Guild Wars 2

I was talking to Bri about this the other day. Since it will be difficult to get ascended weapons, what stats are you going to get on your ranger? We came to the cursory solution to get ascended berserker for whatever you use in dungeons and then basically one of each ascended weapons for rampager stats. For me, that’s a requirement for 4 ascended berserker weapons and 11 ascended rampager weapons—a lot of work!

What are you guys thinking?

It all depends. In WvW I like power bunker builds so I am torn between Berserkers, Soldiers or Knights. And it really depends how the meta changes for a Ranger so I have been hoarding my laurels and commendations until the day I need to spend them.

The stats on ascended weapons will have the ability to be changed to any available stat combination when out of combat. This is in the upcoming patch.

Isn’t that for legendary, not ascended?

Yes it is. Sorry

depends a lot on what you play, for group pve zerker, for wvw depending on the weapon I like zerker (e.g. longbow), soldier (e.g. sword/horn), valk or knight (e.g. axe), for the gaunglet and solo content I liked my rabid (e.g. shortbow, axe, dagger)… looks like for me will be cheaper to get the legendaries :P

There is a stat combo that gives Condition , toughness , precision and some healing power . I am thinking bout getting that

There is only ascended trinkets that is Rabid/Apothecary that gives those stats, but I don’t think it will be possible to craft a weapon with that hybrid combination.

i have a Kudzu!

Haven’t decided yet. I know I’ll only be making a longbow. GS is almost entirely used as a defensive/escape tool for me. It will very likely be Berserkers. If they allow us to craft cavaliers, I’d do that instead.

I am going to be making a beserker longbow, if it is not too much of a grind to make another weapon then I will make a beserker greatsword… I get the impression that personally after making one ascended making more will just be too much of a hassle.

Well with my current two builds, I’d be looking at damage dealing options. I run a knights/zerker mix and I run an Apoth/Settlers mix for solo roaming. So I would have to say, based on this information: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Rarity#Quality

I probably won’t even stress trying to get ascended stats for my apoth build. I use my knights/zerker in more content, and find it more flexible to the amount of situations it performs in, so I would be shooting for a knights longbow.

I use zerker in pve and settler in wvw so I’ll probably be lazy and get celestial if it exists.

Since i have a Kudzu…. i think i am going to go for sword(knight/valk) or a axe(ramp/carrion) but i really don’t know ><". i’ll make all the mats then figure with inscript i need.

Argh…another ugly weapon in GW2. Surprise!

Not looking forward to grinding for something that I don’t even like.

i dont know why everyone want a longbow, still bad dps so only sword/gs but dont know if i rly need them, the stats are not so much better so i dont rly care ^^

Because longbow is the only weapon this class has that’s fun.

Because Anet’s own marketing for the ranger says they’re “unparalleled archers.” As a result, everyone who like ranged combat with a bow made a ranger.

It’s not their fault that the best ranger build is melee with a pet, and warriors are arguably better at range. That was a bait-and-switch pulled by Anet.

Is it me or did they “take away” stats from us since ascended weapons were coming out?

I’m about 60 power/precision/toughness lower than pre patch. I haven’t checked yet to see if the new ascended weapons will be 60 higher or not. Maybe I’m wrong since I didn’t spend a lot of time checking since I noticed it right before I logged tonight. Can anyone else confirm?

Still 179/128/128 on my exotics, and nothing on my builds changed values.
