Guild Wars 2

This is what I’ve been doing lately to jazz up my ranger play while leveling.

1h Sword/Axe – Shortbow or GS, whichever you find to be a better 2ndary set. I rarely swap.

Healing Spring
Flame Trap
QZ
SoW or SoS
Entangle

Warthog (main) + Murrelow

Use flame trap early, your hog will charge in (leap) for a combo finisher fire aura. Whirling Def works great with Flame Trap too. Since you’re both melee, use your hog’s F2 (forage) skill. You’ll get a lot of sweet items that create combo fields. Remember, sword #2 is a leap finisher, axe #4 is a projectile, and axe #5 is a whirl finisher. These + Flame Trap, Healing Spring, Warthog’s foraged items, and Murrelow’s F2 poison field make group melee fighting a blast.

I took on endless respawning Ettins in a confined area using pet swap & QZ quickness to burn single targets when my combos were on CD.

Very snazy man, I’m loving the diversity and those different synergistic combos this great class can perform.
