Guild Wars 2

Hi guys

I recently became a lvl80 ranger. I use this build http://www.noxxic.com/gw2/ranger/pve-builds/damage-build which uses shortbow.

I had around 25g when lvl80 ranger so i was able to buy exotic sets. This is where i guess i screwed up. I think i bought the wrong gear. I was so eager to get my exotics that i bought too fast. My guildies said I need cond.damage with this kind of build, whereas i bought jewelry and bow with crit.damage(my armor is cond.damage).

In these pics I’ll show you my armor and stats:

Jewelry: Beryl orihalcum set

I would try to change the weapons first to rampager ones, and see how it does (if you have the money for it). Maybe some guildies can help you out by crafting one if you have the mats. Not that hard to get the mats for 3 weapons.

Not sure about the build though, it doesn’t seem to suggest gear, and not that fleshed out to be honest. This build will also leave you with little to no defensive options. Do you look for a build to run dungeons? The build says its a pve build for lvl80, not sure what its purpose is. I would also put 5 points into beast mastery and put the other 5 into skirmishing for more damage, or wilderness survival for the protection. Zero condition removal is frightening to look at, for me at least.

That build is very dependent upon bleeding from sharpening stones so in groups/events you might find that the 25 bleed limit really is limiting. A healing spring is typically a better heal in group content too.

For the equipment, you don’t seem to have the right mix and there’s not much point having high crit damage, high condition damage, conditions applied on crits, and lowish crit chance. Getting fury from the horn doesn’t really fix that. I don’t see that another build suiting those stats better so although you can do okish in PvE with those stats I’m guessing you’ll need some changes sooner or later.

Okay Thanks for the advice guys.

@Stooperdale What should you suggest then? Changing bow to rampager, and what kind of jewelry?
