Bw have better aoe and better single target, you would also have a place in endgame warband.

I looked at sw and literally every sw that spoke said dont even bother.

According to rumors SW may be buffed / reworked soon.
I'd say play whatever is more fun to you. aSW is clearly better for SCs, but it's melee.

...but OP said (s)he prefer Scenario PvP. Thus, SW Warband inferiority complex may be irrevelant here.

Highest SW 1738 rating with 17-5, highest BW (Zarbix btw) - 1566 with 13-10. Tell me more.

Safe to assume that 1738 SW is ASW.

OP specifically stated he wanted a ranged class. If he likes the idea of ASW and wouldnt mind playing ASW every now and then along with RSW then I think SW should be his choice.

But from "ranged dps" standpoint, I think bw would be better.

But to OP, if Rdps is your thing, imo try engi, bw, and sw. I played 5 classes to 20+ and I'm still deciding which I like. Take your time and find what calls to you.

For rdps as order play bw or engie. Only play sw if your a masochist as destro will target you first no matter what. (destro fighting a tank and healer in melee and have both under 20% health but see a sw 65 ft away at full health, immediately swap to sw to chase it down too kill it even if it means being kited to death. ) [personal experience]
