Guild Wars 2

Hey,

I really want to use a guild using this combo in PvE but I just need some help on what I can spec into to bring it to its full potential. I feel I’m doing the damage they I would like to.

Or if the combo is crap could someone tell me what is flavour of the month in terms of rangers now?

I hit 80 now and yeah. Any help is much appreciated

Cheers

same here, mostly because i want Rodgort AND Frostfang, lol

Any tipps on traits which are usefull?
(mostly because most traits don’t have any numbers…)

I use this: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fMAQNAnfRjEV11tVyVo2Bi2jJZ+zzeYIH9oXh0XwqG

Barkskin and Empathic bond are interchangeable and should be swapped based on what you are doing and whether conditions are a concern or not.

Edit: Really the trap traits, barkskin/empathic bond, and Offhand Training are the only ‘must have’ traits in that build. The rest is really optional. I happen to really like 5 in beastmastery for the QZ + 1 spam on greatsword (so much evading).

You can actually get away with pre/tough/condi gear or pre/pow/tough armor easily (I use berserker jewelry because I just don’t have anything else right now). I have both sets and have used both succesfully (I’ve also used full apothecary). Toughness is important, vitality not so much. Then just choose your preferred damage type and go for it. Condition Damage actually works better if you’re just lazy farming around Orr or something but if you want to do dungeons it’s not always the best. I’ve found power to be the more versatile and generally useful if you only have one set but in situations where Condi is stronger than power it REALLY outclasses it (with this build).

The main thing you need to learn with this build is you axe is not a ranged weapon (not long range anyway). Between Splitblade and Bonfire you actually want to be up in the enemies face most of the time. Floating at around 100-400 range is usually a good place to be.

I basically use the axe to gather up as many enemies as I can (literally I can’t pull enough mobs in Orr before they leash to fail). Once they are grouped drop your traps and Bonfire. Fire Split Blade through the group (aiming can be tricky). Swap to greatsword and maul/1 spam until they’re all dead (swoop for a fire shield or a heal through healing spring if you can).

If you’re fighting a champ or another tough single target swap out the greatsword for a shortbow and swap between axe/torch and shortbow liberally to keep up as many conditions as you can while not 1 spamming on the axe/torch set unless you have to, or there is 2-3 targets. 2-5 on axe/torch should be on CD as much as possible though.

It works incredibly well actually. The main reason I prefer this over a lot of other builds is I can AoE farm better than any other spec I’ve tried. I can kill 5+ enemies in the time it takes many rangers to kill one.

There’s probably a decent build out there, but as it is right now, the burning condition is not the best of conditions. :/

My idea is this

-Axe+torch skillcombo 4then3 enemy will burn and then cold(Acting skin smooth than 3then4) and Aex is good for fight monster1v1 or1v2 or1v3.

-Shappening stone overall useful even torch can make enemy bleeding lol or use this and use skill2axe in zero-range u can make 5-9stack bleeding in1hit.

-Pet combo condition and long duration make enemy more suffer and bear type can regen+tough+ton of HP itself.

-Lighting.R gain Vigor and this skill break stun(knockdown too)U will have more choice of eveading and have more space to kite them again.

-Signet of the wild.Regen HP overtime make u stand long for fight enemy.

Marksmanship
II – pet make long condition.(For pet condi yes,But IDK It active with skill 3Axe or not?)
VII – Get70pre or III – When hp reach75% use Shapening.S
(combo with Nature.M passive)

Wilderness Survival
VI – Cooldown Sue.skill fast20% .
VII – Torch will CD faster and skil5 bigger.
XI – remove codi from u to pet is good .(If pet dead this passive will no active.)
or VIII – if u mercy for your pet use this will safe your life too.(Active every20sec no active when u dead.)

Beastmastery
V – Skill F2 pet faster.
or I – Pet atk skill CD10% faster.
