Guild Wars 2

Which is the best to use for the event farming? Do any of them have melee cleave at all?

I use pets with AoE effects ( murrellow, carrion devourer, marsh drake, wolf, pig…….)

Yeah I’ve been using Drakes too, but their F2 has a rather hefty cooldown.

20/20/0/0/30 with Honed Axes traited in skirmishing and Natural Healing in beastmastery and dual axes will give you plenty of AoE. To get pets more in the action, it’s good it use a fast attacking pet, like cats, and instead of traiting 30% crit damage from pets like I normally do in dungeons, I would trait 30% move speed for pets. Ypu’ll also want to be able to get around fast so for that use Signet of the Hunt and swap to greatsword. GS will also cleave and it gives you the awesomely mobile Swoop ability.

Run berserker gear and trinkets with runy orbs or superior rune of the ranger OR superior rune of the golemancer, at least for maximum damage. Some folks like to run knights or rampager gear in PvE. To get berserker gear, run CoF and use the tokens for the medium armor power/prec/crit option. To get rampager and/or rune of the golemancer, run CoE.

Rock on! Good luck! Find Dusk for me! I’ve been looking!!!!

Edit: I meant ruby orbs not runy orbs. There’s other typos in there too but I’m on my cell phone so I apologize for that.

Oh one last thing: keep the pet on aggressive mode in general pve. In fact, I’ve been playing a lot with pet in aggresive mode and feel like this is the best way to play now, overturning my previous advice to use passive. Now, for dungeons at least, I suggest new rangers use passive and experienced ones use aggressive mode. But in general PvE open world, as well as WvW or sPvP, aggressive is your best bet.
