Guild Wars 2

Hey all recent hit level 80 on my Ranger, had a blast leveling him, even with the changes to the Leveling system, and have found myself to be caught between a rock and a hard place when it comes to a solid build to use in WvW.

So first off I plan to use my Ranger as a Small group / Solo roamer, I’ve never been one to run with the Zerg unless their capping something large that I can’t Ninja-cap like Stonemist, lol…

Firsts things off my Ranger is a Behemoth of a Male Norn and with that my skills are quiet televised and avoidable due to them being easily seen and countered. I have been looking into Condi Regen Builds, or Condi BM/Regen Builds, and it seems that those are what I am leaning towards, the Trap and Spirit Builds look fun too, so to you experienced Rangers out there what seems to be pretty straight forward as far as combat-combos go, and will allow me to be getting bags and not just giving people mine, lol…

Sidenote I did not make a Ranger due to the buff to RF, I had a Heroic Chest, the Medium armor looked the best to me, and seemed to be very “Ranger-esque” So no I’m not a FOTM.

Condi Bm Ranger can be Fun, Sb+Gs (zergin small group) gs for Defence or you can use GS , Axe+touch if you don’t mind the range of Aze auto.
but my fave Is Axe+dagger , Sword + touch.

axe main buffs pets like mad now vs group fights and would boost power + pet and condi damage.

this is the first time i’ve tweeked a build with the new Pet trait changes and this looks awesome Movement CC and applied good Survival with Long term/medium condi damage.

pets for CC control , Wolf fear+cripple keeps them inside Aoes but feared for max time inside damaging Aoes, Devour for Tunneling to keep Eb up and for Spray cripple+poison and a good amount of damage on a short cooldown for close Range Defence and medium range defence.

wolf , Knockdowns , Aoe CC.

tell me what you think

Prysin’s 00365 build is pretty sweet as well. I tried it (as close as I could get) in PvP and found in very powerful in solo situations. It’s a regen, might stacking, beast master. Kinda sweet. I usually run in Zerg with swords and fire build that is kinda risky in 1v1 situations, so I don’t think that is what you are looking for… But if you run with a hammer warrior or guardian, let me know…

Thank you both of you for your help, Archon I tried to Google Prysin’s 00365 Build, but sadly I got alot of unwanted info about Prisons, lol…. If you have it or I could look here on the forums if it’s here, but thanks again!

I through that together, tell me what you think.

I’ve been running full Rampager’s Runes of the Trapper build with all 3 traps and Longbow – 6/6/2/0/0, traited for traps and Longbow speed/damage. For soloing and small group I find traps super fun, and the stealth/swiftness on deploy helps my survivability too. Sword/Axe is nice as alternate in case you face another Ranger. You can surprise them by defelcting their Rapid Fire back at them. Anyway, I still die a lot to “pro” players, but placing those traps in real strategic or bottleneck locations is a lot of fun.
