The cheapest way into Ranger PvP: the bow, guard and Bakarma a fresh 45 owns, rerolled for Status Effect Resist, with Mother Nature's Breath and Ambush Kick in place of the raid stigmas.

Against another player the Ranger's whole plan is distance. You have twenty metres of reach and almost nothing to stop a melee class once it's on top of you, so you spend the fight making sure it never is: slow them, hit them, step away, hit them again. This version does that on gear you already own at 45, with the skill points and stigmas moved to a PvP preset of their own.

A second preset, not a second set

Every skill preset keeps its own skill and stigma levels, so your PvE build stays untouched. In this one the raid stigmas come out and two that keep you alive go in: Mother Nature's Breath and Ambush Kick. On the skill side, Revitalization Contract and Unyielding Resolve go to 10 and Explosion Trap goes to 10 for its stun; the points come out of Hunter's Resolve, Hunter's Soul and Concentrated Fire. Arrow Scattershot stays at 1, since it only hits a staggered target and players never stagger. Twelve skills at 10, the same 252 points.

Change	Raid preset	PvP preset
Stigmas	Vaizel's Authority, Bow of Blessing, Supporting Fire, Griffon Arrow	Vaizel's Authority, Bow of Blessing, Mother Nature's Breath, Ambush Kick
Deadshot	Skill speed, draw on the move	Skill speed, ignores block and evasion
Gale Arrow and Marking Shot	Longer buffs	Longer buffs, and a chance to knock them back
Drill Dart and Burst Arrow	Speed and damage	Speed and damage, and both heal you on hit
Snare Shot	Faster cast, mobile	Mobile, with the Shackling Arrow follow-up

How a duel goes

Snare Shot, from range
40% slower for five seconds. Everything after this works better on a slowed target, and Burst Arrow only works on one.
Marking Shot, then Deadshot
Precision on, and the hop the way you press: use it to put distance back. Then Deadshot inside Precision, with Vaizel's Authority and Bow of Blessing up.
Drill Dart and Burst Arrow
The bleed cuts their healing by 60%, Burst Arrow hits the slowed target, and both heal you a little on hit.
When they reach you: Ambush Kick
It puts you behind them, knocks them back and jumps you away. At 5 it reaches ten metres.
When they commit: Mother Nature's Breath
Six seconds of taking less damage and resisting crits, with a 50% chance to take a quarter of each hit back as HP. At 5 it also clears bleeds and poisons off you.

Your one break

Defiance sits on Space and isn't on the bar. It frees you from stun, knockdown, airborne, grab, frost and fear and makes you immune to all of it for five seconds. It does nothing against root, slow, seal, blind or taunt. Keep it for the opener that would kill you, usually an Assassin's Shadowstrike, not the first stun you see.

They use	What happens to you	What to do
Assassin's Shadowstrike	Stunned from behind, often out of stealth	Defiance, then Ambush Kick
Assassin's Evasion Contract	Your slows and roots stop working for a while	Burst Arrow has nothing to hit; save it
Templar's Poach	Pulled in and rooted	Defiance won't help; Unyielding Resolve is your resist
Gladiator's Tenaciousness, Cleric's Salvation	Three seconds they can't be hurt	Wait it out before you spend Deadshot

Rerolling Bakarma for duels

Every armour piece rolls Status Effect Resist and HP, with Accuracy or Critical Hit Resist beside them, and its last line goes to Revitalization Contract or Unyielding Resolve. That puts Revitalization Contract at 15, which means more Status Effect Resist every time you're hit while stunned and a big heal once you drop to 10% HP, and Unyielding Resolve at 16, which is what makes roots and pulls slide off you more often. The guard rolls Status Effect Chance and Accuracy, so your own slows and stuns land.

Cards and stigmas

Stigma	Level	In a duel
Vaizel's Authority	10	+20% Attack every minute; Perfect Chance and a stronger Focused Eye while it's up
Bow of Blessing	5	Critical Hit, Accuracy and Multi-Hit for your Deadshot window
Mother Nature's Breath	5	Damage taken down, crits resisted, HP back, damage over time cleared
Ambush Kick	5	Ten metres of reach to get behind them and out

That's the 30 points a fresh 45 has. The grey cards go on Deadshot, Snare Shot and Marking Shot: Deadshot and Snare Shot reach 16, Marking Shot 15. The Bell and the Mirror of Vigor put their single line into Revitalization Contract and Unyielding Resolve.

The Rare Fierce Battle Amulet gives 10% PvP damage; the Unique one gives 20%. Saint of Ereshkigal comes at level 20 of Ereshkigal's Monolith and adds 4% more. Azphel, the PvP board, opens at 45 and fills from its own crystals, so it costs your other boards nothing; this version leaves it closed for now.
