I think all Ranger skills have their uses, you just have to figure them out.

Dire.

My old one was hearty but I want a serious beastmaster build, which demands Dire. That's the reason it was a lower level.

Archer's Signet, awful skill

Francis Demeules · May 28, 2006, 09:06 PM // 21:06

Archer signet is so useful against E-drainer or something like that. You have no energy, what do you do? Archer Sig and tada, you can use your skills without energy. At first, I thought it was basicly to reduce concussion shot cost but I see something more useful.

Because rangers always have a problem with those e-drain mesmers camping them?

If you're being e-drained instead of your monk(s) then something's very wrong with the other team and you should be thankful your monks can heal instead of being pissed off you can only shoot people...

Ranger skills aren't that energy extensive anyways, Concussion/Broad Head Arrow top the list at 25 energy, which should be reduced drastically by expertise, otherwise you shouldn't be using Archer's Signet at a low expertise anyways...

This skill can be used with Call of Protection for basically a tank. The 15 base damage reduction and the +20 armor is pretty much all you're going to need to have one beast of a tank.

I have to say that the most useless skill for ranger is point blank shot (and it's copy).
I understand it's usage, extra damage at the loss of range, however, I personally beleive that the range is far more valuable, unless you are using a long/flatbow on the top of a hill, which is sheer stupidity since you should be using the increase in range with a short/recurve bow to fire faster with more accuracy.

hmm. i did see Famine being posted above but im wondering what if it were to be coupled with Sympathetic Visage (or its copy)? what would happen, would it trigger once on the (smites) or would it keep triggering making it like a super duper SS forever thing...hmmm

Famine is one of the E-denial primary skill for Ranger. You use Famine and you shot Debilitating Shot (-10 energy) and the E-Denial mesmer will use his/her skills at the same target with Mind Wrack. When the Target goes to 0, Famine + Mind Wrack dmg. When the target has upper than 1 energy and you drop him/her again to 0, Famine will triggering again.

Good E-Denial teamwork.

having it whith apply poisn , incendary arrows or some damage preparation, and use it on that tank in a stance thinking hes smarter thaen evrybody

or you can go the other way, and have seeking arrows as preparation and use damaging bow attaks, like dual shot or poison arrow

Retribution · May 30, 2006, 08:31 AM // 08:31

I'm waiting for anet to somehow incorporate a pet rez in either charm animal or heal as one, why do you need 2 skills just to be able to use some half retarded animal? They need to make heal as one rez the animal and either heal bigger or recharge faster (prefer the latter). Famine is good for team e-denial + pressure (1 ranger set this up and 4 warriors spamming fear me). Conflagration sucks unless you have an ele putting mark of rodgort on everyone but then you could just use a fiery bowstring. Its only real use is to screw up ranger spike using orders, but even without orders its going to be painful.

a 10 sec recharge stance vs 60 sec recharge stance. Oh and both 10 sec max they last. For evade, I stay with Escape or WD (with Oath Shot)
