Guild Wars 2

Dear All,

At the beginning I would like to apologize for any stupid questions (I am a noob) or mistakes in spelling (English is not my 1st language)

I started my adventure with GW2 with ranger ew. I end on PvE with below build

I come up with it thinking to join WvW eventually but in PvE it turned out to be rather shabby viz. low damage out put and dying pretty quickly. Stacking damage seems not work very well.

Now I am thinking about something with more survivability and damage output.

Could you please give me any hint? Especially about strength of the spirit? Is there a point in stacking vitality i order to raise power indirectly?

From my observation beast mastery does not work very well. Pets are beaten down almost instantly by tougher mobs. In WvW AOE would kill them even faster and for this reason I resgineg from this one at all.
Spirits seems also bad idea. I would like to mean something as a stand alone fighter.

Explaining weapon choice in the second build:
Short bow seems to be more reliable in comparison to long bow due to faster auto attack.
WH for running boost and axe… Well it seems to be good for crowds.

All suggestions regarding my new build and desired play style will be appreciated.

Thank you fro your time and effort.

Copying address will open the build. Clicking – not. I do not know why. Sorry for the trouble.

ok for me i use 15/25/0/10/30 with Magi armor(dungeon) and berserker accessories. this gives me ~70% crit chance, and ~70%crit damage with frenzy, with ~21k health at level 80. I use Sword/wh and the shortbow. With 2x feline pets(they have the least survivability, but they will have very good survivability if you pay attention to them and fight along side them since A.) your sword gives them might and B.) they will get 5500+health from healing spring, 200hp/s from regeneration and then potentially another 400hp/s from regen traits/utilities not counting health on crits)

Utilities on my build: For me i use QZ+sick em for massive pet damage(even with wolves you get nice damage, and waaaaay more tank than the felines, bears idk because i find their damage to be lulsy) and the third utility is either Signet of the hunt or Signet of the wild(for extra speed/pet damage, or for the ~100+hp/s regen on me and my pet)

the problem with your build in my eyes is the bear, terrible dps and the axe/wh.

now with your build. you have 30 wilderness in both, and in the first you used QZ SS and a signet, you should have gone traps(they would give your more damage).

on your second link, in my eyes again the problems are your pets #1(moa and bears are both terrible for dps) and axe(poor dps, go sword or probably better the fail LB)

1. traits, you put in rabid or knights armor, but ignore your prec/crit damage tree and instead put 30 into power and 30 into condition damage/toughness but no precision.
   drop 10 from each tree and put it into skirm for 20/30/20, trap build for pve.

And for WVW side of all of this, i truly dont know because i use my necro. Rangers I feel are pretty useless in zergs simply due to
1.) pets will die everytime in a zerg due to aoe.
2.) with any type of damage with either a LB or a shortbow(lb again beyond barrage sucks) you will need a 20-30/30/x/x/x build which places you with very very very low survivability.
3.) traps in wvw will be poor due to the range you need to be at to throw them and make them hit)

Hello.
I am still trying new options:
This is the latest idea. Could you give me a feedback on this build?

I tried traps but it seems that on WvW trap ranger (short bow v sword & torch) would be eaten in second.
Something like this http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fMAQJAsfjEV11tVyVs2BgmiMtk9wQHf0pYUUrwKVA;TIAjCmWA
Damage is nice ofc but landing a trap takes a little bit time when distance shortening skill leaves no time for this…
