Guild Wars 2

As the topic says.

I am in the middle of re-working my ranger build and wondering where to spend my last 5 trait points

either 5 in skirmishing to get furious grip
or
5 in nature magic for spirit unbound

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance!

I would like to unbind my spirit(s), but I can’t get myself to give up Marks 30 for it. I’m currently running a variation of the 30/25/0/15/0 meta build, and I have to have my Piercing Arrows for open world and Remorseless for dungeons.

IMO Spirits Unbound is nice to have, but I could do without it as long as I don’t position my spirit(s) somewhere stupid/suicidal. Also, it’s nice to be able to use Nature’s Renewal remotely, i.e. drop Spirit of Nature near downed players and/or NPCs and activate NR while moving/drawing fire.

For pve just replace the frost spirit skill after combat ends with something with a short cd like guard then swap back to frost spirit once the cd is done. Doing this resets the spirit and it should be up when you need it again.

I kind of feel like the trait has a limited niche; I feel like the spirits die a lot easier if you have them unbound so whenever you don’t need to move around larger distances a lot it actually feels like weakening my spirits,whereas you can place them somewhere safe without.
