I’m sorry, Dave. I’m afraid I can’t do that.
LB+A/WH ranger dungeon viable?
it’ll need testing , if it fits into a Lb+S/W or S/A build, but it’ll still only be used for Rapid fire>barrage>qQ / Swap Sword autos . possible for opening attacks at the very start of attack, then moving onto sword afterwards.
and it’ll need Onslaught trait for sure thats a 10% damage buff overall just preping the boss/mob+boss with cripple before cleaving for a higher cripple uptime.
and i wouldn’t use Lb focused traits as it’ll still be a Secondary weapon.
not sure what will happen so far with frost spirit being broken though :/
Viable like anything else. Helpful and close to optimal? Nope.
If you’re on EU and need help to get into dungeons, pm me.

Especially with Frost spirit still useless.
Axe mainhand won’t be very good.

with 3 in nature magic the axe becomes 100x better then it used to be. With only 3 in nature magic and no other runes(IE strength) pet gets 25 stacks of might and holds it with ease. With runes of strength 25 stacks of might is attainable with just axe auto hitting multiple targets. Axe is probably the best thing for dealing with trash in dungeons/fractals for rangers now. With 25 stacks of might it most definitely out damages a sword or greatsword at least hitting multiple targets. a/wh s/a is my favorite combo now.

If you have a decent ele in your party you should be having that kind of might anyway and using sword or GS for trash.

Yes, with ele + guard you could probably get 25 stacks, but using that logic RaO is no better than trash. You are probably right in an optimal party axe would not out class gs or sword, but that’s why you bring a sword as well. I don’t see much point to carry a sword and a gs since in an optimal party sword always outclasses gs, so it pretty much boils down to axe mainhand or the new LB. There are certainly perks to both, but I find the axe more appealing.
