Well I recently got a perfect stormbow and its 15% enchanted and im lookin for a good build that uses enchantments. (anything but Judges Insight or Conjure Flame cause I already got builds using that) thx in advance

Ok right firstly i wont say a build really more a few ideas

was gona say conjure build but they have been coverd,

so heres a couple of other ideas
Vigorous barrager possibly using Vigorous Spirit and/or Live Vicariously
Vigorous anything (quickshot/ needling arrow spam maybe)

These are fairly good survivors but wont get much damage out compared to a conjurer

i can't really think of any enchanted damage dealers beyond what you've mentiond

also my be good in the classic toombs b/p as orders will trigger the while enchanted

if you are enchanted alot rember that symbiosis will give a good whack of extra health

If your that desperate to show off your new Storm Bow just use an Order necro or bring a Bonder hero along.

Or better yet.. get a decent bow and try some proper builds.

Don't base your build around your weapon, base your weapon around your build.

^ I was about to say that, eh!

Concerning enchantments, since rangers don't have any, you gotta use enchantement spells from your secondary: you should check the various threads about "teh best secondary" for rangers and the discussion about the advantage / inconvenients of most of the enchantement suitable for rangers (among other things).

EDIT - I haven't tested yet (I've just capped it) but Elbon Dust Aura is maybe a skill you should consider: it costs 5 energy and 0.25 sec to cast for a deadly effect.

R/D with faithful intervention or other enchantments. (only problem: it's a myticism skill)
R/Me Illusion of Weakness

Something like that

Ebon Dust Aura.

heehee, funny... effective, but funny

for a non elite alternative try harrier's grasp
[skill]Harrier's Grasp[/skill]

cripple any moving target

, cheaper that cripshot, but can be blocked or evaded, unless you bring

(in same att line)
[skill]Guiding Hands[/skill]

the advantages of using these 2 skills, is you can cripple folks WITH BARRAGE

Steelwill pointed out on another thread (http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...48#post2253248) that you can use Grenth's Grasp in a crip shot like build as well.

May I ask why you didn't buy one with a more appropriate mod for a Ranger?

Thanks,

When I run a solo barrager I use a 15% while enchanted/enchants last 20% longer/5-1 vamp bow. Works real nice.

15% while enchanted inscription is not useless, however to make it worth while you really need the 20% longer grip other wise most any build you use gets tough on the energy management.
