Guild Wars 2

I’m running a 6/4/4/0/0 trait line and pretty much full zerk armor (my leggings are knights for a little survivability) and i have full ascended zerk trinkets. My armor is half ascended and half exotic, but both my Longbow and my Greatsword are ascended berserkers. I use +80 power food and hardened sharpening stone.
Right now i hit around 1.5k-2.5k auto attack in WvW. Other rangers tell me they hit 4k, but i don’t know where those numbers come from.

I’m an experienced player (for the most part.. :P), but any advice will help!
thanks

I think this belongs in the Ranger forum thread but I’ll post my own experience what’s working for me:

Armor: Full ascended zerk with infusions
Trinkets: Recently changed to exo valk and the extra vitality is nice but once I get full asc zerk trinks I will most likely change back
Weapons: Full ascended zerk with infusions (Longbow main, Sword + WH offhand)

Traits: 6-6-0-2-0

The 2 is mainly due to me experimenting with Valk trinks & the trait Strength of Spirit “Gain power based on your vitality” (7%) . It’s a rather minute increase but I’m having fun with it.

Armor runes: Pack Runes. Very nice swiftness and overall I’m enjoying it better than the Ogre ones as the Rock Dog died too often.

Weapon sigils:

Longbow – Force & Bloodlust
Sword: Air (default set by Bolt but I’m probz gonna change to Energy?)
WH: Battle

Utility Skills: Heal as One, Lightning Reflexes is very handy but better if traited, Signet of Wild, Signet of Hunt but I often change to Stone Signet if need be and then Rampage as One.

But yeah, RF hits pretty crazy, auto-attack too on squishy targets.

EDIT: Forgot to add that I constantly run food/utility buffs which are as follows:

- Toxic Sharpening Stone
- Plate of Truffle Steak

At max stacks (eotm/wvw) I think I remember sitting at just above 3k Power.

Hope that helps.

Wouldn’t it be better to just go fire/air sigil on longbow for a wvw burst build.

Are you maneuvering to ensure that you are flanking your targets ? Attacking with full endurance whenever possible, etc ? Essentially, are you taking advantage of all of your situational damage buffs ?

Those numbers come from a stack of might on you and a stack of vulnerability on your target.

Hmm i hadn’t thought about this, but I’m fairly good at situational tactics. Does anyone know any tactics or combos a ranger can do other than just wait for rapid fire?

All you see here is bullcrap of a ranger berserker builds, that’s why rangers are hated, no1 knows how to build them.

Use my build, and come back to thank me.
Now you’ll at least have reason to be hated;)

Damage done greatly depends on your target, I can easily hit 4k on my kittenty exo/rare ranger if I hit something with low armor.

What’s with the 6 points in wilderness survival and random soldier’s earrings…?

I think that build is somewhat WvW, PvP build. The traits and pet choice really show that out.

My highest dmg per shot is around 3300+ at max range longbow, with around 5 might stacks, side attack, full endurance and 90% or above health. Using this 4/5/5 build

Note that this build kitten down your pet a lot though. And need all of situational passive to work. And the damage doesn’t count Sigil of Air (which is around 2000+ per proc)

Nope, I hit 2,8k – 6k per auto attack if i manage to trigger one of signets (air / fire )

My highest is like 24k though.
Rune of Scholar is your best friend because you’ll stay 90%^ hp very often because you hit from 1600~ range.

Dungeons, Open World, sPVP or WvW? Oo
