

Wakka · Dec 06, 2007, 09:31 AM // 09:31

You really need to get [skill=text]Savage Shot[/skill] or [skill=text]Distracting Shot[/skill] or both lol in there ^^ I would really really not recommend running a Ranger without an interupt

Melandru's is a little out-dated but its quite fun to see it in a build

Aris the Accurate · Dec 06, 2007, 03:28 PM // 15:28

forked arrow is pointless because you are under conjure take it out for an interupt and take out pen shot for a rez, a 2nd interupt, or something along the lines of antidote signet or poison tip signet

iridescentfyre · Dec 06, 2007, 03:52 PM // 15:52

Needs more [skill]Savage Shot[/skill]

If not simply for the interrupt (which is enough of a reason), then for the damage compression of firing off a 1/2-second arrow after Dual Shot.

Also, I saw you wanted to stay with Melandru's Arrows for some reason, but Glass Arrows would outdamage a mere Bleed without the enchanted condition.. especially if you end up adding Needling Shot.

Epinephrine · Dec 06, 2007, 04:43 PM // 16:43

Melandru's Arrows are weak in part due to the splitting of attributes - you end up invested in Fire Magic, Expertise, Marksmanship and Wilderness Survival.

Cutting it down to 3 attributes will boost your damage output, though you lose Natural Stride and Troll Unguent.

Sir Pandra Pierva · Dec 06, 2007, 07:18 PM // 19:18

Or you just have less in it. I run classic R spike on my ranger a lot in pve since it has a lot of interupts and puts out pretty good dmg. While most rangers prefer to use a lot of regen with troll I usually don't get that much and only use it for out of battle healing or countering heavy degen areas.

Moonlit Azure · Dec 06, 2007, 08:04 PM // 20:04

Melandru's arrows work better than glass in my situation.

Glass arrows need someone to block to make someone bleed, and still with maxed expertise the damage bonus is less.

Enchanted targets are more common than blocking ones.

Also, I will put an interrupt in, and this is mainly ab, so no resses.

MBP · Dec 06, 2007, 08:42 PM // 20:42

volley maybe? but it wouldn't work with melandru's...

horseradish · Dec 06, 2007, 08:42 PM // 20:42

what about Triple Shot instead of Dual Shot?

Moonlit Azure · Dec 07, 2007, 01:08 AM // 01:08

Dont have GWEN... yet.

Tyla · Dec 07, 2007, 01:38 AM // 01:38

needling for dis shot
dual shot for keen arrow
imo

but could change prof to /Mo for mending touch and hard res imo

Moonlit Azure · Dec 07, 2007, 02:07 AM // 02:07

I have changed the build up, let me update my post.

ensoriki · Dec 07, 2007, 02:51 AM // 02:51

Taking Mark of Rodgort is the most problematic thing on that bar.

what your sacrificing for that degen isnt worth it IMO

Distracting shot is just too good.

horseradish · Dec 07, 2007, 03:59 AM // 03:59

Triple Shot is an Allegiance Rank Skill....

so....you don't have Factions?
