Ok so the title is hyperbole but this build, pvp exclusive, is reeeally tough to restrain. The survival is in the evasion which is one of our greatest assets outside our pets. I am far from atop notch player but this setup really makes a difference in team fights and is truly strong 1v1 as well. The player maneuverability along with a pet is very difficult for any class to bring down. You have solid persistent damage and invaluable CC from your 2 canines. I haven’t struggled against a single class with this build and I am very confident that anyone can get the same success out of it as I have. Very different from the tried and true beastmaster but imho just as effective in tpvp. I hope some of you will try it out in game and let me know what you think.

At first glance it looks like a strong build. While I’m not sure I’d say this a difference maker in team fights (its strong as far as taking targets down and water field is always a plus) since there isn’t a lot of team based traits or utilities it certainly something that can hold its own.

I’m wondering why you took signet of stone?

yeah I’m gonna say its not better then BM which I think is still our best tpvp build.

with 3 choices as I see it

0/0/30/10/30
0/10/30/10/20
0/0/30/20/20

The first 2 to me are the better options.

i have try a bit aroud for old trapper.

20/20/30/0/0 works rly good atm for me. but i think trapper still need a little buff

build is

marksmanship 20 => keen edge and spotter (spotter brings me from 44% to 51%)
(why 20 marksmanship? it works fine, because much condi duration and the last trapper trait is not so important as i was think, it only affects flame trap for me)

skirmishing 20 => sharpened edge and trappers expertise

wildniss survival => old story, emphatic bond and rest how u whant play

1. weapon: shortbow with earth
2. weapon: sword/troch withc geomancy and smoldering
armor: undead (or maybe nightmare)
amu: rabit

skills: the fire, spike and poinson trap
ulti: how u whant play

i dont have try it on tourny atm, but on 1vs1 server it feels stronger than my old trapper build. (0/30/30/10/0)

and i agree DevO, our best tpvp builds are still bm, for me its a bit sad.
i dont rly like to play the bm build, also i dont like spirit builds, it dont feels like what i whant to do with ranger

Beastmaster is still our strongest build I agree, even after the reduction to pet damage. A lot of people including myself don’t enjoy the play style though and ^5 25 30 10 0
i’ve been using is really fast paced and fun to play. It allows you to harass enemy players from range and melee both.

I took stone signet just to get a little more toughness as I wasn’t in desperate need of any of our other utilities but I would say signet of hunt would work well or even protect me.
