Guild Wars 2

Hey what’s up?
I’d just like to know what you think about this build I made:

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fMAQNBHhNakoqqurysC0SQsUkn93F8PEL3jShqTdxdnMB-jAyAo8ASGCIlAKnXEN2iYR0YV6ER16FMPeR0qBA-e

I have no experience with ranngers, I just leveled one to 80 and I’m thinking about the build. I love spirits, theur buffs are pretty OP imo.
Feel free to destroy my build if it’s not good as I think.

You havent chosen your amulet so its a little difficult to say exactly what you’re going for but regardless, it looks like a very supportive build. Since you havent traited into WS your condition damage is going to suffer somewhat and your only real damage source is the pet which isnt maxed out either, and doesnt have traits from Skirmishing to assist it either.

Doesnt look bad, most builds like spirits can work well because you’re inevitably tanky with great team support, but that seems to be all you have going for you atm.

I edited the link with the amulet I forgot.
The idea of this build was to support my team with spirits, some boons I can give and 5x might which my cougar can grant. Eventually I wanted to keep the enemies crippled, chilled and vulnerable with my weapon skills and the 20% condition duration I got.

Maybe I could lower my beastmaster traits in order to add some points in other traits. Do you have any clues?

Honestly I am not a spirit expert. I’ve played them a little but I dont know the current popular builds.

I dont like your choice of amulet though. I understand you want to be a support player but none the less you will be expected to do some damage and I dont see that happening right now.

Personally I’d move your MS traits to WS, and swap the soldiers rune for Shamens.

This will give you some pretty good condition damage, a lot more armour, some good healing and you can trait your HS to give AoE vigor and increase your torches effectiveness for area denial.

You’ll lose some health, and lose spotter which I am guessing you wanted, but I think its worth it.

EDIT: Actually I jsut noticed you were using a WH, not a torch, my bad. Hmm I am not sure really how well this is going to work out.. You’re going 110% into team support and nothing else.. I’ll let one of the more experienced sPvP players help you

Thanks for the reply, infact I forgot to mention that I only play PvE and Dungeons, and I want to use warhorn cause of its beautiful skill vision effect

OP

Let me get this right, you Stated and Confirmed that you have 0zero Experience with Rangers yet you made a Spirit Build and call it OP?

As a Future Encouragement, Just because you made a build and it ’works Wonders" for you, calling it OP is Pre-Mature.

Though I will give you Credit for liking your build but again as a Future reminder, keep the word “OP” ’to the Eyes of the Beholder".

By the way,

Good Build

You have Vigorous Training selected with no pet that benefits from that trait selection. If I may make a suggestion, depending on whether or not that trait choice is a fluke or if you meant to have moas/birds selected, if you didn’t, you can always drop 5 point in Beastmastery and pick them up in Wilderness Survival.

More dodges never hurts.

First off you made your build in spvp section on the site vs pve…. so i can’t see what armor you want.

Hm… you didn’t choose/show your 2nd pet…but since your using number10 in BM i want to say your going to use a Red Moa that is good.

You might also want to look at Dwayna 6set with a change in in Nature Magic of 5 -> 3.

In Marks you might want to look at number 6/3 i find that might help more then a cripple in x situation but /shrug slot in as needed here.

With all this please take into account even with the HP increase Spirits are still very vulnerable to AoE in pve more so in boss fights. With that you might want a axe with a sup water rune (30% on crit to aoe heal).

Yes I have 0 experience in rangers, but I have 3 characters at the 80 and general experience since day 1; I’m not saying I’m an expert at this game, but since I always used to play supportive professions, I saw that spirits buff are kitten good. I’m not saying they are OP, I use that word just to state that “It’s ultraperformant, I like it”.
I didn’t want to say it’s overpowered, that’s my bad.
Anyway, thanks for your comment

Yes, as supportive character, I wanted to give my team more buff I could. I knew that Moas were supportive, I took that trait to improve his buff.

I was lazy and I had no time to choose my pve armor, so I wanted some advices only about traits, but yes, the armor is important as well so I’m editing the link just now, considering your advices.
I saw the spirits are vulnerable against AOE, and I really didn’t thinka bout water sigil; I totally agree with you, that will help.

Carrion and shaman are two popular stat choices for spirit builds, obviously nature’s magic—you can go full beastmastery with shaman or full wilderness survival with carrion. I hope that helps.

didn’t read anything, but i’d suggest x/x/30/30/x just my 2 cents
