Hey guys I’m relatively new to theory-crafting so I thought I’d ask you guys for your opinions/suggestions on if this build is good/ways to make it better. It’s for spvp and I built it as a GS and S/D burst build. Hope you guys like it.

Having no condition removal is gonna suck eggs.

A lot of Ranger GS burst builds pour 30 points into Marksmanship for the Signet traits; They then take Signet of the Hunt and Signet of the Wild. Your initial burst is insane with this set-up.

Finally a reply! You’re right though I didn’t take condition removal into account. I also didn’t want to run a signet build (because that’s what everyone else is running). I ran this in a few rounds and I’ve gotten the burst that I wanted with a nice amount of evade. I haven’t really had trouble with condi builds, but I probably will tweak it to take condi removal into acc. Thanks for the reply though! I really appreciate it.

Edit: I also swapped companion’s might for carnivorous appetite so my pet has a bit more survivability

Ok, so I made a few tweaks to take conditions into account. here’s my updated build. I usually switch out renewal with QZ if I know I can burst a guy down. How’s this one guys?

If you want to burst, especially with melee, you want a WH offhand. Dagger gives a great evade and is great for condition damage, but for a burst setup offers almost nothing.

Using both WH skills as you initiate will help your burst a lot.

The added blast (combined with both your leaps) also makes HS a MUCH more viable solo-heal option, which will also help with your condition removal problem.
