Hey guys, I'm thinking about making a damage dealing ranger for my first PvP character. Right now, I'm deciding b/w a quick shot build and a melandru's arrow build. However, i'm not too sure about the finer points of the skill set of each, and especially need help on the blasted attribute distribution of each build (basically, I don't know how to make them lol)

here's what i'm thinking about atm:
-Quick Shot:
Ranger/Monk vs. Ranger/Elem
1. Quick Shot
2. Tiger's Fury
3. Quickening Zephyr
4. Pin Down
5,6. Judge's Insight, Read the Wind (R/M) OR 5,6,7: Kindle Arrows, Conjure Fire, Favorable Winds (R/E)
7. (R/M) Iono .. Whirling D?
8. Iono .. Rez Signet?
Iono how exactly to distribute the attribute points ... and I'm not sure which bows are best ... which bow has the most inherent armor penetration? Also, how do you calculate DPS for quick shot? I'm still not too clear on how QZ, TF, and QS work together :-\

-Melandru's Arrow:
Ranger/Monk
1. Melandru's Arrow
2. Tiger's Fury
3. Whirling Defense
4. Penetrating Attack
5. Pin Down
6. Dual Shot
7. Judge's Insight
8. Iono .. Rez Signet? Favorable Winds?
Is this even how you make a melandru's arrows build? In any case, I'm not sure how to balance attributes here, even if it is right ... (which i doubt)

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Quick Shot allows for arrows to be fired more repeatedly than normal. TF just amplifies that. And QZ is used to completely eliminate the recharge time of QS due to rounding. This build is very energy intensive, so you'll need 14 Expertise (bringing QS down to 2 energy, which becomes 3 due to QZ) and a Zealous bowstring to have any endurance, since you will be shooting more than one arrow per second if you use a fast bow.

what's the optimum weapon to use? horn bow?
and which secondary profession enables the qs build to kill the greatest number of builds? ele or monk?

Am I missing something? I don't think more than 1 arrow per second is possible.

TF + QZ + Quick Shot = 3 arrows per 2 seconds. Or so Ive been told.
