Guild Wars 2

I made a BM Bunker Build Guide Video explaining my thought processes on the Build

Hey Xsorus,

Just wanted to say that my Ranger was my first toon, but had been relegated to ore collecting duty (He was literally wearing a blue coat, pants, boots, and a hat.)

I tried out your build and the ranger is fun again. (Well, a variant, passiflora jewelry is crazy expensive.) I burn through PvE very quickly. I even took him for a spin in WvW. I have never killed anyone so fast.

Thanks!

Very informative guide. Thanks for posting this!

I have just one question. I’ve seen a variation where people will go sword/torch axe/dagger instead. What is your opinion on using that combination instead of what you’ve got slotted?

There is really not difference other than preference. I choose sw/torch and axe/dag because of the evade options on both weapon sets, axe causes bleeding/crippling/weakness etc so dagger is a nice offhand.

Like Fuj said, its preference.

I prefer Sword/Dagger cause I think it feels better and Axe/Torch cause I like a Midrange weapon set.

BM Bunker is very good for solo PVE and Solo World vs World that’s true.

Xsorsus, you sure do like that WS line, huh? As far as I can tell, there’s at least 3 viable variants of this build, one using more of the skirmishing line. Why have you decided to put this one into the video? In other words, what do you like the most about this one? If you answered in the video, sorry, I only got to see the first part before I had to pause. I’ll watch the rest tomorrow.

BM Bunker Build has 3 variants, I talk about them in the movie…

But the mostly center on your pet choice.

I use to believe there was only 2 variants, but over time I now see that 3 are available.

First one is 10/0/30/0/30, this increases condition duration, This is the build you’d probably want to run if you did Spiders of Dogs, as you’d be able to stack cripple and immobilize fairly high up in duration (Believe the Spider one is around 4 seconds with this duration, maybe longer)

Second one is 0/10/30/0/30, This one is designed around pretty much all the DPS pets that aren’t Birds, Drakes/Cats (Dogs can also take this one as well). They get the most benefit going this setup.

Last one is Birds, which is pretty standard, 0/0/30/10/30. All the pets can choose this line, but Birds would best with it.

One thing about the weapon sigils.
Do you need one “on weapon swap” sigil on each weapon? It seems to me they trigger both when swapping to and out of the weapon.

Might need to test this again when I get back home…

Thanks for answering my question, Xsorsus. Honestly I only had time to skip to the builds part and literally only tried to check that. I’ll watch the entire video while I eat breakfast. :)

Very nice video. I posted a recap of your main points here:

Yeap, you got most of it, Armor and runes you can do Melandru/Forge/Dwyana as well.

Food Mango/Lemongrass also work depending on setup.

Healing Spring or Troll Ungent depending on what you’re doing. But yea everything else is correct.

Thanks. I updated the post with your comments. I also described in more details the playstyle that you use in the video (see the end of post).

There are several options for food, around mango and lemongrass.

They only trigger when you swap into it.

Good stuff, looks far more my style than the trap build I threw together to try conditions with.
