Guild Wars 2

Hey there,

Am leveling up my ranger and am wondering sorta build would be a good beginning for PvE solo in HoT maps/ a little WvW here and there? (20 levels to go til 80 and am spamming map completion)

My playstyle is rather aggressive and up in the face – though, am not great with my dodging

I prefer higher sustain to keep the attack

My thoughts are that of druid to help with self sustain + pet healing for additional dps + beast mastery to improve pet survival and dps

What else could I go where in I and my pet have decent shared damage and sustain?

Thank you for reading,

-Phyrak

Try something along those lines. I run something similar and I never have issues running around solo in HoT maps.

Very much appreciated

The quickdraw is used with bonfire. I will sometimes run this with a warhorn to use Call of the Wild for more boons, and if switched to right after using Bonfire, the blast finisher gives me an additional 3 might. CA #4 with GotL trait adds to dps, or you can use Ancient Seeds with anything that procs it for more Condi. If you feel too squishy I recommend Celestial trinkets (especially if you haven’t done the achievements to unlock the Sinister ascended trinkets) and that will boost your heals too. Heal skill is interchangeable depending on situation, and if your target is stationary, Sun Spirit is probably a better choice over Spike trap.

Interesting mix

And of raw power?

I’ve seen a few builds rocking around in maguuma with raw power

How do they fair?

I know some people use power builds, but I got out of the practice a while ago. I tend to favor hybrid builds just because condi doesn’t have to contend with a vet/champ/etc’s toughness, so my damage tends to be more consistent. I’m sure others on here can give advice for power builds.

I use this power build, it works well for me, especially for breakbars.

Looks like you can push some decent dps
