Im looking to make a self reliant build that is mroe fun than a w/mo (honestly boring!) so i was thinking between and w/r or a r/w, but what are the pros and cons of both?

w/r

more armor
strength attribute (not as important as others)
more life

r/w
less cost of attack skills
expertise (ties with above)
mroe energy
more resistant to elemental damage

which one would be better for as much solo play as possible, please give me descriptions why, builds, videos, images, whatever you can do to help me out in decideing this, thank you!

if your gonna use a bow go r/ if your gonna solo, w/, too be honest, all people use r/w for is the bunny thumper build mainly for the most part:http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Bunny_Thumper, the bunny thumper cant solo much, if your gonna solo anything with ranger i would advice fow forest: http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...d.php?t=143379 which takes a r/me, but warrior still can solo more areas then any other profession, you can go ahead and name one area a profession can solo, and i bet you 10 bucks a warrior has been through there, if you dont believe me, compare number of warrior farming builds to ranger, or in fact to any profession:

war will have more soloable areas and bosses, warriors have always been the masters at soloing, and ranger comes no where close to soloing like a war has

i wouldn really base the two professions down to only ranger or warrior secondary, that only limits your playing capabilities of a certain character, remember you can always go to senji's corner and change secondary professions, at a mere 500gp per new learned secondary profession, and free if you pick that profession secondary again

Definitely Warrior if you want a solo build.

Warrior is better in solo-ing, but Rangers are more flexible.
Better runners, more conditions, pet

Play a ranger if you want to get better at the game, teaches you about positioning and picking targets.
