Frontline Ranger Build WvW ?(Commander build)
I think that axe warhorn is not a good combo because it only deals for up to 3 targets, Greatsword is better for frontline.
Gs even hits only 3 targets Oo
But gs is rly the best choise cause of the evade !

GS block is really underrated too, unless your counter-attack goes off you have 4 sec of virtual immunity.

What this guy is saying ^^^^^
As long as you don’t get hit in melee it’s a full block when aoe is raining down all around you. For a ranger commander you’d probably NEED this, because the only other way I can see staying alive in situations like that involves too much mobility for your train to follow you properly.

For a commander I would definitely take a GS. Axe is ranged which is not where you want the commander to be attacking from. Plus you’re going to want to be 100% tank, and GS will help with that.
The only other melee weapon we have is definitely not appropriate for a commander. The 1h sword bounces you all over the place, and there is no way a zerg could stay on you.

Yeah but with axe you can switch targets as easily as you can with a greatsword, plus you’re more likely to get followed as a commander while wearing one. Slingblade posted a vid on sword axe, which i really like, but it doesn’t look as cool if you’re commanding. Maybe axe-axe is more appealing in style.
I use axe/horn to allow for some range and blasts on my waterfield. Sword/dagger is mobility and damage. Signets are more than enough to stay alive, when used effectively.
At the most, I’ll drop the sword/dagger for GS in some situations, but generally I prefer the 2 sigils and evades. May change with the double sigils in 2h weapons update.
Now if only they fixed the pet F2 skill, I’d be happier. I used to be able to use it when I needed, now it seems to not cast more than 1/2 the time.

I run as a commander with Axe/warhorn – shortbow. I play a regen tank, and rarely go down. Mostly apothecary as a dead commander is no good to the map. It works well for my play style and for roaming. I like the blast finisher fury, might and the speed boost on the warhorn and with sup altruism my troll unguent can add a bit more might for the group. Not much but whatcha going to do with this class right? I suppose my field commanding is my strongest strength.

I think mistsim himself may already change his mind to not to use a ranger as a front-line, never say commander.
As a ranger, go enjoy the brainless easy mode for PVE , have fun in spvp and challenge yourself in some roaming in WvW, that’s all about it.
If you want to command, PLEASE —- roll another class, good to yourself, also good to your server.
