In this kind of setup what would more beneficial?? Moment of clarity’s damage or the reduced cd + 17 and a quarter seconds of might from brutish seals?

If you can set up the interrupts then MoC would be better. However brutish seals is more reliable. MoC is burst, brutish is sustained. The choice in a build like this is purely preferential.

Brutish Seals make perfect sense if you are running Signet of the Hunt.
That way you get kind of both MoC, Signet Recharge and bonus might.

If you are not, than it’s hard to say. MoC is mostly made for the bonus stun duration. You hardly ever hit the Buffed Maul with MoC (but it’s kinda guaranteed with SotHunt).

Point taken.. although I dont use Signet of the Hunt anymore due to Traveler runes..

I think he meant signet of the wild, the one that boost your damage by 25%

Nope. That has long cooldown and has completely different effect.

Signet of the Hunt on active provides the very same buff as Moment of Clarity and does not stack. So by picking SotH you get the very same damage benefit as MoC provides, but is reliable.

Steady Focus

Seriously.

Even for WvW / PvP?
Are you sure?

Dude…
Seriously??
I’d be against dumb people who can’t make me dodge when I fight them…
or will they focus only on my pet the whole fight?

That’s a WvW build, not a PvP build (nor a PvE build for that matter).

Steady Focus on a glass Longbow Ranger WvW build? Definitely. It depends on his playstyle of course, but he should be staying at 1500 range most of the time at full endurance.

If you go to WvW for solo-roaming and duelling, then you may want to pick another trait, but then I have doubts about the rest of the build.

doubt the build if thats what you want… I based my build from this guy

In Pvp you just use marauder amulet and pretty much the same setup…
and I’ve tested and proven this build..

He’s using Marauder stats, not Berserker. He has 5600 more health than full Berserker. That makes me doubt his build much less than yours in a duel.

He’s also using it in PvP, not WvW. So him not picking Steady Focus makes complete sense. He won’t be at full endurance most of the time.

Of course any build works. I thought you were asking what the best choice was in WvW. If you only duel in WvW and take the build into PvP, don’t pick Steady Focus. Brutish Seals is fine. Moment of Clarity is fine. Whichever works for you.

If i were u id go with MoC since ur running with a GS and only one signet, the 180 passive from stone signet is nice and the o shiet moments shouldnt happen too often where u would need its cd reduction. MoC is a mixed bag since vs good players a GS may be easy to read. But if u land with MoC its a needy xtra 1,5 sec where ur safe and closer to ur lb cd. With ur build in lead the wind i would skip the GS cd reduction trait as u can and want to stay as often as possible in longbow, it often has the utility and is ur main source of dmg. Id also put sigil energy on GS since the times when u swap to it is usually when ur up close, and that xtra dodge can save a life. For serious on point 1v1 sword dagger is better than Gs, and in mid tier pvp u could go steady focus trait on a lb / sword dagger similar build. Weakness is a strong condi trait to pick in a BM line, the more non dmg condis u apply the higher chance the opponent decides to burn a multi function utility to remove em.
