Ive looked at a lot of the recent Ranger builds and whilst i like the greatsword burst dps build, I'm thinking more about going axe and shortbow like this build. Thoughts!!!
I like my slowing trap duration build for kiting and line of sight. Might try out a pet damage orientated build next time I get around it.
So from my experience axe + warhorn is a must for WvW and now i would say longbow is better than shortbow just because of range. Also AoE (longbow 5) is pretty useful when you fight in doorways etc. Also ults i found most useful are spirits because they give AoE buffs (after playing Aion i can tell its not worth to to invest in your own stats in RvR fights). For Pve i've been using same skills and weapons but greatsword is neat too. I can't say anything about 5v5 as I never tried it
