Guild Wars 2

Hello everyone,
I’m liking a lot Ranger, but can’t find an efficent dps build for Gs, Sword-axe.
Anyone could give me some suggestion?

What race are you?

A very sexy human male with silver hair. lol

Dungeons, PvE, PvP, WvW?

Oh sorry, forgot to write that.
For dungeons mostly.

30/30/0/10/0. Zerker, Jaguar, Frost spirit (10 trait in NM for that spirit), Spotter trait (20 in marksmanship. Rest is up to you for DPS traits. For the most part stay in s/a, if the boss does projectiles reflect with axe 5, if you are feeling unsafe use that auto attack on GS or block (the auto attack is a 50% up time on evades). For other utilities I recommend, Quickening zephyr and sic em for max dps.

And for those wondering lol, I asked about race because there is some really strong racial DPS ranger combos you can do in WvW.

Ok, thank you. And what with runes? Power-crit, power-precision or crit-precision?

And I know, I was just joking, even if he’s sexy for real :P
The race you mean are Charr?

Ruby orbs until you can afford scholar.

I meant asura, norn, sylvari

sylvari = perma immob.
asura = stun lock
norn = occasional one shot.
human = best survivability against condi
For WvW full zerker specs anyway.

I’d simplify that to 20/25/0/15/0 and put the remaining 10 points where you like.

• 20 Marksmanship gives you access to Spotter.
• 25 Skirmishing gives you 10% extra damage when flanking.
• 15 Nature Magic gives your pet every boon that you get, helping it stay alive and dish out more damage. The 10 Skirmishing traits are mostly trash, so might as well pick companion’s might and give might to your pet.

10 NM swap between vigorous spirits if your fights are in one spot, strength of spirit (5% of vit becomes power) if you’re solo or mobile.

s/a for swarms of mobs or projectile mobs. But in general s/h for group fury. Swap to GS if you’re fighting somewhere you don’t want to accidentally jump off, or need to withraw or block for 4 sec to survive until your heal comes off cooldown.

Note that 25 WS gives 10% bonus damage if you’re above 90% hp, same as scholar runes for 20% bonus total. So that might be something to consider if you can keep your hp above 90%. The rest of the traitline is defensive though (except for the reduced weapon cooldowns).
