Guild Wars 2

Nothing special, just decided to start recording again and threw this together from over the last few days on Ochit my Asuran melee ranger. You don’t see my spec every day so I figured what the heck =D

Its just some hotjoin and I’m no pro

I suddenly have an urge to play melee ranger xD.

That last clip. Such carry. I hope that ele sucked yer kitten after that.

Out of curiosity, why would you use “Protect Me!” over Signet of Stone? It’s a pet sac and prevents point capture, the only thing it has going for it is slightly shorter cooldown. I run a shout-centric BM build myself, trooper runes and all, and I’d never pick “Protect Me” over Signet of Stone.

Slightly shorter is an understatement. Signet of Stone recharge is 80 seconds. Protect Me is 48s.

This and add an additional condi cleans and AE Buffs. Both have merits, it’s less of an issue with Drakes. I lose a Dog every so often =)

Fantastic vid and awesome music Can you share your build with me?

Yet it prevents point capture, puts pet in serious danger in any situation where you might need to use the skill, is cancelled with any pet command and doesn’t have the passive benefit of SoS. With WHaO, Sic ‘Em and SotP, a shout trigger isn’t worth the 48s cooldown (personally, I use Guard as a shout trigger and to help the pet stay alive when focused) and the 32s shorter cooldown doesn’t make up for it’s other shortcomings in my book.

I used this build today and it kinda kicks some kitten Thx for posting it!

Melee rangers with quickdraw and shouts have some of the best mobility in the game, minus blinks.
It’s a lot of fun and skilled but also easily countered.

Did your pet hit for 17k btw? O_o’

drake’s tail swipe under right circumstances is a killer

No prob, happy you liked it.

I’m already planning on another vid, will invest a bit more time on the editing.

Oddly enough Halcyon the Reef Drake seems to hit harder than the others, I have some new footage and I have 2 of the Reef landing for 18,2 and 18.8. No might was involved and I have already seen what it does to full glass so I’m confused as to why I hit harder with the Reef off same delve…
