Guild Wars 2

I stopped playing my ranger a while back. I’ll preface that now since I’m looking for honest feedback. I honestly “want” to get into ranger but I do recognize that they’re fairly… well, they’re easy to kill. What I’m trying to do is find a balance between offensive and defensive.

Here’s the “Alpha” of it

Physical:

I figure with this build I’ll have close to perm. fury with Furious Grip. The Sigil of Hydromancy + Sigil of Ice + Chilling Slash should keep my target pretty locked down in terms of mobility. The build should have enough base power and crit damage to put out decent numbers.

Conditional:
I don’t have too much conditional damage here, but I went around a bit to at least put out average numbers. I mostly based more on conditional duration to try and force them to pop cleansing early. As I said with Sigil of Hydromancy + Sigil of Ice, I’m hoping to keep the target locked down and, if possible, keep their key skills a bit higher up on cooldowns.

Defensive:
Empathetic Bond and Signet of Renewal should take care of my condition cleansing, well, as much as I can spare. Hornet Sting/Serpant’s Strike/Stalker’s Strike/Quick Shot/Lightning Reflexes should give me more than enough mobility and built in dodges, but just in case I placed Vigorous Renewal. Oakheart Salve is in there just for the extra healing. Honestly it can probably be swapped out for something more useful.

I’m fairly sure you all can figure out this is a fairly aggressive build so the playstyle is fairly obvious. As I said before: Any feedback/suggestions you can give would be useful.
