Guild Wars 2

So, i’ve gotten bored of ranger, the play style is “complex” (controlling a pet is second nature for me at this point because of all the pet profs i’ve played…) but my god are our utilities bland i just get so bored of it..

However, a lot of you guys rage about how ranger is terribad and blah blah blah, so i thought i’d just share the s/tPvP build i used the most since i don’t really play my ranger anymore.

This is the build (copy and paste it):

The builds entire purpose is to use your pet for your sole source of damage, the heal i normally used was Healing Spring, however Troll Unguent was also used. A lot of you are probably like “ERMERGERD!! I can’t do damage with this!” and that’s because -you- the -ranger- will not be doing the damage, your pet is, i have never been against a team where the enemy would dodge my beloved jaguar or devourers bolts over anything i did.

Why the runes? You may ask, simple, it gives you a single target entangle on a 90s CD, you close the gap with your cat, hit them, they get rooted and then pop QZ gg, they’re dead, it’s kinda stupidly powerful.

What i normally would do with the pets is run around with the devourer out, and then when i wanted to burst someone down swap to the jaguar and watch the blood flow after they got their might boost and quickness. I used the longbow more for the knock back (to throw people off points), cripple, and vuln then actual damage the build was pretty much designed around always using the sword/warhorn.

The choice of elite was because i’d rather keep them nice and still so my pet can rend them to pieces then to pop RaO and hope they didn’t kite my pet around. The utilities chosen were for the burst, by popping Sick’Em and QZ i’d be able to drop just about everything in their duration. Signet of the Hunt was used because of my role in the tPvP team as assaulting the enemy natural, and essentially just getting behind the enemy lines asap (IE kill treb, ninja NPCs, cap back points, solo the guild lord etc). When, for what ever reason, that wasn’t needed i’d use Muddy Terrain in its sted so i could have another immobilize.

PS: I swapped to an engi because they just have an all around more fun play style, is it as strong as ranger? Eh, i don’t think so, only thing as close in strength is a turret build because i’m still doing all my damage while they try to CC me, but it’s just more fun play wise.

Not going to lie, this build really turns me on!!! nice work! might switch the warhorn for the axe but other than that defiantly trying it on but I can hardly get entangle to stick on people but I’m thinking that’s because I still suck at this point must keep trying!!!

What I’ve noticed is a lot of people try to save a dodge for entangle with the rune set a lot of people think you catch them with entangle(it’s same effect just 1 person instead of all) so they tend to be a lot more generous with their dodgin making them easy to grab when you need the entangle, granted, good players will catch on in a match that it’s not the same thing, so use rapid fire or barrage (and other such moves that make people panic) so they’re nice and empty!!

Funny, lol I just was experimenting and came up with a similar spec to that a few days ago, I have been having fun with it is sPvP. QZ + Sick em is so beautiful. I use shorbow and greatsword though for the daze/interrupt and instead of 10 into marksmanship I have it into skirmishing with moment of clarity. Also I use RaO. I may have to try out your spec as well though just to compare.
