Your image link isn't working. Make sure it ends with a file extension (.jpg, .bmp, etc).

This is what i use in AB on my ranger as well...
Works great, pressures the enemy with heavy degen, and if they try to heal I interrupt, if they run I cripple them.

DPSing rangers is gud. Oh wait, no it's not.
The best way to get any kind of mass DPS on a ranger is to simply spread poison everywhere. But from the looks of this you're just going to try to camp one target until it dies, OR spam random bursts of 100 damage around. Either way you don't accomplish all that much against people who know what they're doing. And there are higher DPS ways of taking down people who don't know what they're doing. R/D Scythe thingies are pretty solid for that. Magehunters Smash warriors are pretty sexy too.

I've been running this build in AB for a while now. Only thing I can say is to use only minor (maybe one major mark) runes and take Disrupting Shot in stead of Point Blank Shot. Of if you want the damage, take dshot in stead of Savage Shot.
Here (click) is a very old SS from me running a build like that. Didn't even put interupts in there, but dshot just owns =D

No need for that, Kindle Arrows makes your arrows hit fire dmg ;)
@Chrisworld: Why would you take a spirit such as fav winds to AB? 2 hits from a ranger/warrior and it's down. If you just take a recurve bow you shouldn't be having a lot of problem with hitting (and if you do, just walk closer).
I would take Natural Stride in that build to get closer to targets or to escape when a mob comes after you ;)

Blazings, /correct me if I'm wrong/ I think you are wrong. Kindle Arrows Strike for fire damage, they don't make your arrows hit as fire damage.

Hmm nope, no correction needed there.
After some fumbling around I came up with these builds:
Expertise: 10 + 1 + 1
Wilderniss Survival: 8 + 1
Marksmanship: 10 + 1
Fire Magic: 8
Survivor Insigna's and superior vigor run should give you around 630hp (including the bow).
Take either the first one for burning + poison and a high-energy crippl if they run away or the second one, crippling them and than put on poison + bleeding and shoot him with the two bonusses from Kindle and Conjure.
I personaly like the 2nd on more, but I didn't want to go away from your concept too much with the Burning Arrow.

Isn't there? Let's see some skill deions, shall we?
Distracting Shot
If Distracting Shot hits, it interrupts target foe's action but deals only 1...13 damage. If the interrupted action was a skill, that skill is disabled for an additional 20 seconds.
only 1-13 dmg....hmmm
Savage Shot
If Savage Shot hits, your target's action is interrupted. If that action was a spell, you strike for +13...25 damage.
+13-25 dmg along with the bows dmg...that seems a little more than 13 dmg
Aaaanyway, to stay on topic....if you want to run ranger in AB with a good bar id take the standard BA bar, drop res sig for pin down or sloth hutners shot, if you get good enough on the interupts then the damage from Burning Arrow along with -7 degen should be enough to drop a target when you catch thier heals.....something like this if you dont already know the bar
Burning Arrow
Distracting Shot
Savage Shot
Pin Down/Sloth Hunter's Shot/Screaming Shot
Apply Poison
Mending Touch
Troll Unguent
Natural Stride
not 100% on atts but i think they run something like
12+1+1 Expertise
9+1 Marksmanship
9+1 Wilderness Survival
3 Protection Prayers
at least thats what crip shots run for lower energy costs, for BA in AB you may wanna push marks up 1 or 2 for a little extra damage
As Rogue said, Ranger's shouldnt be your primary DPS'ers they're mostly used for poison tabbing and interupting and while the above build isnt nearly as origional as what you were playing with it's still alot of fun to play

I think Blazings was talking about Disrupting Shot. Suggesting that would be worse than being wrong about Distracting Shot dealing extra damage :P
At that recharge and energy cost, I don't see why anybody would consider it.

I alway run this in RA and its a solid build. I use Point Blank+Burning arrow+Savage shot to spike and it usually kills. If not it leaves people with 1/3 health and -9 degen, which will cause most to panic and run so then i can just finish them with a few more arrows to the back. I go with 14 pts in marks because I want the damage and the 5secs of burning is worth it. Each attack skill does around 100dam to casters. Also Kindle arrow does deal out fire damage so theres no need for a fire bow.

All u negative people... I have never seen u satisfied at any build. Well, I'm saying this is one of the best ranger builds for RA. I challenge you to post a better one if you think I'm wrong. Keep in mind that I can do max degen and I can do spikes... I'm waiting...

I wouldn't need to drop u. Cause this is a pressure build and most the times in RA your lucky to get a monk. But if u can counter poison and fire degen every 6 seconds then your a pretty good monk. Most monks wouldn't be able to out heal that especially when I interrupt every 6 seconds... LOL

Am I missing something? You only have savage as an interrupt, that wouldn't stop even the worst of monks. Poison + burning is like nothing, on the monk, most have Mending Touch, so they can heal as much as you dealt them. You're much better off using /Mo for Mending Touch, so you can still do stuff against BSurgers.

Though.. that all depends on your team. If you take a guild team with a bit of an exp monk there shouldn't be a big need for that.

I'd much rather have my own condition removal so I can remove blind the instant its on me, than rely on a monk to remove it when they are busy keeping Ws clean, and keeping everyone alive.
Remember the golden rule of guild wars pvp: Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should.

heh...you're welcome
The R/D meta originated with my guild when i was in Summit Soldiers [SS]....we did BYOB in gvg and someone brought that as a modification of an RA build they use, we liked it and made an ha build out of it with two of those, an A/Rt spiker(wierd ass build) a weapons rit, mind blaster, and the absolute WIERDEST backline you'll ever see....infuse off a SoR para, SB off a OoS resto rit, then a good old RC monk...before pious was nerfed we could spike 2 targets at once, we held with it the night we started running with it, and by our next nights HA those things were f'cking everywhere(except they dropped apply poison for rending touch) with IYF claiming it was there build
moral of the story? whats the point in being innovative when a high ranked guild gets all the credit :-p

only bad monks would drop to that build, unless you are a very good interrupter and get every mend touch and woh which i doubt you can ;)
counter poison and fire degen every 6 seconds makes you a pretty good monk? lol
you use burning arrow, monk mend touches. or pre guardian,s or prots. then u're useless already with your build.
most monks wouldn't be able to outheal? that's only the noobs in RA. a half decent player would not get anywhere near death with ur build ;/
