Weapon and Skill Details

  • Shortbow
While using the Shortbow you will focus on trying to apply the bleed effect from the Crossfire, try to position yourself during the battle to optimize your damage.

 

  • Axe/Warhorn
Axe is a great weapon in situations like against 2 enemy, as the Ricochet bounces 3 times you can hit the first target twice
The Warhorn helps a lot by providing Fury (20% Critical Chance)

 

  • Traps
As a trap ranger it's a must, you also could change one of them for a Stun Break, but as you will provide more support damage than bunker or roaming I believe that you won't need that much

I don't like your weapons. I don't like your traits. I don't like your runes. I don't like your sigils. I don't like your attempts at describing the gameplay or rotations. Meh.
