Guild Wars 2

Can someone tell me which build is this some rangers are playing, they can tank up to 2 people hitting them their natural heal regen just keeps them alive, and they destroy your face as well with a few arrows and pet. Seriously, a thief and an ele hitting on 1 ranger and his health regen was higher than damage taken.

…….we have Op Damage?

WHY WAS I NOT TOLD!!!!

just kidding….
I have no Idea what your on about.

and here is the reason why rangers QQ all day because they don’t even bother to find out builds, instead they go on forums to cry about how bad their class is.

Hmmm… Nope, don’t see any “OP Ranger build of godliness” in the search function. Weird.

However when I removed the word ranger I found a ton of videos of thieves, d/d eles and mesmers pulling off 1v5+ people with 4+ stomps though.

The class has severe problems the complaints have been acknowledged as legitimate complaints by Anet themselves. People have not been complaining because they can’t figure out a build its because the core fundementals were broken with the profession…. IE people strafing arrows and taking no damage, pets not being consistant dps when they are supposed to be nearly half your dps output.

That being said stop being kitten about it.

Back on topic…. rangers have always had good regen if you traited for it…. but now since the patch on the 14th their dps is now higher and we can lay down some hurt.

What you are probably seeing is rangers traited in healing spring regen, health regen traited, and health regen signet. And they are probably heavily traited into the toughness tree/healing tree and BM.

Now before this update alot of rangers didn’t really go this route because well due to profession issues as I stated above you hit like a wet noodle and the chances of you killing someone without being traited into a full offensive tree was slim. Especially if your opponent is aware to just keep moving dodging your pet and strafing your arrows at range. This has changed a bit the last patch, you cant really dodge the arrows like before and the pet is on your kitten especially with the 25% speed buff.

TLDR: Rangers now have a bit more versitality as they can rely on their pets actually doing something to someone moving, and our arrows cant just be side stepped now…. allowing for more defensive builds around healing/toughness.

PS: they probably used invuln…. where the pet takes all the damage for them for several seconds. Which is more then enough time to turn the tide of a fight even 2v1 or more.

Last night i remember i met a thief and an ele on a flag in temple of the silent storm. I downed the thief but u know their downed state is so broken i couldn’t finish him fast, so i had to kill the ele before. Was fun.
Oh anyway is not only the regen is mainly protection buff mixed with lots of dodges and high toughness. Invuln is not worth it we have better options and healing spring is not that good in hot join pvp. Even the improved soth is not a must hunter’s shot and call of the wild are enough to grant your pet the speed he needs.
I understand most rangers don’t like a spec like this and ye i wish we had valid ranged dps specs.

I can take on two or three people at a time for a few minutes IF they are just average pvpers. With more than two it usually ends in my defeat but I can take two at a time (again, if they are average pvpers) and almost anyone 1v1 – except thieves of course. To much stealth for my pet to work effectively.

This was at battle of kyhlo and he didnt go below 90% after some heavy burst we ended up running away like a bunch of pussies.

If you ask me, a little bit OP, any class can go on heal/bunker mode but they do healable damage, but this ranger was doing as much damage as a glass cannon thief.

lol either your burst isn’t heavy at all or that ranger was using invulnerability. The build still takes damage.

Sounds like he used his protect me ability to go invulnerable for 6 second and you guys blew your wad then freaked out…

We Actually pose more of a threat now so…

More ranger QQ in T-Minus….

This. I suppose he was using invul then.

You can run some fairly tanky builds in SPvP and the damage is far less in there as well, so it’s more manageable…

Open World against 2 fairly good players I can still be killed very quickly if I screw up…

Your build isn’t really a ranger build. It is more of an Asura build. Hardly applies to rangers as a class.

Mmm is quite a good build actually plus in the last video i’ve seen he was not using pi all the time.

I may have an idea about the build being used, and if it’s what I think, I applaud the ranger who roflstomped you.

Perhaps you could post a video of such a build kicking kitten No offense but when I hear such claims about the ranger I am usually rather skeptical..

It sounds like the Ranger Trap/Bunker build some of my friends have been seeing in SPvP but I am unsure of make up

this is my build. tanks like a champ, stacks bleeds like no other prof. tons of damage. tons of endurance regen for near-perma dodging and protection. tons of regen. no downsides really. way better than any trap build. not trying to brag, but i melt d/d eles and muddy terrain basically nullifies mediocre thieves; good ones will still be a challenge, but always doable. enjoy =)

you can put 30 into BM if you want even more regen, but i just love the damage. if you melt them fast enough, you wont have to bunker as much

another boss build is BM power ranger with signets. and ive been hearing whispers of a good condition/spirit build. now that pets are kinda of working, there are a dozen interesting builds.

signet of hunt is a must imo, because it just give you so much survivability, and makes pet almost perfect. my cat soloed two scrubs today because they couldnt shake her with 25% speed boost.

Since the game went live we all knew about this build, it has 9xx or more healing and 22xx Toughness with 16k HP, its a bunker that pretty much negates conditions and has average damage from the ranger and high damage from the pet.

Sometimes its melee based and other times it may use a Shortbow but almost always has a 1h Sword -so DoT based.

the build i posted has marginally less toughness (2100) and healing (850), and but boasts 3k more HP and does huge condition damage.

i don’t use protect me but stone singed which is traited and the active effect works for both ranger and the pet which is 6 seconds of nice 0 dmg
it allows me to heal up if neede and to down enemy players combined with some dodges and if needed Block/swoop for distance using GS etc…
1v2 is hard but possible to win it depends on how good enemy players are and if they are soft targets (no armor/hp) and so on

@nerva

You have the choice of getting the 30 Point Trait in BM which gives you and your pet passive regen and boosts your pet damage instead of a trait that triggers when you take 20% of you HP in damage, why?
