while i love the tank and dueling capabilities of full conditions, i’ll be switching over to a hybrid SB build. i cant down people fast enough in a zerg with just conditions. too much cleansing, too much safety in a zerg. anyway, it’s nice to have both options.

That’s pretty much been my aim, I was very high condition damage at one point but I’ve slowly moved myself towards a much higher crit chance and lower healing (TU and dodges/vigor made healing less important once I got to grips with ranger) and will start to consider more power as well.

Are you dropping conditions for power totally? I’d considered it but found I was getting constant 450-500 crits over and over with the build I have right now and was happy with that for now.

no i like what youre doing. imo crit > toughness > condition damage > healing, cuz id be using two traps. some condition damage is needed. likely i’ll just do apoth/knight’s

Yes that’s pretty much how I see it as well.

Although traps and me have a love and hate relationship, I love using them but I really don’t like losing the utility that I can have in their place.

muddy terrain and LR are a must for me. i usually get caught in combat with SoH, so i might as well just leave it on my bar. this is with my condition bunker. but for SB hybrid, i think 2 traps + LR is a must.

Ha I kept getting stuck in combat with SoH so I just gave up changing it in the end as well, now the problem is I’m too used to it and when I try and slot something else I feel like I’m stuck in mud.

to get back on topic, will be posting a cleric vid tomorrow, check it out in these ranger forums, on guru, and reddit if it doesnt get downvoted hah.
