DPS ranger is best build for WVW
Best build? Looks like a typical glass ranger, you have 1 stun break that is also your only condition removal, and it has a 60 second cool down. You would die if a strong breeze hits you. Bump up that toughness and add some runes to your armor.

Yeah that toughness and vitality leave a lot of openings for defeat, you’d have to be zerg surfing to stay alive, and even then condition damage would eat you alive. Now the good stuff? that damage must feel awesome.

This kind of build is why people salivate when they see a ranger.
Yea this build will hit really freakin hard, but I do more dps alive than dead.

Survivability aside. Your stats aren’t optimized. Pre-ferocity, you only needed like 2 pieces of assassins for highest DPS, now its probably just pure zerker (and power+crit food). I would also ditch the toughness for strength of spirit coz hey, why not? You’re glass cannon and those traits and toughness won’t save you.
Anyways, I’ve been running 30/30/0/10/0 signet-zerker ranger in WvW lately. I know its not really a viable build, but what the hell, I enjoy seeing big numbers once in a while. If you’ve got a norn, bearform can save you. Even with full zerker gear, you get an insane amount of armor and health in bearform. The #5 skill is a charge that is around 3000-4000 range (tooltip is wrong). This charge skill can help you escape, or 1-shot med-light armored classes pretty reliably. It usually hits for around 11-18k lvl 80s, but I’ve gotten 32k on a thief before
i use a 6/0/6/0/2 build in WvW
With signet of the beast master and the signets it works wonders
You really want to try Read the Wind + Eagle Eye if you haven’t already. I suppose you could prefer Piercing Arrows, but you should at least have tried it.
DPS wise; poorly optimized
Sustain wise; non-existent
Total judgement; It’s a build, only possible to play in PvE.
