A build with high crit chance, above average power and 2.6k armor.
Versatile Ranger build
What this build has:
-Damage
-Fairly good damage mitigation (Thanks to Protect Me)
-Evades (Vigor ‘n’ kitten)
What this build does not have:
-Condition removal
-Buffed pet
Why is it versatile?
This build – gear-wise – is balanced. The traits define if you will be glass cannonish or spong-ish
What is versatile?
You can
-Take 5 from NM and Sk and put it in WS to gain a pretty good condition removal.
-Take 5 from Ma/NM/WS and put into Sk for Attack of Opportunity
—Maybe follow up with taking some more points from Ma and using them for the pet
—-Which in turn helps with Jaguar spike (Attack of oppoorrunity = stun -> Jaguar stealth crit damage whoooooooo)
Why is this not the perfect build?
No sigils because sigils are expensive.
No runes because runes are expensive.
Evasion/Kite dependant play.
Not for large scale battles.
Skilled use of pets required.
But pets are dumb!!!!
Moa has dazing screech, Fern Hound has regeneration, Wolf has fear and all of them AoE. They aren’t instant and that is the reason why you need to play well, keep your opponent close to the pet when you activate it.
How to become the best player in gw2?
Don’t evade because “I just want a little extra distance”
Don’t use Lightning Reflexes if you have endurance left, the enemy is not in your face or you are using sword.
When using the sword, use Hornet’s Sting to gain distance.
Use Protect Me if and only if: You are fleeing, 4-6 secs left on your healing skill or both you are your enemies HP is low. It’s a waste if you are almost dead and the enemy has over half his/her HP left.
Pay attention to what an enemy does. (For example, an Ele may cast Churning Earth and you get out of the zone. The ele might teleport to you just before (s)he finishes casting.) Evade accordingly.
But….. blahh blahh blahh
News are in!
Running in a party, with a longbow and Muddy terrain + Frost spirit + Speed signet + Spirit elite really helps the party. Muddy terrain when you can choke, frost spirit always, speed just for mobility and the elite when you are outnumbered.
