Overview
This PVP Ranger build offers insane single target burst damage capable of killing off enemies with ease in the open world of Ashes of Creation. It is one of the top choices for caravan runs but also does fantastic in larger group PVP thanks to 
Raining Death and 
Scatter Shot hitting many enemies. This build's mobility remains a core part of it though with 
Air Strike and 
Disengage allowing you to move unhindered through the battlefield.

In PvP, the Ranger’s kiting ability is key to staying alive. Investing in 
Escape Velocity is ideal, as it boosts your movement speed while sprinting in combat (default key C) and makes kiting enemies much easier, helping you avoid unnecessary damage. This becomes even more important later in the game, allowing you to kite players effectively while waiting for cooldowns or escaping ganks.
Next, put points into Recuperation Training and Evasive Maneuver to increase your evasion rate while dodging. These upgrades also unlock 
Springstep, which improves your mobility by extending your roll distance.
Finally, use your remaining points on the Guard Training branch to lower stamina usage when blocking (default key E). Adding 
Mental Fortification is also a good option, as it decreases the chance of being crowd-controlled (CC’d) while blocking, which can be useful in certain scenarios.
Rotations
Single Target Gank Rotation ↴
- Make sure you are using
Enhance Armament: Barbs for this before you use 
Hunt of the Raven on whichever player you want to kill. Get some focus by using 
Power Shot then use 
Barrage to deal more damage to bleeding targets thanks to Enhance Armament: Barbs. Follow up with 
Snipe to deal very high damage before enemies can usually react to you.
- Continue the rotation with
Thundering Shot followed by Raining Death as it deals extra damage when used on Shocked targets. Finish off the target with 
Headshot once the target is below 50% HP.
AOE Burst Rotation ↴
- First, ensure that both Enhance Armament: Barbs and
Hunt of the Tiger are active. Use Scatter Shot first to apply Bleed stacks on a group of enemies.
- Continue by putting down
Vine Field on top of the same enemies and turn the Bleed into Hemorrage, dealing even more dot damage quicker. Follow up with another Scatter Shot then use Thundering Shot to then apply the Shocked debuff on your main target and targets near it while also boosting Raining Death damage to deal even more AOE DPS before using 
Lightning Reload to use Raining Death again.
