A quick look at my Ranger build. I discuss the logic behind each decision I made selecting gear, and share a few ideas for further optimization. (screenshot of build below) UPDATE: I have posted an updated video guide that includes 4 minutes of GM2 gameplay: https://youtu.be/MTnit_Z5Zr4
UPDATE1: I will need to run a few more tests on the "support" slot, mainly testing Q: %dmg increase compared with %combo damage increase. There may have been a few extra elements skewing the results when I was testing the damage numbers. Originally it appeared that Q: %dmg was yielding much smaller numbers than it should be. UPDATE2: With the upcoming changes for the 3/12 patch, this build will be able to push into GM3 with minimal gear upgrades.
This build can handle up to GM2 currently, and I plan to continue pushing it into GM3. The gear will need further stat optimization to achieve this.
If you have any questions about the build, feel free to ask.

Benefits of blast damage: https://youtu.be/Ps3_oU9vORU
Text version of build below:
-build requirements-
venom darts, sticky grenade, siege breaker (offhand sniper), tip of the spear, cooldown reduction
-quick overview-
most of the damage comes from combo + blast increase (nade), and cooldown reduction. the constant venom darts will ensure that you take the combo on detonation. you can usually fire one right before the grenade detonates. acid debuff also provides a group damage increase on the targets.
spam nades and darts, pretty simple! use your gun to help with shielded enemies. successful combo heals you for 40% hp (unlimited range) and will heal/rez the group members AOE around your javelin (tip of the spear MW mod). use siege breaker to freeze big elites, save ammo for only 3 shot freezes. main gun can by anything (flex spot). i chose thunderbolt of yvenia for the extra damage to shields (lightning proc).

Mike had to leave for work, so he bestowed upon me his Gillie suit and the new MK14 (straight beastmode gun). Turned the two into a fine chicken dinner.

SWTOR. SOLO, Jedi Guardian. Baron Insaned. In this video, I showcase 1 hutball match and 1 veteran flashpoint at level 75. I have recently started playing Star Wars the Old Republic again, after years of a break. Having a LOT of fun. The pvp is consistently fun, the missions are a great RPG experience, and the fashion is SWEET. My Guardian is about half way done gearing and needs 5 more set pieces for tech fragments. 01:23 fashion description, 01:58 hutball match begins, 04:49 good engagement begins, 07:27 first death of the match, 10:42 the perfect rotation, 11:19 mistakes were made, 12:00 final score, 12:24 brief gear overview, 13:16 talents and spec, 16:19 legacy page, 17:39 flashpoint begins, 25:25 first boss, 29:16 second boss, 34:04 final boss, 36:46 final thoughts.
Server: Star Forge (US)
Name: Baron Insaned
Gear: ilevel 306. Half way augmented. 1/6 set for tech fragments.
Spec: Jedi Guardian, Vigilance
Tactical: Cut to Pieces (for PVE there is another one to get, I still have yet to buy. the one that refreshed your DOTS from using blade barrage)
Game is free to play, and now on Steam!
