Guild Wars 2

I have a regen ranger to solo bosses and such:
ok so im rolling
0
0
10
30
30

my healing power is 550 and my armor is PPC. I want my ranger to do damage over time with conditons and such but be able to solo PVE type enemies like in fractals or dungeons.

What sort of trinkets should i go for? Vitality for extra health? More Healing power? More power for more damage?

and should I not being running precision at all?

I went with Exotic Rampager when I first rolled my main, a Ranger, and thought it was awesome, doing DoT. Then I tried Zerk and salvged the (expensive at the time) exotic PPC immediately. After learning to play with the zerker, I would never go back to conditions for PvE.

It sounds like the build you are using is a good one for WvW roaming, but its extremely slow to kill anything. I don’t want to be all “Zerk is the only way to go” etc, but pure damage output is vastly better than conditions for PvE and always will be, unless they drastically change how conditions work and the damage output from them.

Also, that healing power is pretty low for a regen build, remember that 12.5% of the healing power is added to regen, so that’s only a 68hp/s increase over 0 healing, imo, you want at least 1000 healing for a regen build, so I use Apothecary for regen/condi. You may be better off learning to play without the healing power, then you can put 550 points into more damage.

Input all your gear to the editor at GW2 Build Editor and then post the link here and then we can give you more of an idea of what to get for your desired playstyle.

For dungeons a Regen build will not benefit you as a ranger, it may be fun but you’re doing it wrong. First let me suggest that you go with your favourite power-toughness build in dungeons as your contribution will be higher. Cavalier focusing on power damage is pretty neat and beefy enough that you won’t die easily.

Now going back to the regen build, generally speaking the trait distribution goes like this:
0/0/30/30/10 with full apothecary gear, for maximum condition damage, healing power and toughness. The build’s efficiency is maximized in WvW roaming play, but whatever you can go anywhere with it, its pretty solid.

What you’re doing wrong is mixing the regen build with beast master build, which is interesting but it won’t do you good in dungeon runs as much as a power build would.

I personally run conditions in dungeons, but I have also noticed that it’s more necessary to do power based damage since it’s the #1 deciding factor for a quicker victory in dungeon runs. There will be boss fights where having condition damage will give you the edge over power damage (and save your life too), but that is still not the majority of the cases, so you will eventually want to invest time in preparing a power based build that suits you (anyone cheering for today’s new build YES life just got easier).

If you still like condition damage you might want to go for trapper, its very useful in dungeon runs and it gives the most all rounded performance, but beware of condition damage!
