Guild Wars 2

I have been playing around with ranger a bit (level 40~), and was wondering what build would be the best for WvW

I can’t suggest a complebe build for an uplevel. You should probably build for survivability and maximum “tagging,” for the XP/WXP, but once you get to 80, consider the builds in these threads:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/ranger/Sentinel-Frontliner-Next-Level-WvW-Ranger

Since you are only lv40+, your trait/gears are still behind being useful, and also considering the low damage you can output, the best use for WvW and fastest way to lv up is to use axe/axe+horn and run traps, at least these will do some AOE damage to grant you exp/wxp and bags.

I would say that you should rather go for max power gear. If you learn to survive in wvw as a glass ranger, you tackled a big obstacle right there. Getting more defense from there will just make you more confident later when you take on others 1v1. Lots of players consider rangers freekill, and getting defensive on lvl 40 won’t change that much. Run full power, get berserker green gear and yellow weapons for karma from Sharkmaw caverns jumping puzzle, or some place else. Run healing spring, protect me, lightning reflexes, signet of renewal, rampage as one. That is all the defense you will get as glass ranger later on (if you decide to dish out 13-18 gold on speed signets once you hit 80).

My beastmaster hybrid build, I use it to solo, scout or roaming with small group.

You can change for Greatsword in exchange of the bow or the sword/dagger and can switch for a bird (need a pet with hit crit).

enjoy.

thanks for the build, and the help.
