Guild Wars 2

Hi ranger community!

Thanks to daily fractal drops I’m zeroing in on a set of medium ascended celestial gear, and I’ve been looking for a ranger build that can make good use of it.

I’m leaning towards a druid trap build, but with the small bit of testing I’ve done I haven’t been too impressed (im also not very good, so there’s that too). Can anyone recommend anything? If you had to roam around WvW with a set of celestial gear on, what would you be attaching to it?

Thanks in advance!

Lb or SB, stealth traps, ancient seeds.
I’d make that my core.

Staff on swap, run whatever trait lines / complementary utilities, they are all pretty solid.

Sword/X on swap, run beastmastery / complementary shouts for healing tics. Can alternatively maybe run NM if you really wanna go warhorn.

I do not advise mainhand axe or gs.

Ive tried celestial trapper with SB and S/T with some mild success. If I went with something different I would try something like this:

Kk I put something together,

I set it up mainly as power, as celestial is 3 power stats, with a side of condi for attrition assist. There is alot of room for tailoring but strictly for roaming it should be OK.

One thing to note in general, full celestial on ranger is kind of wasted stats. It’s not that you cannot use all the stats, its just you do not need that many defensive stat points while roaming.

Funnily enough, if I were to toss this celestial set into the forge for something different, I’d probably do trailblazer’s or apothecary’s, maybe even nomad’s.

Woah, don’t do that!
I will quit the game if you transmute your ascended celestial armor to one of those stats…
