Guild Wars 2

Party of 5 longbow rangers

Sigil of Night 10% (or Force if dungeon is not night time) 5%

Sigil of Undead Slaying 10%

Potion of Undead Slaying 10%

Steady Focus trait 10%

Eagle Eye trait 5%

Preadtors Onslaught 10%

Strength Booster 5%

Superior Rune of the Ranger 6: 10%

70% damage increase VS dungeon path, 50 – 60 if not in dungeon) (65% if Sigil of Force for day time)

Maxed power traits, maxed precision traits, 2 traits in vitality with strength of spirit trait (7% of vitality to power)

Full zerker armor, weapons and zerker/ valk (Power+++, Ferocity++, Precision and vitality+)

Juvinile stalkers F2 = 5 stacks of might x 5 rangers = 25 might stacks

spamming 5(for predators onslaught effect) , 2 (for infinite stakc sof invulnerability) and 1 at max distance for maxinum damage… would probably use food with 100 power and 70 ferocity…

Most dangerous ranged party to exist?

ah, how do they stack might?

And think 2 eles, 1 warrior, 1 ranger, 1 thief, would do more damage.

most dangerous ranged party would be 4 staff eles and mesmer/another ele, depending on the lenght of the fight.

Most dangerous ranged party would obviously be 5 staff eles.

Single target damage maybe.

cough cough Ice bow and fgs ele. cough cough

Lol rangers….. 2 eles, war, guard and thief beats 5 rangers any day. But to your question ranged fight 5 staff eles beats rangers because of the might stacks. /icebows before they get completely nerf to fire axe

Party of 5 longbow rangers

WOW WOW WOW WOW!!!
uh think not…

2 eles, war, guard and thief

About right.
[insert LB ranger bashing here]

A Dragon apparently is the deadlist pet, if the new Guardian Specialization Dragonhunter is to be believed for a bit, before it gets debunked.

5 rangers would be like a pinball game:
123 4 – ping 123 4 – ping 123 4 – ping

Aenesthesia.1697:

ah, how do they stack might?

As already stated, juvenile Jungle Stalker gives party 5 stacks of might on it’s f2 (which also means that all the stalkers have a full 25 as well).

Unless they raised the cap on might, that’s full stack. Maintain some might with rampage as one?

If they focus fire, they should be able to melt anything real easy.

Actually there’s merit to the OP’s idea.

If you range with a staff ele, enemies are going to run out of your fields. Rangers can track enemies easier. Not saying you couldn’t do it with eles, just reminding people not to think with stack mentality on a ranged thread.

Guardian? Eeeeeeh no. Not till they get their Dragonhunter stuff.

Warrior can bring banners and might so: he qualifies as potential.

Thief? They still do less ranged DPS than ranger longbow and that’s even WITHOUT the pet.

Don’t forget Barrage is a wonderful thing. Barrage and Rapid Fire together surpasses average melee spike damage.

Single target damage maybe.

We’ll get piercing arrows built-in to our LB damage increasing trait with the upcoming changes.

3 Guardians with consecration traits beat 5 (or technically any number of) longbow rangers.

why take thief over ranger? ranger gives you frost spirit and spotter.

5 venom share thieves, ok it’s Friday night I’m drunk and can’t sleep lol

If you’d have your 5 buffed rangers focus fire on the ele’s you would win in seconds…

1. 5 stalkers f1 =>25 might
2. 5 times ROA => fury /stability
3. All just rapid fire 1 ele (~15k dmg) , from 1500 range, ele’s cannot counter. maybe some have reflect skills if so good thinking… all ele’s at 14k HP go down.
4. just barrage ‘m to death, I’d like those mist forms scurry everywhere
5. just rapid fire second time,
6. done.

No need to ever be in range of the Ele’s.

Oh ignore frost spirit, it costs time, the added 10% is a waste. They’ll be dead anyways, 1 could take spotter of course, and you could exhaust their dodges if you wanted to…

Alternatively: Just by firing skill1: 3,5-4k dmg from max range tends to hurt. 5 times 3.5 is 17.5k

If this rapid fire doenst work out just focus them individually,

1. Target #1 : 5 ppl focus: skill 1, down , 5 ppl focus: skill 1, dead
2. Target #2 : 5 ppl focus: skill 1, down , 5 ppl focus: skill 1, dead
3. Target #3 : 5 ppl focus: skill 1, down , 5 ppl focus: skill 1, dead
4. Target #4 : 5 ppl focus: skill 1, down , 5 ppl focus: skill 1, dead
5. Target #5 : 5 ppl focus: skill 1, down , 5 ppl focus: skill 1, dead
   If anyone gets close skill 4, or just press rapid fire, advantage of all ppl taking 1 shot, if when reflected you stay up, if not they go down.

yeah, dumb reading from my side, sorry. However, no way they can keep up 25 stacks of might during one fight. If the fight is short, then 2 eles, thief, ranger, warrior, should do better (icebow is better than anything the rangers can throw, and staff is stronger than anything other than icebow)

Oh, I forgot to include the extra 25% damage increase from signet of the wild. So there’s that. Enjoy.

Also they can maintain the might stacks with the right food, utilities and Rampage as One elite skill. It’s more easier than you think with rangers. Maybe not like ele but 2nd to ele most definitely.

And then the ele remembers he has abilities too, hits magnetic aura, watches all of the rangers go down at the same time, and then all 5 of them meteor shower so they dont have to get their feet dirty running over to stomp them.

Only thing rangers can do that eles cant is hit from 1500 range and roleplay as legolas (and we can kind of do that with frost bow)

This is PVE we’re talking about. Not PVP. Let me know when you see a mob use reflect in dungeon. Lol.

I don’t know about in dungeons, but I’ve seen Earth Elementals use it out in the open world. So, it could happen.

Best range party in the game?

Me on my gs/sw/wh warrior build + 4 pugs.
