Some advice In Pro Ranger! :P

Sm has sorcs dps ? No
Sm has ranger dmg ?
Sm has CoW ? ( ofc has fear - fair game - witch was nerfed to have less basic macc - not retail like - on retail it has a better chance to hit )
Sm has macc/mb/casting speed buffs ? No ..
Sm has hide ? No
Sm has illusions , blind leaps ? No ..
Sm has magic resist , magic resist buffing skills ? No ( you have to go full macc ... but even when you've got max is imposible to kill some1 )
Sm has mau form ? No
Sm has wintry armor ? No
Sm has stuns ? Nope .. has just 1
etc etc etc


I never thought that i'll ever tell this to any1 but stfu ... , i'l just go to enjoy my sin .. far far far from this forum .

 

From my perspective traps will not hurt at all especially on zerg/group pvping, will people resist them? most likely, but if it hits then it just an added bonus.

In terms of Mana stone i think is more preferance, mR is good since you already have raw buffs and powers, so mr will help you out againts casters and stunners who do not posses much macc.

most people go for offensive build since rangers do die easily so every second of dps count, so more dmg you do the better.

It is up to your play style.

Also if you learn how to jump shot will be useful, it is method of running then turning around quickly to shoot an instance skill. I never mastered this personally, but I see many rangers do it, also learn how to dp manage since mau form will be most usefull on pvp setting.

I hope this help in anyway and good luck =)
