Ranger PvE | Fun Shortbow, Longbow | Damage Hvy Condition DMG
Table of Contents
Summary
This is an old build i have used. I took a long break from the game, about a year and a half or more) and now I'm back and a little confuse. I have always noticed there are few builds utilizing the range. I prefer range attack myself and this build has served me well is the past.I have had no issues soloing or in WvW, or in guild dungeon run in the past either, but i do feel like I am missing something here where it could be stronger without losing range. With that said, if any one has any suggestions that can make this build better please do so. Also i do not have the Expansion as of yet.
