Guild Wars 2

So I fought a dual wield ranger, he didnt use a greatsword or any range weapon. He is tough, hits hard and use trap as close combat spike. I wanna learn how to play one like that. Anyone knows the setup? He sends a wolf on me all the time so it is hard to contest a point.

I couldnt ask that ranger myself since he doesnt speak english. His guild name is a jumble of alphabets though.

So his weapons were sword/warhorn or sword/torch?

One side is axe/dagger, the other side is sword and torch I think. He is pretty darn tanky.

It can be any of these 3: a) Trapper ranger. b) Full regen ranger. c) Condi Survival ranger.

a) 2/6/6/0/0 : III, II, VIII, XI, VI, VII, XI + trapper runes
b) 0/0/6/6/2 : Empathic Bond, Nature’s call, Shout master.
c) 2/0/6/6/0 : Empathic Bond, Survival of the Fittest.

If the ranger wasn’t on stealth then you fought b or c. B is all about HP regen and the second one is all about not giving a kitten about condis.

In PvP there’s no such thing as a Rune of the Trapper. I believe that when talking about fighting on points – we are talking about Arenas. Not WvW.
In there, it would also be a mistake to take those runes (if you could) since you’ll get revealed immediately since on point fight, and also you’ll lose control of the point.

Anyways, it’s just a blind guess, but I’m 80% sure the ranger used something like this.

The SotR can be swapped for the 3rd trap anytime (even though it’s not mandatory and I feel it’s more viable this way, ranger in this build is vulnerable to condi bombing).

Wow thx for the replies, imma go try those out and see!

Yeah, I didn’t see the “contest the point” part. My bad.

In the other hand, trapper runes could be good in pvp. Pvp is not only about sitting on nodes. Moving fast and the ability to spam stealth could be really good in some cases. Of course you won’t pick trapper runes if you’re aiming to be a point holder. But in that case you shouldn’t pick ranger either (except you really want to play ranger).

Aussi: mind posting ur build out? Looks very interestng and uses sword on both sides.

• Condition Survival
• Trap Ranger

Also interested to hear what you use it for. Would you use it for ranked play or is it just a bit of fun?
