Guild Wars 2

I recently was thinking of a fun build to use in team fights as a ranger and came up with what I call the Chillin Villain. This specs main goal was to let me run around dropping chill and other conditions on my enemies so my allies are easily able to chase and kill them. This spec is not a 1v1 build and if you find yourself in a situation where you are alone against enemies do not expect to be able to kill any of them or escape.
Here is the build : http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fMAQNAnfVjEV511V+Vg2BglCADspITJZPM0xHL40B;TEBAzypESJlSNlSKKhM/I+xClTIJUrLGXcu4dx0AA

The only necessary utilities with this build are the frost trap for the chill field and the condition signet for much needed condi removal and a stun breaker. All the other slots can be changed out depending on what the group needs.

So far I have had the most success using this build with a full glass cannon warrior in duo roaming, or in larger groups with a necro using epidemic to spread the chill to even more target.

My armor is full rabid with my jewelry being 1/2 rabid 1/2 carrion.

For food I use the maintenance oil and veggie pizza during the day and I have been trying out chili poppers at night.

Anyways hope you guys enjoy the build and keep chillin it in wvw. :P

That’s a sick build man

Totally Radical!!!

Did the runes work for the chill duration? I tried this in the mists and it seems the chill duration didn’t add to the chill coming from the axe #2. Although the pvp runes say frozen duration. Instead of Bleeds on crits, you could try +30% pet speed, as you don’t use warhorn, it would make it easier to chase down enemies if you’re roaming in a small group.

The runes are working for chill duration. I just tried it without them last night. I also have started using a warhorn for the team buffs. As for the bleeds on crit, I use those as a buffer for my chill so that enemies have to use up more cleanses to remove the chill.

Yknow i am the Leader of Hidden Sin [ONI] Would you like to come and take over our band of extremely skilled and wild bunch? They don’t listen to anything you ever say annnd still own zergs. Your chill build would be perfect for MY guild that I made and not Aynkou. Just sayin, sent invite

Seems as though the build link is broken? I’m actually playing with Ranger Chill build myself and figured I’d snoop around to see what folks have or haven’t tried. It’s spec’d for 30/5/0/30/5 using P/T/V (soldier) gear along with 2x Superior runes of Ice, 2x Superior runes of Svanir, 2x Superior runes of Sanctuary, and a Superior Sigil of Chilling. The condition duration for chilled becomes +100% by doing this. The weapons are Longbow (chilling)/Axe (chilling) + Dagger (hydromancy), the pets are the Arctic Wolf, Polar Bear, and Rainbow Jelly. Utilities are Frost Trap, Frost Spirit, and Quickening Zephyr, with Rampage as One for the elite. Marksmanship traits are Steady Focus, Piercing Arrows, and Eagle Eye with nature magic traits set for Strength of Spirit, Spiritual Knowledge, and Spirits Unbound. The 5 point dips into Skirmishing and Beastmastery are for gaining Swiftness and Quickness when swapping weapons and pets respectively. I may end up forgoing having +100% chill durations for a full set of Runes of Ice as the tier 6 buff is +5% damage against chilled foes, and it would be more vitality which also translates to even more damage from the Strength of Spirit trait. I’ll be testing and tweaking the build for awhile in sPvP before I start leveling the Ranger through PvE and eventually WvW. Nice to see ideas on “Chill Bro” rangers, makes me feel not so alone in my desire to build one.

Should use guildhead.
