I recently started a Ranger, and in Heart of the Mists I was looking through available builds for PvE (that’s what i do mainly so) I came up with this, it has really nice damage as I have tried on dummies, combat NPCS and Svanir. Anyone else has build which is a bit close to this one? Tell me is it good?

It isn’t too bad. It isn’t meta but I’ve seen far worse. I just wonder why one utility is left blank (and swap pet). Spirits Unbound is pointless, and since you’re using GS I’d suggest Two-Handed Training instead. Heal as One is terrible, Healing Spring is the only heal you’ll run in PvE ever.

Some more hard critique. You’re using GS mainly (assumption based on it being in set1), so spamming Maul is important, yet you’re missing both GS traits (other being Martial Mastery). Signet of the Wild has a 13% uptime giving roughly 3% dps increase (4% with Signet Mastery). I’m not so sure about Signet of the Beastmaster, I think for GS build 20/0/25/25/0 might work better (need to compensate for the lost precision abit).

Nah. Some encounters (i.e. not dungeons) I use TU. Just depends if I’m melee or not or if there are conditions are gonna have to be cleared.

RNG is a bell curve. Better hope you’re on the right side.

In some situations, TU is better than HS but 90% of the time, HS should be on the heal bar.
