Guild Wars 2

Well,my girlfriend started to play a ranger recently and i was wondering what class would go well with that.Can somebody please tell what is the best class and why?Thank you very much

Don’t really think there is any “best” Duo for Ranger at the moment.
Do you mean PvP, PvE or WvW?

She is going ranger but im having a headache what to choose.Mainly PVE

If you having that much trouble then just pick a Guard or Ele or even Herald to provide some decent supports on her.

This is my personal imo but i think Necro aka Scourge will go really well with your gf due to barrier and massive condi cleanse.

I think about going necro but dont know what build to use .Im sort of a newbie.

Ranger, PvE – in most cases this still means longbow ^^. The headache is totally relatable. With the upcoming renegade & deadeye, we are going to run into that issue more often. There are a few options that could work:

- Thief: Using a shortbow should allow you to hop easily between enemies and your friend. You can use venoms to boost her abilities and assist her pet in slaughtering whatever is in range. You should be fast enough to head back in great danger, stealth-resurrect or sneak away together. This option however lacks defenses and the ability to actively heal.

- Guardian: A standard facero… Dragonhunter build and or meditation build should keep you easily alive and make you a powerful damage source. The gameplay is not that difficult. In times of great danger you can use the meditation-teleport skills to return to your friend. Depending on the build you use you can sacrifice part of your dps for support-aspects, do some healing, condition cleansing or even buffing.

- Ranger: A traditional bear-bow combinded with a shout build should work well. I run such a build on a ranger myself. You both will have access to permanent swiftness, regeneration, a good load might stacks. If combined with the 6x trooper rune, you can cleanse conditions while buffing. If you decide to run with a warhorn, you become an even better buffer but you are quite limited with closer range combat, if an enemy ever comes that close. Compared to the other classes you can stick to your friend 100% of the time, what eliminates the range-issue.

I do agree with the others and doubt there is a best solution. Ask yourself what you want to do? Do you want to aid your friend in terms of buffs & support? Do you want to keep danger away from her, fighting in the frontline and doing the dirty work with the pets? Make that decision first and then look for a class that fulfills that purpose best.

I want to be more in the front lines,fighting with her pet ,letting her do the assisting .

Then go necro, with the massive HP pool and ton of HP steal you will be the perfect frontline although core necro and reaper won’t bring much of supports but with scourge ( this mostly theocraft ) you can put 1 shade at your friend’s location, have her stand there and 2 around you in frontline and just keep using F skills when needed, this way you can also deal very decent dps as well as keep your friend safe.

Not to mention you can also trait into minion master, those minions can keep the enemy at bay really well too.

For build you can visit metabattle.com or qtfy.eu for dun/raid/wvw , you can also add me ingame through my forum’s account i will give you my personal build.
