Arhurt's All Around Support Ranger guide

WIP pls, if you have the time to correct any grammar or spelling mistakes, fell free to do so)

Intro

Hi all! This guide is supposed to give some insight into my own discoveries about the support ranger class. I have been using this build trough the mid part of the game, finally getting ascended and ready to make the Elite Runs.

This build is made for that. It does not require Storm Bows, does not require heavy armors neither any Elite Skills. It is simply a collection of strategies/skills I used it trough most of the mid-part of the game, with great sucsess.

Ok, lets get to the basics then:

Being the support

Support in GW is what makes a group viable against a number of different situations. So, as a support ranger, you must be ready to make decisions on the fly, or else find that your character feels kind of "useless". That is becouse any group could go by without support troops, they just need to be tougher, play better or have good luck. The presence of a support ranger will make the life of the party a little easier, as it helps everyone, be it keeping them from harm, helping the monks heal or disrupting the enemy key skills.

Thus, you must keep in mind that while you are not the engine of the group, you are a key piece that will make everyone's life a little bit easier.

Skills

Instead of listing eight skills that will make you "teh besto ranger" (tm) I rather comment on the few skills I have been using regularly, and then comment on a few sucssesfull builds.
