Default Nuking Ranger-type Build?

I know nothing about Guild Wars.

I want to really give this game a shot, but have been told by several people that the build I make is very important.

My normal role in a MMO is a glass-cannon type caster type, but I've never really played a game where I've had a pet fight alongside me and that seems spectacular.

When I search some of the wiki sites dedicated to GW I can't really find any builds that utilize this, is it just not feasible? Am I not looking hard enough?

I would think that sending in a pet to tank and then nuking would be kind of a logical thing, but then again - I'm a noob.

I don't mind what class I have to be as long as it's ranged, and I get to use a pet.

Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks so much.

I'll try find my Spliter Barrage Ranger great nuker in general for giant aoe mobs
but mind you you dont exactly tank with a pet in Guildwars there just there for added dps and buff's for the ranger class

The only viable pet build I'm able to find is the bunny thumper, so I guess I'll give it a shot.

I guess I don't mind being melee as long as I do well, and get to use a pet. ^^

I don't know how to help you, since i've not played with pets myself (Rangers in my opinion are good for shutting down opponents).

Check there if you haven't already. I skimmed through the ranger bit and couldn't find much, but hopefully you'll find something useful.

i beg to differ you can tank with pets.http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Call_of_Protection is a great tanking skill combined with http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Heal_as_One, then take http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Predator%27s_Pounce for an additional heal maybe even http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Symbiotic_Bond.

IF you are interesting in playing with pets.. its best to start here to see what pet you want and what kind of evolution you want.
