This is the Build I have been testing lately

I use cats as my pet btw

This build works extremely well 1v1 altho fights are long and drawn out as you dont have much damage

You mainly rely on your pet with this

Great for holding points in TPvP also ok for spvp

Thought I would share this build as alot of rangers either go full berserker or trapper
also you dont see many builds on here..

Not much damage, indeed, and no condition removal save for Healing Spring (long cooldown).

I would recommended Emphatic Bond if you’re that deep in the WS tree.

I know conditions are my weakness here but you could swap signet of the wild for signet of renewal but i pref the hp regen

Emphatic bond it good if the pets live if you swap them you lose the bond
plus with this build swapping pets gives quickness

The problem with this build is when your pet dies…then your a sitting a duck. And I can always tell when a ranger is BM built with survivability. First kill the pet then the ranger.

If you’re only up against like 5 foes, with a good chance of being downed, why not change that plus 10 healing on kill sigil for a condition purge chance sigil if you’re not going with Signet of Renewal for condition removal+stun break? I prefer the regen signet myself but I also keep a stun break of some kind on my bar, even if it doesn’t break immobilize, it will at least let you hit shortbow #3.

when my pet dies im a sitting duck LOL..

if and when he dies i just swap if that one dies then i may of lost a lil damage but by no means am i sitting duck

with this build ive 2v1 so many times against bunker guardians too

Bark Skin: 30% less damage when under 25% hp
oakheart slave: gain regen when for 5s when suffering from bleed, poison or burning
natures protection: receive 5s protection when taking 20% damage in one hit

with these 3 traits + high toughness and protection on dodge roll all mean its very hard to kill I bet if you killed both pets as fast possible i’d still be alive after CD to just bring it back

If you’re only up against like 5 foes, with a good chance of being downed, why not change that plus 10 healing on kill sigil for a condition purge chance sigil if you’re not going with Signet of Renewal for condition removal+stun break?

thanks for the advice will look into the the condition purge chance sigil

Actually my whole post was more in question form, I’ve been using one of them on my bow for only a short while and am not even sure how reliable their chance to trigger is.

I think you just described the strategy used against Rangers regardless of build.

OP could you please post your trait points here? For some reason I can’t see the traits in the build calculator you used. For example just something like Marks 0/ Skirm 0, WS 30/ NM 20/ BM 15 would be great.

Personally speaking I would swap out one or both of your cats for wolves. Not as much damage, but their howls usually are pretty amazing, and every canine has a knockdown that they usually use right when the come out and are under quickness. Granted there is a 45 sec CD on it, but it still helps a great deal.

Looks good as a starting point.

1) Sword: By far our best weapon, use it with or without auto attack! Its damage and burst are unmatched and when used with Torch off hand you drop your own fire field, jump back and back in for a combo finisher!

2) Torch or Dagger off hand: Play with both and you decide!

3) QZ: Why? LR is of far greater value, your build of choice is an evasion healinbg condition build.

4) Sick’EM: Try it out and try another DoT -condition- utility out and figure out which is more bang for your buck.

5) Signet of Wild: Great choice! Your build is built on HEALING!

This is my revised Build I changed a few things around..

runes of the dolyak much better choice for this build
natures bounty +33% regen cant believe I missed that
swapped pet + 10% skills for 3 stacks of might on pet swap
swapped axe/horn for sword/torch
but another topic i wanted to bring up is healing spring and the water combo field and using sword to benefit from this

When your healing spring is down make sure to use sword skills #2 and #3 using these while in the spring will give bonus healing..

@cempa ty for the suggestions only thing i cant see to live without is QZ + Sick’EM this is a big part of my burst ability that and not giving up Signet of the wild up is the only reason i dont take LR otherwise i would love a oh crap button
