Guild Wars 2

Rangers aren´t made for fighting in large scale fights.
This is an attempt to make the ranger an awesome longlasting buffer to your group while surviving the sickest frontline brawls!

What do YOU got with this build?
- Biiiiiig surivability (3k armor, 20k+ HP, perma protection/regen and good healingpower)
- medio-core damage (2,9k attk without bloodlust/might, permafury)
- BOONS: Permanent regen, protection, fury, swiftness, vigor and 40s !!! stability from RaO (stability is the most important boon in a zergfight)
- You heal for 300++ Hp/s

What do you bring for the GROUP?
- +100% boonduration
- 23s regen, 20s swiftness for your party on shout
- 30s of fury, might, swiftness on Call of the Wild (and a blast finisher)
- long lasting waterfield, condition cleanses, more regen (Healing Spring)
- AoE immob and fear to split the enemy zerg

How do you play this build?
This is a frontline build! You´ll stick to the commander and buff your group.
- Spam guard to perma buff your group with regen and your pet with perma protection.
- Set your pet on avoid combat (if it attks a random/stands in AoE and dies it will be no help at all). Stick to brown bear cause he will be unbelievable tanky (100% regen, protection uptime and heal from SoW) so you have the condi removal always on demand. If you time it right: Swap to wolf to fear the enemie and break his lines.
- The GS is your main weapon. Its autoattack hits multiple ppl, maul hits like a truck, leap for gtfo-moments/waterfields and gs4 to block AoE.
Switch to axe/warhorn whenever you feel you need to blast a combofield or your team needs a little damage buff (30s fury)
- You´ll have a TON of vigor (10s every 15s cause you get critted all the time) and 10s on heal…. So you can dodge ALOT. If your server got TS your commander will call out many dodges and you will be usually be able to do so!! Dodging is REALLY important.
- Save your Muddy Terrain for mid fight… The first few sec the enemy zerg will be buffed with stability but after 20s a well casted MT is reaaaaaally painful

I usually use my ranger for single/small group roaming!
But this build is a good way to fight in a zerg and actually be a HELP for the TEAM!

Give it a try and have fun!
