Guild Wars 2

The combination of several bunker traits such as the new bark skin+ the protection/weakness trait got me thinking.

Is there anyone with greater understanding of what a competitive team needs who sees merit in a very bunkerish ranger who focuses on aoe controll en dedicated rezzing? Aoe taunts/fears/immobilizes, firefield, waterfield? Very strong and fast rezzes while being very sturdy and evasive. Or is the lack of damage and stability such a build would provide too much of a setback

There is no need for such a build. This build would be viable only in a highly skilled group with dedicated roles, and not even then it would be favorable.

The support build might happen to tumble over wanting to get people up… But that’s probably it. And you don’t really need the support dedicated build that much as a ranger.

Your job is to prevent people from getting downed, after all. If you want to ress people up, you’d need protection in the 1st place.
