Maybe i should go QQ that i cant kill BM Regen rangers when i play Bunker ele on the Ele forum? Nah i think ill just change my build and my tactics if i want to kill a class instead of going to go QQ on the forums.
Do what you will, tough guy. I can’t be bothered with e-thugs.
Bunch of people have suggested things to change and/or try and you keep saying that it doesnt work. Apperently your way is the best way but it doesnt cut it so i dont know why you keep discussing it with us. Do you want us to agree with the problems you are having when have found ways to work around them?
I don’t keep saying it doesn’t work. I am not alone in voicing concerns about pet ai and excessive cleansing in game, but you keep trying to push it as if I do.
My build works. I pressure the ele as best as I can, but what will get the kill on any bunker as a ranger build is ultimately the pet, and when the pet is not functioning properly because it autoroots while attacking changing from a condi to power spec won’t change anything.
I’ve had little problems discussing with other people besides you and Fura, who both talk to people in forums like you wouldn’t in real life because such behavior would be despicable in a public setting.
My shortbow pressures conditions just fine. I don’t need the axe and I don’t need its offhand. It works for me and other rangers in spvp. What I need is for my pet to hit a moving target.
It’s not important for you, but it is important to me that they split part of my damage into an npc where if that damage were given to me and the pet did not exist I’d have little issues. But they’ve decided the pet will be our main mechanic, and at the very least on a basic level — not susceptibility to aoe, not random usage of abilities like knockdowns/roots, even more minor stuff — I expect them to at least keep up with opponents instead of watching it stare as it chases someone but very rarely catches up with them.
tPvP is different because of the food factor. In tPvP, you should be stalemating d/d eles. They are a broken build.
This thread is about apothecary gear and how it affects our gameplay though. One build from one class that it has issues with shouldn’t be cause to derail the thread into yet another “to kill a d/d ele” discussion :/
Where you guys were going was good before this escalated into argument for whatever reason it did. Swiftness is a huge deal in condition builds since enemies that can kite you are the ones who are most dangerous.
The maddening thing isn’t that you stalemate. It’s that a dd ele in tpvp can stalemate a BM bunker, yet at the same time do great in group fights with tons of team utility, still posses good player controlled burst, and keep the title of the best bunker after the guardian for point holding.
As a BM bunker ranger, you are really only good at one thing, and that is 1v1 and maybe holding 2 people on a point for a bit until a CC heavy class comes along and kicks you off point.
We are a very specialized spec, yet even at the best thing we do we can’t kill some specs that are great at what we do and then even more things BECAUSE the pet ai is deficient. If they improved pet rooting and uptime on moving people, my complaints in a pvp setting would vanish.

So the 2nd question is; is it better to build for more condi damage or more condi duration? Or is it best to balance them? Say your gear is apothecary, weapons are giver and sigils are +10% xxcondi dmg type?
