Im looking for a build that i can do massive dmg on one enemy in the shortest amount of time, thanks for your input (oh and im currently lookin into shock sniper but thhe conjure lightning doesnt add to armor penetrating does it?)

The anciest build of ranger Spiker the build is very simple :
attribute points
16 marks[12+gear+rune]
13 expertise[12+rune]
skills:
punishing shot
savage shot
dual shot
read the wind
favorable winds
wirling defence
ress signet
penetrating shot[vs warrior]
weapon[vampiric sort bow of marksmanship[perfect]
and a simple long bow for luring

armor

druid armor

tactic

cast read the wind and favorable winds [i like to say this combo read the favorable winds]

then find your target and use dual shot+punishing shot+savage shot if enemy is warrior make the same combo but penetrating+ this thing is working very well even if you are 1 on 4vs4 i din't used it on PvE but it have to.DON'T USE IT FOR SOLO OR IF YOU WANT MODDEFIED IT AS YOU CAN SEE YOU DON'T HAVE ANY HEALING SKILLS

Although rangers CAN do good dmg, I personally think they are better suited for other more diverse/flexible builds.

16 in marks is only helpful for a pure damage build. For a balanced, more useful, jack-of-all-trades build which Rangers are know for, 16 marks is more of a hindrance, cause you have less points to distribute into other things. I think Rangers are more 'damaging' (and more annoying) when they're used to not only do damage, but hinder the other team from doing damage. I like using Cripple/Punishing shot builds.

But for pure damage, I always use quick shot (doesn't have the cool down time punishing shot does). I'd do

Kindle Arrows + Dual shot + Quick shot + Penetrating Shot + Quickshot + Dual Shot. Then just repeat that combo. You'll need some energy management...and you'll also need a way of removing blind, cause you're useless other wise.

I use kindle arrows along with conjure flame and a perfect vampiric mod. The preparation makes the bow deal fire damage, the vampiric takes 5 health, the conjure flame deals even more damage (i have tested to see whether it relly adds damage.)

I came up with this build about 6 or 7 months back while this game was still in beta:

Ignite Arrows
Favorable Winds
Dual Shot
Power Shot
Troll Ungent
Storm Chaser
Savage Shot
Rez Signet

Well it's been a very very long time and this build still works.

Why are you using Power shot? Penetrating attack is MUCH better for same price. And Hunter's shot isn't far behind for half the cost.

And I think I'd bring Whirling Defense (or escape since you don't have an elite) in place of Storm Chaser.
