My Hammer Ranger screwaround build:

Skills
Devastating Hammer [e]
Irresistable Blow
Crushing Blow
Mighty Blow
Tiger's Fury
Troll Unguent
Whirling Defense
Res Signet

Attributes
hammer mastery 12
Beast Mastery 9
Expertise 7+1+2
Wilderness Survival 6+2

Tips
as stated, this is merely for kicks and grins. you run around with a bloody hammer and TF knocking soft targets around. use Devastating Hammer as an interrupt where possible, and try to use it with Crushing Blow.

have fun!

Anti-Caster Shutdown build:

R/whatever you want

Skills
Punishing Shot [e]
Savage Shot
Hunter's Shot
Debilitating Shot
Read the Wind
Troll Unguent
Whirling Defense
Res Signet

Attributes
Marksmanship: 12+3
Expertise: 11+1+2
WS: 8+1

General Information and Tips
basically a general interrupt build. use Read the Wind to get your interrupts in as quickly as possible. use Debilitating shot whenever you can to lower your target's energy, but keep a watch on your own, since Punishing Shot, Debilitating Shot and Savage Shot all cost 4 energy. spamming these out as often as you can will leave you grasping for energy. a Zealous bowstring would be advisable.

Use Hunter's Shot as much as possible and other interrupts less; the pause after the shot leaves you quite vulnerable. for about 2 seconds you can't do JACK. not even move.

i haven't found a good healing skill in the ranger primary or a good healing skill in any other possible secondary for that matter. any possible suggestions would be appreciated.

this is my build, i hope it works!

Someone please comment on the build that works for me in rpg.
Ranger/Monk 15(in desert almost done gettin ascended)

Iginite Arrows
Dual Shot
Posion Shot(elite)
Hunter's Shot
Healing breeze
Troll Ungunt
Resurrect
Cant remember other one

Caged Fury · Jan 10, 2006, 02:57 PM // 14:57

Mister Someone :

Personally, I would consider dropping one of the two healing - preferably Healing Breeze and if you have attribute points in Healing Prayers, reassign them to increase other ranger attrib.

In it's place I would put another ranger skill - there are quite afew useful ones to choose from. Consider taking skills like Lightning Reflexes to stop/reduce damage. If you're not taking damage then you won't need as much healing. Also useful if you want to avoid a fight and just want to run past a mob - works even better along with Storm Chase.

My two pence.

Dont bring Resurrect. Bring Rez Sig - or atleast just bring Rebirth, not definately not Resurrect.

can you put that into like those build formats?
i've been looking for a good r/me build too but most are just inturrupting builds or trapping builds
that build sounds like the kind i want so can you help me?

My build...seems to work better in PvE than PvP, but still a very strong contender.

R/(if pve, i suggest monk for the res or ele for the advancement to 20, then switch)

Expertise:11 (anymore seems to be a waste)
Wilderness Survival: 12
Marksmanship:12

Hunter's shot (can be replaced by barrage or penetrating. these seem to be better for pve)
Troll Unguent (+9 regen for about 2 energy...)
Throw Dirt
Pin Down
Incendiary Arrows (can be replaced by melandru's or if using barrage..your choice)
Distracting Shot
Concussion Shot
Res Sig

Any thoughts on this one? It's my old build...seemingly nerfed, even though not a single soul knew about it, unless they made it out of their own mind, or they were friends who asked...

I gotta get this one back to working order again...any idea on how to change it to avoid the nerf streak? I see savage shot and punishing shot next in line.

I know I'll get told to use search and all that, but are there any Warrior attributes that would help a Ranger - if you want to play as a Ranger I mean. I do not want to use swords or hammers, so is a Warrior secondary a poor choice. I was thinking some of the shouts or something might be good. Just started my Ranger though, and never played a warrior, so not sure...

Sabu113 · Mar 08, 2006, 04:29 AM // 04:29

I've been trying mesmer and Im very happy with that. Mesm has some nice skills to recover energy/ more interrupts to add to teh best feature of a ranger(IMO), his disrupt abilities.

Shouts work well with a barrage build. I like using Watch Yourself. I also like Heal sig 100 times better than Troll Ungent.

I won't go so far as to call this completely false, but I will say that there's a lot of rangers out there who will disagree with you. Spending your points in 3 attributes seems to be the most efficient distribution, and it is very possible to make a viable ranger with most or all your points in marksmanship, expertise, and beastmastery. From this, it is easy to effectively use both a pet and bow (yes, a weapon!) at the same time. I personally have not tried it, but I know there are many ranger/warriors out there who use a pet with a melee weapon in a similar manner. Also, the only skill you need for a pet is Comfort Animal. Charm Animal is very useful, but with care, it can be replaced with Predator's Pounce, a skill that doubles as both a pet attack and a pet heal. Call of Haste is useful for increasing damage, but you are assuming he wants the pet primarily for damage dealing. Many effective bow rangers use their pet as a personal tank rather than for massive amounts of damage.

For anyone considering a pet build, may I suggest a few other skills:

Feral Lunge - bleeding is always a nice touch!
Tiger's Fury - since you've already got points in BM, why not greatly speed up your attack rate with this beauty
Ferocious Strike (elite) - Keep spamming this pet attack for a nearly endless supply of energy, helps keep your bow attacks coming strong

There's a lot you can do with a pet, they are nearly as versatile as the ranger profession itself. Be creative and have fun with your furry (or feathered) companion!
