Guild Wars 2

In power build, axe #2 doesn’t keep up with there heals.
The only way to actually kill a ranger is to stomp them?

Other than just going for the stomp twice if I have enough health, I’ve used dagger immobilize on the pet and even spectral walked away and ported back to buy time for a stomp. I have also life blasted a downed ranger to death and just feared his pet off to buy some extra time before.

To your second question, down state in a nut shell.

There ‘pet res me’ auto-summons there pet to them even if dead?

Just seems today, I can’t finish them off… Even laying down dps, and droping a well of suffering over them, they out heal me before I get to stomp.

3 rangers 3 rounds, I just can’t stop them getting up again.

If their pet is dead, it’s actually harder to stop them getting ressed because you can’t do anything to the pet.

If their pet is still up, fearing it off the heal (Reaper’s Mark is wonderful) can give you valuable time in stomping them. Poisoning the Ranger always works to buy yourself extra time for a stomp.

Other alternative is to just keep downing them over and over until they skip downed state entirely.

Blind them, then stomp.
Fear pet away if it’s that much of an issue.
Poison them to reduce the healing.
Stomp them again after they hit you with the daze.

Dunno why you have problems with them, they rarely live long enough for the pet res to come up.

Instantly blind and stomp, they can’t stop you, if there’s too much fire around you to take the time to do that, you prob shouldn’t have attempted the stomp in the first place.

shroud stability stomp. well of darkness stomp. dagger 4 stomp. plague stomp. theres the old port with flesh worm and spectral walk. or dps them down.

Ta for the Blind/Fear tips.

Watched a few rangers in spectator. They have to wait 7 sec’s to get the pet res. But after that it’s pretty impossible to dam pressure them down. As it seems ~2.5k heal per sec, tho Im pretty sure I saw one pulling nearly 4k per sec… Anyway, the suns up now so I’m giving up theory crafting & watching others.

You can also wait for the pet to start healing them then fear the pet right away. This will interrupt the channel and it will be on full CD.

Or you can focus the pet until it is close to 10% HP, so when the ranger starts to call his pet you just have to give it a final blow and you can get back to your original business with the ranger.

Seriously?
Pet Hp and regen allow pet to stand on their own against your attack especially if he is BM build.
Solution is actually quite simple, just shoot at him while avoiding the pet.
When pet goes to heal him, just fear it.

If their pet is dead, it’s actually harder to stop them getting ressed because you can’t do anything to the pet.

NOTE: Up or dead , you CAN CAST FEAR on the pet when it is healing , just don’t cast it straight away due to its initial immunity to damage when it is ressed

If the ranger was just downed, just stomp again after first interrupt, pet rez starts with a 7 second cooldown.

If the ranger is smart and uses his pet to fear or knockdown along with his AoE interrupt to stop your stomps and pet rez after then deathshroud stomp as the pet is rezzing and fear pet while stomping.

To deathshroud stomp use Deathshroud and then the Interact button within .01 seconds of each other.
