| − | This build concentrates on the [[gw:Ranger|Ranger]]'s snaring abilities gained from the elite skill [[gw:Crippling Shot|Crippling Shot]]. With other utility skills from the [[gw:Wilderness Survival|Wilderness Survival]] line, the user is able to spread conditions throughout the enemy team. In combination with condition removal provided from the [[gw:Monk|Monk]]'s [[gw:Protection Prayers|Protection Prayers]] line, and the use of the Ranger's [[gw:Expertise|Expertise]] attribute, [[gw:Touch|Touch]] and Ranger skills have reduced energy costs. This results in an extremely versatile build that can provide both excellent defense as well as offense for a PvP team. |

||
| − | * Radiant or Survivor Insignias. |
||
| − | * Preferred bow combinations (although really, any bow can be used): |
||
| − | ** [[gw:Crippling|Crippling]] [[gw:Recurve Bow|Recurve Bow]] |
||
| − | ** [[gw:Poisonous|Poisonous]] [[gw:Recurve Bow|Recurve Bow]] |
||
| − | ** [[gw:Crippling|Crippling]] [[gw:Longbow|Longbow]] |
||
| − | ** [[gw:Vampiric|Vampiric]] [[gw:Flatbow|Flatbow]] |
||
| − | * A [[gw:Recurve Bow|Recurve Bow]] is usually preferred, for maximum accuracy and minimum flight time. The Flatbow is for speeding up NPC kills. |
||
| − | * An Expertise headpiece, and [[gw:Rune|Runes]] of Minor Wilderness Survival, Minor Expertise, Minor Marksmanship, and Superior Vigor. |
||
| − | * Defensive set (+5 Energy/+30 health spear and -20% Cripple duration/+30 health Shield) |
||
| − | |||
| − | == Usage == |
||
| − | *Keep [[gw:Apply Poison|Apply Poison]] active when you're attacking to spread [[gw:Poison|Poison]] with each arrow fired. |
||
| − | *Snare enemies using [[gw:Crippling Shot|Crippling Shot]]. Remember that this can be used both for offensive purposes (slowing down fleeing targets) and defensive purposes (slowing down foes chasing you or your team). |
||
| − | *Interrupt enemies with [[gw:Distracting Shot|Distracting Shot]] and [[gw:Savage Shot|Savage Shot]]. Note each skill's inherent effects besides just the interrupt. |
||
| − | *Remove harmful [[gw:Condition|Condition]]s with [[gw:Mending Touch|Mending Touch]]. |
||
| − | *Use [[gw:Natural Stride|Natural Stride]] for a general-purpose speed boost. It's also useful when under attack from melee opponents. |
||
| − | *Revive fallen party members with [[gw:Resurrection Signet|Resurrection Signet]]. |
||
| − | *It's also helpful to use [[gw:Natural Stride|Natural Stride]] right before [[gw:Apply Poison|Apply Poison]] and [[gw:Resurrection Signet|Resurrection Signet]] to decrease chances of being physically interrupted. |
||
| − | |||
| − | == Counters == |
||
| − | *[[gw:Illusion|Illusion]] [[gw:Mesmer|Mesmer]]s' [[gw:Fast Casting|Fast Casting]] and hexes make them the natural bane of Cripshots. Depending on your skill, the safest solution lays usually in either interrupt [[gw:Crippling Anguish|Crippling Anguish]] and then staying out of range, or using height advantage as leverage for the first shot, and, again, keeping the foe out of range at all times. |
||
| − | *With little to counter enemy attacks, it is often best to Cripple the enemy and flee when targeted. |
||
| − | *Because of the slower degen compared to a [[gw:Burning Arrow|Burning Arrow]] ranger, the build finds it hard to score solo kills vs an enemy base defender in GvG. |
||
| − | |||
| − | == Variants == |
||
| − | *If you are in [[gw:Alliance Battles|Alliance Battles]] or [[gw:Competitive Missions|Competitive Missions]] then you should take out [[gw:Resurrection Signet|Resurrection Signet]] for a hex removal such as [[gw:Remove Hex|Remove Hex]]. |
||
| − | *Take [[gw:Blackout|Blackout]] and [[gw:Antidote Signet|Antidote Signet]] instead of Optional and Mending Touch to disable Monks during spikes. Drop 1 point from Expertise, take a Major Rune of Expertise, and spec 6 into Domination Magic. |
||
| − | *[[gw:Death Pact Signet|Death Pact Signet]] and [[gw:Antidote Signet|Antidote Signet]] or [[gw:Pure Was Li Ming|Pure Was Li Ming]] can replace Resurrection Signet and Mending Touch if your team needs Hard Rez. |
||
| − | *[[gw:Rend Enchantments|Rend Enchantments]] |
