Guild Wars 2

Hello guys,

it is just an idea and I’m looking for feedback: build

You have perma swiftness good condition damage and high regeneration for you and your team. You could swap celestial for settler for more condi heal thoughness. Need some advice for sigils and runes. But what do you think could it be viable? Also thinking about to equip a shortbow.

Cheers,
Nepomuk

Well, if u’r going with with the “shout” theme, you might want to take soldair rune and rabid amulet. stick with axe-dagger / sword-torch(in that set up). You can also change EB to poison master with 2 birds(with soldair u have enough condi removal). Also changed HS to TU(u had like 200% regen uptime potential, no need for that) Natural protaction to evasive purifay(3k armor u dont need np, another condi removal is much better). Also took expertise trainig, its not that good but the 90sec on the stun removal just make it a better choise.

I would disagree with Lugh on taking soldiers runes, I don’t think your shouts (even with reduced cd) benefit enough from soldiers. I’d definitely agree with going troll unguent, and evasive purity instead of increased regen IMO. Then you can choose between natures protection and circle of life, depending on if your allies are aware you run CoL in advance.

I personally would stick with the spider/wolf or hound/wolf. Another change would be to add a stun breaker, probably lightning reflexes in the place of sick ’em. You would then swap shared anguished for reduced survival skill cd.

I would also consider testing krait runes or runes of water with settlers, or pirate runes with celestial just to see how they feel for you. Rune of undead with settlers would be a big condi damage boost too.

Definitely do the troll unguent and evasive purity instead of regen duration swap though!

Good luck =)

Hi, i was looking to maximise the efficiency of a “shout” theme build, your change to krait(wich works best with shapened edges and sb-axe-dagger) and the addition of LR is just a different build(0-2-6-6-0, with SOTF, posted not so long ago by “ROME”. the benefit of soldair is big just with gurd u get condi removal every 12 sec on demand, its 2 condi removal every 24 sec(like muddy terrain +sotf for you and your teamates) its a big deal. Also the stats of soldair putting you almost at 3k armor 20k hp, the ultimate bunker stats.
in conclusion, SHOUT build is not a meta for a ranger, but can be fun and cool to play(also look strong). If you want a bleed build, checkout ROME build, very strong.

Thank you guys for your great feedback.

Taking Solider Rune and Poison Master is a good way to go, also TU over HS.
What are you thoughts of the weapon set? Why a/d & s/t over a/t & s/d ?

If there are no thiefs changing sicem to reflex with the cooldown reduction for survieval skills is a great choice.
I won’t change the pets and
don’t like the rabbit amulet, looking more for celestial or settler.

a/d-s/t -balance your evade capabilities for both weapon sets, same for the poison uptime. It also lets you use the the bonefie+leap combo for even greater value.
If you replace sic’em no real place for soldair like Siroso saied. basicly you only need the “gurd” shout for prema swiftness and regen. There are meny “gurd” builds you can do with both celes and settler, if u’r willing to give up the “shout build theme”.

I usually run something like this

It looks a little closer to the style you are going for. I go with warhorn over dagger for the blast finisher and to keep swiftness up 100%

Okay with your feedback I’m ending more to this Build
Not 100% sure of settler or celestial.

Just missing some condition remove, maybe changing Poison Master for Emphatic Bound.

Nice one, it’s definitely a lot stronger now!
I think going back to empathetic bond would be the right call.

I’m still struggling with the increased regen – wouldn’t you have permanent regen for yourself and your allies without the trait? Or is it just for a few extra ticks if your ally goes out of range? Circle of life or natures protection could still be better…

Settlers vs celestial is an interesting one. If you go settlers you should absolutely take signet of the wild (on passive) instead of protect me, IMO. It will give you far more sustain in the long run. I think settlers may in fact be the best call – even though it’s not one I would frequently recommend!

At some point you should try dropping axe/dagger for shortbow with rabid gear, sharpened edges and the 60% chance to bleed on crit sigil. You end up pumping out a lot more damage and the interrupt comes in pretty handy.
