Guild Wars 2

Right now I’m using Brazil’s updated ranger build with two swords and am going to switch back to the old one bc I think it’s better always having a ranged weapon in case you need to retreat for a bit. I was wondering however if I should make my main set s/d or s/w. I only see warhorn good for the blast finisher as warriors will usually keep fury up on party. Dager on the other hand has an extra dodge which is valuable when fighting bosses. Do you guys think dagger> WH or WH is an absolute must?

well, torch is if you’re running condition, but why not put axe off-hand in the equasion? Can be bretty good, specially if your team’s composition is missing vulnerability

I often run s/d and a/w so you get the best of both worlds.

Sword/Axe = best.

Axe is for power, dagger or torch for condition.

Dagger has the extra evade so more defensive…torch has more condition damage than dagger.

Torch is burning what should be always applied in gruops.

Axe if u want to reflect something, Horn for Buffs. Dagger to get an extra evade.

Torch 5 (bonfire) would be a lot more compelling if they fixed it so it would hit 5 targets. Right now it only hits 3 targets, as if it’s a cleaving melee attack.

With torch 5 you can leap in and back out with sword 2 and get fire aura so you can stack might, just a thought.

Which is triggering if u get hit most times u get hits in dungeons/fractals it´s not rly healthy.
And Axe 5 is for reflection only, not Vulstacking. Most bosses have – 50% duration (some more), so the stacks will last for 5 seconds or so. Your personal dps will fall so far that it will be a group dps lost.

If you had to choose one I’d go with WH. The fury application and DoT from #4 is much more useful than a single dodge if you can only have one.

I play S/W and I have a ton of fun doing it.

Could you post links or give directions on where to find the builds you mention?
