Nostarion’s Ranger build!
I’ve been trying out a celestial type of ranger build lately, and after this patch some improvements has been made on it, making it rather effective -and- fun to play!
Disclaimer
I’m not going to go into great detail about everything regarding the build since it would be too time consuming… You as a ranger player will need to have some basic/advanced knowledge about the class. But if you have questions…ask away!
Main points of build:
Lots of Evades.
Balance between condition and power damage.
Stacking Might!
Using both Power and Condition Damage to whittle away the enemy!
Buffing up your pet with might!
The traits are as follows:
0-0-30-30-10
Wilderness Survival:
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
VI
Since you rely on survival skills to remove condis mostly, this is a must.
VII
You can play with this one, or you can choose III whatever floats your boat. Both works.
XIII
50 % more posion dmg and posion on pet attack when swapped? Yush plz!
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Nature Magic:
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
VI
More protection is always nice, thought both V and III can be used to. Really not much to choose from here!
VIII
Blind and posion removal? Totally awesume!
XIII
This one is amazing pretty much. I have to thank ranger Niah that gave me the idea to try it out!

Beastmastery:

VI
Might…we need moar might!

Armor, Trinkets and Weapons:
Celestial on everything. thought if you so wish to focus on either Power or Condition you can swap out the Trinkets to your liking!
Runes:
This also depends on your prefrences but either one of these will work perfectly.
Rune Of Strength
Rune Of Aristocracy
Rune Of The Privateer
Weapons:
Axe/Dagger
The axe is nice for a burst of bleeding damage, aswell as chilling and weaking the enemy! And by using an axe a dagger is a must in order to have an evade! And more conditions damage aswell as damage.
Sword/Torch
Nice pressure damage from the sword and evades. And the torch burning is awesume for more condition pressure together with your power damage!
Sigils:
These sigils are key to the build. Or well atleast the Sigil Of Battle, the sigil of energy is optional….but moar dodges? Yush please!
Sigil Of Battle
Sigil Of Energy
Healing:
Either Troll Unguent or Healing Spring.
Utility:
Muddy Terrain:
Catch those enemies before you throw a pesky Splitblade at them! And remove conditions and gain Fury! With only 20 seconds recharge!
Lightning Reflexs:
Moar evade? Yush please! Stun breaker, condition removal, fury, vigor. What more can a one ask from a skill?
Signet Of Renewal:
Conditions removal and stun break. To gut to give up.
Elite:
Any one of three works with this build basiclly… So choose according to the situation!
What pet you choose is pretty optional… And up to the player himself! But birds do hit…quite alot.
Edited: Added a rune, and some more things the build is about …
