Guild Wars 2

Has anyone tried running a Regen Ranger in WvW since patch?

Can you do it still? Or is it broke?

How does it perform?

Trapper are better atm and you can keep regen on you anyway 24/7 imho

The last time I ran a trapper build was before the ‘every build is now kitten’d patch’
It was soft, really soft, the dmg could be alright but it didn’t have near the survivability that the regen build I ran.

I didn’t ask about a trapper build.

To be clear what that build was,

Sword Torch, Axe Dagger
Full Apothecary (Healing, Toughness, Condition)
Rune of the Undead
Koi cakes as food
1.4k health regen per second while healing with troll ungent

Troll Ung
Guard (traited perma regen and swiftness)
Signet of The Wild
Signet of Renewal

well yes it still viable alll though i use an other rune and lightng reflex and i swapped the offhand weps to dire for vit overall still good. i do miss offhand training. but be warned burning guard will mess you up burning stacks is too op its kitten but then again dodge alot use your evades spam your condis and you will win against a burning guard

now i think about your talking about koroshe build aren’t you?

I know these build. Used it too, but atm all classes do so huge burst damage, that with no gear with +vit almost any zerker can do 100 to 0 until you finish to cast trolls urgent.

I talk about really cool guys, not bout green arrows.

ps! tryed after patch both regen build and trapper.

doesn’t take away that regen still viable if you can’t dodge burst its not the builds fault its players fault trapper btw is like mentioned very good

Yep, Good ol Koro

you can’t dodge shutter mesmer from stealth. it can do 14-18k damage in 1 sec.
So if you have less than 20k health, then there are bad news

Also trollsUrgent have 1 second cooldown and has no instant heal portion.
Healing spring has good instant healing portion, faster cast time, clean conditions, give 1 min regen and will heal you for almost 2k when you leap threw it.
After next fix it will give you stealth when you cast healing skill and SuperSpeed
But it’s only for trapper.

well your bound to face that again you can heal upfront did that once in duel thief high burst started with healing dodged the rest he was of his pace after that ended ding mistakes and killed him.

anyway i will give you the build i used for past few days feel free change it how you want

you can swap every thing around to your liking i chose eb becauuse for the simple reason 3 condis every 10 sec. wilderness for me has more purpose in other builds that i use

beastly warden doesn’t really work for me so i took zephyrs speed instead it helps to use any skill faster and activate you pet skill faster
natural healing helps your pets to sustain it self longer, swap that if you want ( i am considering it too)

as for the rest i wanted stay as close too old build as i could.
and like i said swap whatever you want. if you use rather undeadrunes takethem ^^

ahh your hp is actually higher then on the build editor btw it should be 18k
but the wvw gives you more health. yeah i just confused myself xD

I mixed and matched instead if going full apoth. Higher vitality is a lot more handy than another 100hp per sec, especially since TU is on a shorter cooldown and you can keep your opponent Perma weak.

This is what I’ve been running in WvW. http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vNAQRAnf8YnEqA9CiVsAusAUtgBKhqDgGPC8JfCu8/H28MvkdVA-TVzCABAcEAO+BAAoOgX0OMpaAcpUYTVCm4kAolyoEVCmlSmZ2fwGVdIFwiitA-w

Between bark skin, protection, perma regen, swiftness and weakness spam, it is very hard for any opponent to get you below 90% health in a 1v1 fight. If you do get low you just kite around with sword/dagger while your pet does the damage until you regen back to full health.

You have 3 skills for removing condi’s although it is still better to use your high vigor/evade uptime to avoid the condi application in the first place. You can shrug off a good deal of condi damage just through the combined regen +TU so don’t panic and blow all your cooldowns if you get a few stacks on you.

For small group roaming it is sometimes worthwhile to swap BW for zephyr’s speed. You will be spamming F2 to keep weakness on the target but that makes BW unreliable. Zephyr’s speed is a lot more reliable because you can see the timer and it comes in very handy for securing stomps or rezzing allies.

1st.

Imho better to use sword/torch axe/dagger so you can get access to Fire aura(to stack might on you and you’r pet) and you’ll have 1 weapon dodge on every weapon set.

2nd never use 2same sigils on 1 weapon set. they are not stack.

Is this in response to my post? I’m not running 2 of the same sigils on 1 weapon set. I have 2 geo sigils but they are on different sets.

As for your 1st point, that is personal preference. I can easily lay the field and swap weapons for the leap, I do it often. I like having 1 set for kiting when I need to regen in the middle of the fight without breaking combat.

soz accidentally clicked on samanosuke asakura.6240 build he’s using 3 sigils of energy

yeah i have seen it was too lazy to change it xD my mistake geo and ene on both edited
anyway interesting puck. but i got use to that build btw how much is your regen ticking ?
also gone leave this here the good old days https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NqNjAFHGiI

Ticks for about 300 a sec when TU isn’t up.

The stats can definitely be tweaked to add a bit more, I’m pretty sure my sword dagger set are both apoth for more healing while I’m kiting around.
