Guild Wars 2

Hey, if you need help with condi or power ranger in high level you can ask me in game about anything. I’m not the most popular ranger currently but I do consider myself as one of the best. Me and my team (Boreal Gaming) are gonna try be there each week to get better as a team during the ESL, so you’ll be able to watch how I play the class.

thanks Skullface – here are my questions.

It’s concerns positioning and/or builds for Khylo (mid) and Forest (mid).
—
First Build
—-
I run the a Power 66020 build with
LB/SB (or Axe/Torch) Air/Battle Leech/Battle
HS/Wild or Renew (depending on other side)/Stone (or SickEm if a lot of stealth on other side)/LR/Ent
Travelers – I know I know.. Move to Pack. After looking at the numbers, there isn’t enough of a difference to me to give up 25% speed in combat and getting to a new position 25% faster.
Pets: Wolf/Owl

We lose a lot of utility in mid due to our pets having to run all the way around in Khylo Mid/Forest Mid. Basically, we lose all pet dps and utility unless we get in bad positions for either map.

I am wondering if switching to add 2 Ground Targeted Traps for those 2 maps may help. If I drop Moment of Clarity for Trapper’s Expertise on those two maps – I can pick up Viper’s Nest and Frost Trap to help my teammates below the ledge.
I would reduce heals and skill recharge rate…plus the added benefit of Poison and Frost combo fields.

If that sounds bad, please let me know. I’m still new-er to the game, especially Ranked (sub 500 games) and trying to learn.

I personally am not a huge fan of using double ranged LB/SB. I would recommend using LB with Greatsword, really good defensive weapon when the ennemy closes the gap and when you need to get your cooldowns up for your longbow. For Traveller runes i don’t really see much of a use in them as you gain already enough swiftness from Tail Wind and the 4th Pack rune while doing more damage.

If you have a problem with Khylo and Forest map, I would recommend switching for a Spider instead of the Owl you are using. It’s a really good pet when you are ledge casting and to block projectiles with it too by standing behind it.

The thing about traps is they are not worth taking as you are sacrificing way better utilities for your survivability in exchange for traps that won’t help you a lot when you are in trouble.

I recommend keeping Lightning Reflexes, Signet of Stone and Signet of Renewal for most of the time.
