Guild Wars 2

I’m mainly a lvl 80 ranger myself and have tried least 100 times on liadri so far.

At first I started with passing phase 1 but then having no option to attack and running out of time
(was using gs for orbs,and longbow)

Since pets instant die since “dodge” isnt in their vocab,basing trait/damage on your pets and them not dieing instantly is like RNG legendaries 2 time in a row haha.

After many attempts I realised that longbow wasnt fast enough to hit enough to kill more than 75% before the time limit, I decided to move to shortbow for condition and sword/warhorn for boosts and melee etc

I think time limit is quite annoying as Ranger is a constant damage over time rather then burst dps and run type. (also having to face her unlike some other classes is abit annoying.

I have traited for dodges and dodge food but i cant dodge forever because of the time limit
Pet and my Longbow (kudzu ) are useless in this fight (my opinion) as longbow cant attack enough b4 u have to run away/face away or dodge aoe/minions

I’m thinking of trying aoe traps next but seems risky as i would then have no invuln (invuln signet) aswell as not being sure they would have enough dps

Note : closest i got with longbow was about 1/2 hp and ran outta time.
Closest with anything else has been around the same either running outta time or ran outta dodge for 1/2 arena aoes

I’ll add more info I’ve collected and figured out about ranger at later date to help others but as I stand atm it may be faster to make a another guard/mesmer to beat it for me easier.

Anywho.. Anyone help as to how to beat with ranger?

Update: Finally beat Liadri on my ranger.

just used longbow and short for vuln and condition
didnt bother with pets or blocks

just used passive signets and dodged a ton

I’ve officially seen every variation of her name :p I dont know much about rangers, but I do know condi specs do very well against her

If longbow does not work use shortbow. Faster, condition based damage. In addition trait for pierce (or whatever it is called), so you can hit her although your attack obstructed by her vision of mortality. Ask your guild to party, so you can target her (it helps for range).

Thanks I found that out the hard way from seeing other classes videos dropping her hp with ease.

not having pets for 95% of the fight is abit annoying,guess ill have to try traps
I saw one ranger say he did it with spirit to insta res,then shortbow bleed to death but still hard to use sb at all as u have to face her press target and shoot while stopping to roll or move outta aoe/foes

p.s lol i misspelled amazingly

The Liadri slayer club thread has dozens of rangers who killed her. Check out that thread to see what build they used

Yeah thats where i got my builds from,though most relied on pet luck with short invuln signet time or unreliable spirits/weps

I think my problem is that I dont have time to attack and am mostly just dodging due to not being able to constantly face her

Killed Liadri on a ranger and guardian

Yeah, just playing it safe, forgetting your pet altogether, and kiting her with a bow is the safest way to handle beating her normally.
