Guild Wars 2

Good evening folks.

I Am looking for a pvp ranger build that is best at only surviving 1v1.
It doesnt have to do much damage itself, and it doesnt have to be an efficient bunker/point holder or efficient in 5v5 at all.
Just show me something that just absolutely cant die, or at least what comes as close as possible with the ranger class to that.

Very interested in what you experienced master rangers come up with!

Hmmz, this sounds a bit like the good old Spirit Ranger build?
Lots of thoughness, so can take some hits
Lots of condition damage, so you’ll bleed/poison/burn your opponent to death
Lots of vitality, so you can take even more hits

However, bear in mind: Every specific build has an excellent counter build! No such thing as a “one build rules them all”

Pets should hit hard, lots of poison pressure, a completely unnecessary amount of healing power and regeneration, use Spirit Of Nature like a healing turret and for condition bombers, swap weapons regularly to keep poison on your targets, don’t forget to use pet F2’s and use Troll Unguent at roughly 70% health. Runes will apply regen on top of the heal over time granted by Unguent which will make it almost twice as potent.

This build should do pretty much 0 damage but your pet will hit relatively hard and you should be able to annoy people with poison pressure. Play it properly and 1v1 you should never lose if people are stupid enough to continue fighting you.

try this… little to no damage/pressure, but it’s exactly what you want
You can take healing spring aswell. Choose the pets you want. Also you can replace either SoS or SoR with SotW/LR.

Many Thanks, these look interesting, especially the version of SpellOfIniquity!

They should do the job very fine

For the record, you can take slightly different runes/amulets with similar builds to those posted and make a condi ranger that can contribute to a PvP match and still be nigh unkillable. The Nature’s Voice apothecary ranger (not available in PvP) has been a build concept since pretty much game release. Does mediocre damage and is off the charts durable. The original build uses Shirk’s trait allocation with s/t + a/d.
