If you INSIST on playing a shitty, underpowered class, then your only option is Assault. Both ranged specs are completely useless. Unfortunately, you're too low level to actually do it, but when you get to 40/40, here's a pretty standard Assault build: 40/40 SW

When you get higher gear with more ballistic skill, swap out masterful aim for wrist slash.
In case it isn't obvious, Assault is melee.

For renown, dump every single renown point you get into Futile Blows until it's maxed. Then do +ballistic skill, I forget the name. Prioritize ballistic skill in gearing; put an armor talisman in every single open spot of your gear, and chug the 0 skill required 880 armor pot+80 ballistic skill pot.

Don't let shadow sting fall off the target. Shoot broadhead while approaching, then draw blood, then knockdown, and spam the **** out of brutal assault. Use Vengeance regularly.

Finally, do not bother trying to play Scout or Skirmish.

Or you can roll Slayer or White Lion and not rely on gimmicks and do 3 times the damage with more utility, more tools, and easier gameplay.

Ballistic skill from renown doesnt convert with passive.

Yea Mystry is notorious for being clueless while also giving out ‘advice’ and **** talking anything that doesn’t match up to his opinions.

Best bet to get actual useful advice is not listen to any schmuck on the forums but find a good player who is willing to help (I think SW is sitting at about 5 good players on the class that are truly knowledgeable).

I feel like Ranged isn't as bad as people are telling ( maybe only in city? )

• The specs? Builds? Stat prio?

• Renown points ? Where do we need to spend? What's the priority?

• Roles of every spec? What does Assault in oRvR ? Scout / skirmish ? Etc etc

This thread could help every new SW to actually play their class at the maximum potential.

We know that SW is ''inferior'' to every other class, but SW is a hybrid melee/ranged class, jack of all trades.

Saying you assume or you double check and then purposefully spread bad info is just inexcusable.

Renown and ballistic from buffs don’t convert (IR potions or procs).

Disappointing. I assumed it did.

@OP The class is a lot of fun, and yes, while the ranged specs need a little love, you can still do very well in most aspects of the game. Assault is a ton of fun as well and is capable of some amazing burst when geared/spec'd right. As others have said here, don't listen to doom & gloomers without having decided for yourself. Also- please, please, please take what you read in /advice chat with a VERY small grain of salt.

I think you missed the part where the person saying that they didn't convert was proven wrong.
And yes, SW as a whole needs a lot of attention to become viable. Assault, like I said, is okay, but doesn't work outside of small scale 6v6.
