Here is my build:
http://www.gw2build.com/builds/simulator.php#1.6.10.9.0.0.0.0.0.0.133.134.144.139.151.0.0.0.376.383.385.392.391.400.0.0.0.421.0.0.0.0.0.30.30.0.10.0

My gear is all Berserker’s Emb with Run of the Ranger Full Exotic
attack 3035
crit chance 50%
armor 2042
Health 17252

Now here is my problem I can’t seem to kill anything anymore and i fold faster than a bad poker hand. I can’t seem to beat a single person in WvW stand alone right now it takes literally forever to kill a player or even a player pet. NPCs go down without much trouble but I can’t kill another player to save my kitten

Any suggestions would be awesome

the important part here is that your optimizing your dps without much thought into survivability. your healing ability (while good in a group) means you have to stay in a general area to get it’s full benefits. you might get the benefit of the combo field, but if your focused on dodging you’re not attack while it’s up.

as it stands right now, Ranger has some of the lowest straight up dps in the game.

what are you using for pet’s ? (while not really good, they do sometimes hit, and their utility skills can range from finding items, healing, and dps).

also, ask yourself what you want to do in WvWvW. are you the guy behind the wall? are you a back-liner? are you a roamer taking out stragglers and such.

also, are you using the LB or the SB as your main dps? LB is great for it’s cooldowns but SB (even with the “animation fix”) still out classes it in DPS (based off use and mobility, i find myself getting angry at LB animation times so i don’t use it unless i have to)

so fix’s:

1) use troll ungent, it’s better in the long run, provides higher healing capability and higher survivability

2) travel in packs. a glass cannon isn’t meant to travel by themselves.

3) live with it, and wait for a ranger fix.


that being said, my wvwvw npc kills are probably only 15 seconds longer at most (mainly because i can’t stack bleedss).

Use signet of stone(with the trait makes it effect you) or protect me(or both) for panic bottom in WvW, they are very handy in zerg fights where you will never know what will happen to you next sec or against glass cannon thief and warrior on 1v1. I prefer 10 points in Toughness instead of Vitality, with 50% faster endurance regen and vigor on heal your kite ability will be much better.

And even though QZ on shortbow get nerfed to hell…it is still our only way to burst out damage…so use it…(on longbow rapid fire maybe?)

Forty Milliseconds…rangers who remember…know…

Weird. I have a similar build. Full berserker but my attack is at around 3500 and same crit rate and 16k health with some toughness. I am doing great an rarely fall. It takes a lot to take me down around the same amount when a warrior would fall too. I crit at 3200 with gs swoop, 14k if I qz sword torch or gs autoattack for 4-5 secs. Normal hits at 1200-2200 crits…. Plus all the evasion, poison , fire and tons and tons of aoe and mobility, I clear things insanely fast and seldom am in real trouble. A dodge out and heal does the trick usually. My pet also stays alive if I keep an eye on it an my wolves helps alot.

In wvw I run a shortbow, dual bows if it’s defensive, and qz sb or longbow rapid fire basically kills someone, plus or minus a few more shots or condition. Each shot crits at 1000-1500. Protect me and stone signet tricks to keep u for those vital seconds to take someone down.

I’m thinking of testing melee wvw though. If I swoop in, daze, entangle and protect me / stone signet then burst qz sword/gs for a good 4seconds for around 10-14k damage, drop some fire and poison and dodge out for sb…. I think it should take down someone quick enough?

What weapons are you using

@OP

Try this: 30/30/0/0/10
Marks: 4, 10, 11
Skirmish: 2, 10, 11
BM: 1

Troll Ungent or Healing Spring; Quicking Zepher; Signet of Stone (6 seconds of invulnerability) and/or Signet of the Wild (Stability + Damage buff), and/or Signet of Renewal (Condition removal and stun breaker); Rampage as One

Reason:
I find increased vitality works better than toughness, and the pet skills cooldown buff in BM is useful.
If you going to use signets (and you should…) then you need Signet Mastery and Signet of the Beastmaster in Marksmanship.
For WvW you can swap Eagle Eye for Piercing Arrows if you want.
If you are going to use traps in WvW, then you need Trap Potency (Skirmish XI), otherwise run with 2 signet utilities and your pet damage buff.

Lvl 80’s: Ranger; Guardian; Mesmer; Necromancer; Thief
