Guild Wars 2

I don’t think anyone else can beat this damage, and I’ve probably done more damage to this guy. Good luck.

I dont have any knowledge of rangers in dungeons. is spamming auto attack the only way to rack up considerable damage against a boss? ( im being serious)

also, nice path of scars in there.

good job man… but… are you running full zerker build, right?

I’d like to know your stat’s, I run full zerker as well maybe but I have never hit 12k for path of scars… makes me think you’re running valkyrie?

Zerk/Valkyrie Power and Critical dmg are the same. Possibel Sholar Runes(im using them). And using a Signetbuild.

With Mawl GS2 u can hit for over 25k possibel 30k+ fullbuffed.

Yeah I could use a GS and hit for over 25k with a lucky hit but I don’t think the dmg output is as high as the 1hand sword auto attack spam and offhand axe path of scars. You can also be attacking while your path of scars is on the way back. If you’re luck you’ll get two good crits in with path of scars for 12k+ each hit fully buffed.
Using all berserkers with scholars runes .

If you just wanted to burst him for one hit with more dmg you could also use signet of the hunt for the 50% more dmg. No need to use that though.

Did the enemy have 25 stacks of vuln and you 25 stacks of might? I can’t seem to get that damage on my ranger.

I think I could beat your damage on my Ranger

But nice job, it’s good to see other Rangers using a Sword!

So…. ranger damage is all auto attack?

So…. ranger damage is all auto attack?

yup, press 1 and win.

The second attack is a leap backward, if you press it again you leap back in. Although it is a tad stronger in damage, the travel time make it less strong then just letting 1 roll on..

The third attack is an evasive roll around the target with poison damage. Since most people using the sword in pve for enormous damage are mostly zerker, this is not worth it as well.

Thats usually why i prefer greatsword overall, the damage is almost the same ( a bit lower) but way more active, got control on my character and decide where i leap etc.

So if you decide to use the greatsword, it still do quite enough damage if you are not into min/max, its not a big dps loss. For me, it just feel more confortable.

The biggest advantage of the 1hnd sword is to be able to decide your off hand for the task i guess. The might stack on the pet can lead to a better dps too.

Pressing 1 over and over is mad skills!

Lots of classes rely on their AA for doing damage with certain weapon sets, why is this such a surprise for people? The downside is yes it makes the game a bit monotonous, but the upside is it saves your skills (In this case your 2 evades) for when you need them, it also allows you to concentrate more on positioning and watching what is happening with the fight to know if you need to avoid that big damage spike.
Edit: Pressing buttons just for the sake of pressing buttons does not always mean that there is more skill involved

No, Greatsword DPS on Ranger is closer to Shortbow. One-handed Sword is the highest and best DPS option. People that claim Sword is “press 1 to win” have not used a Sword and don’t understand the hazard that comes with playing it.

There are hazards using sword when you have 25 stack of might from warriors and possibly protection if there is a guardian around?

Being locked in an attack animation on a boss with a one-shot move, flying off a ledge because you didn’t time autoattack correctly, not correctly interrupting you attack chain to dodge boss AoE, fighting trash mobs and flying into the middle of the room and aggroing more, the list goes on. Again, a comment from someone that doesn’t understand Sword on Ranger.

If Slave Driver did not die so quickly and he had the ability to attack, a Sword Ranger that was locked in place in front of him would die rather immediately. Sword is a VERY high risk with the reward of putting out Warrior DPS.

Namica.2951:

So is the warrior.

axe/mace>warrior greatsword.

And all you do on axe warrior is autoattack.

Guess what’s the case for necromancer zerker? dagger autoattack.

Guess what’s the damage for the guardian mainhand sword? Autoattack.

Guess what’s the damage for the ele? Lightning hammer autoattack!

The only class who doesn’t spam autoattack so much is the thief, but that’s because his cnd>backstab sequence is not on a long cd. and s/p thief just spam #3 instead.
