Guild Wars 2

Hey, just looking for other people’s opinions of Condi Ranger and SB after the recent Patch.

Currently running this build

Hope to run this with some trailblazer in place of dire

With the build I currently run, roaming in WvW is pretty good. Only real trouble seems to be chronomancers and alot of that stems from not playing that e-spec alot. And maybe a good Dragon Hunter.

What are other people’s thoughts, is the crit chance better for Condi application and life steal food (for AF gain) or would a strait dire/trailblazer build be better for the sustain and Condi duration it can provide?

Any thoughts welcome.

Thanks, Draeyon.

maybe use natural stride in place of shadow since you have no good access to swiftness and perhaps shared anguish in place of ambidexterity since you have no stability. Also consider using giver weapons since they give the most condition duration per gear slot, so the build would look like this:

this allows you to use tuning crystals in place of the precision buff so you don’t loose too much condi damage.
Life steal helps you with astral force generation since it is a healing tick and you lack any source of regeneration to build af other than the heal skill so stick with the food you have.

He’s got some solid tips but you do have good access to swiftness now just spam quick shot it’s such a low CD that you can spam it for swiftness
