Guild Wars 2

Can we get a good ranged build already? Sceter is mid range and you still need some meleeing, while staff is godly useless and slow and only good to break down zergs.

I second this sentiment.

I would like to see some hard hitting ranged like rifle warrior or quick damage ranged like short bow ranger =/
Maybe a frostbow conjure build with scepter and focus? lol

In theory, scepter and focus for ranged 1v1, but I’m not sure if focus is still good enough. Fire Shield should offer better “indirect” defense (for pvp) and more offensive power, and comet should rupt more reliably. A S/ F ele is a fairly balanced ranged setup, with a nice mix of offense, defense and disruption.

However, when it comes to hitting hard, I can’t imagine anything other than OH dagger. I don’t think focus will ever reach that level. It does not have Churning Earth, nor Fire Grab. Even if Flamewall is buffed in damage, Focus will probably not specialize on that.

If you’re going to use Frostbow #5 stun, you’re much better set off with Dragon Tooth + Fire Grab.

I would love to see staff completely reworked or add a new 1200 range weapon with fast cast and dynamic skills like daggers, instead of long cast, no mobile and mostly all ground targetted staff. Eles are really in need of new builds.
