Hi all, after the update with the pet nerf and the minor lb improvements I figured I would just show people this build if interested. No, it is not “practical” in many senses but it is really fun to melt people with the damage we can do. Ranger cannot hit as hard as a thief or a warrior, but we can still dish out some solid damage.

Weapons: Beserker LB (Bloodlust, I also have another bow with sigil of fire), Beserker GS(sigil of fire)

Armor/Trinkets: Beserker

Rune: Rune of Scholar

Traits: 30 (I,X,XI) 30 (I,X,XII) 0 10 (V) 0

Skills: Healing Spring, SoW, QZ, SoS, RaO

Pets: Duel Dogs (immob/fear, two knockdowns, cripple)

I use this build in wvw, I really enjoy it. Does great against thieves 1v1 (signet of stone does wonders, can down a thief with a rapid fire burst and the rapid fire follows the in stealth), as well as being amazing in zergs and in tower defending and camp capturing (send pet in, pop RaO and SoW use barrage, swap pet once their health is low). Of course it has nowhere near the survivability of other builds, don’t expect to 1vX groups since this build does not work for that. SoS with 6 seconds of no damage is really what makes the build viable in the first place. This is pretty much a one trick pony build I understand, but for some of you who are wanting some real power coming from your ranger and not your pet this may be what you are looking for. Using the LB #3,4,2 combo you can down any thief easily, and put a serious dent in any other class as well. Hope this helps anyone!

Interesting build…Amazing attack damage with good critical chance…I’d like to give it a try. Have you tried it in pve dungeon and if so how does it fare?

I’ve tried it in AC dungeon only, does fine, then again it is AC which is extremely easy for a dungeon… tried CM too, was alright, the issue is when you start getting hit and you don’t have SoS done with cool down then you are going down unless you get away from the combat. I would probably switch dogs for bears in pve, let the bears take the damage while you attack from far away

30 30 10 0 0 will give you more dps (decreasing cooldown on QZ) and way more survivability (+50% endurance regeneration is just way too good for any ranger to pass up).
