So after watching this by xsorus https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/ranger/BM-Bunker-Build-Guide-Movie
He had mentioned a Protection build. so I made this.

So what do you guys think? Any of you try this? I mainly am going to use this in wvw 10-15 man groups.

Hmm, You’re running a Power Based Weapon Setup with a Condition Based Gear Set.

I’d use Clerics Armor with that setup vs Apothecary.

Could consider Superior Rune of the Forge Also.

^ Yes. Rune of Forge.

Since according to wiki (http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Rune_of_the_Grove). The protection duration of grove(2) is bugged and will not work.

Whats the maximum average protection uptime/minute with ranger?

With spirits it’s a very high uptime, if not perma protection with the right runes.

Thanks. Do you know how it’ll stack with Bark Skin (You and your pet take 30% less damage when under 25% health). Coz Bark Skin doesn’t seem to come in the form of a protection boon.

Edit:
2monk (15boon duration), 2water (15boon duration), 2earth runes (20 protection duration) with stone spirit. This might be better since the boon duration will affect protection, regeneration and vigor (assuming you’re running healing spring).
