Guild Wars 2

Am no newby to ranger, i played since launch but i decided to put my thief on a shelf and go with my old ranger to try some sPvP

I use this build in WvW with alot of sucess but Longbow/GS on sPvP is so awfull…
My damage is PATHETIC! With Berseker amulet!

If my Rapid Fire deals 5k dmg, its alot…
In WvW i reach 10k Rapid Fire…

After couple matches, i wen’t back to WvW to see if i was having a bad day.
I wasn’t…

The small diference in the stats from pve gear to pvp amulets is so noticibel on the ranger that makes my jaw drop.

Ranger sure needs some help for sPvP power builds… i feel that unless i go full glassy on traits i won’t deal aceptable damage…

There are many reasons why a power Rangers damage maybe Hindered from the choice of pet, to the amount of boons a pet gets from you or your weapons , to trait set up on a low Dps weapon can cause its overall damage to be high but slow per second where the damage is just recovered between arrows with nothing to sustain because of said chosen traits.

can’t help much more unless you post your Pvp build.

I have given up, am rolling a Celestial Survival of the Fitest with 4 survival skills and very long bleedings, stacking 16 bleeds on auto atack only and can easy pump 25 bleeds on burst

??? I’ve found lb/gs power ranger to be one of the easiest builds on spvp. Incredible ranged damage, lot’s of defense, and lots of cc. I can take down players in seconds from 1500+ range. It has everything a berserker build could want. It’s rather vulnerable to conditions though, but because of its range and evasive skills, condition heavy builds can still be outplayed.

So by not playing glass, you expected glass damage?

Think I found your problem.

Well it has been said many times WvW is entirely different from sPvP. You have food, buffs, etc. spvp is base stats + amulet and rune. Of course you won’t be doing the same damage you did in WvW. What did you expect? One shot kills?

Power ranger is great on different levels of competition, but not your best choice. It, however, can still be deadly in the right hands. This is all said after that fact we all know ranger is pretty terrible in general.

Are you playing hot join?

Buff ranger thread? Yes, please!

Well no, nerf to others would be more of a balance, however, better pet control would be a great step forward…

Now try shadow arts p/d thief and make a thread about that one sucking too! Or PU mesmer!

I would definitely like to see both your wvw build and your pvp build..

I spent about 10 minutes a while back and was able to effectively recreate my wvw soldiers/zerker build (granted there was an extra few point in X and a few less points in Y, but it was functionally indentical)

I dont think it sucks but it def require a different playstyle and mindset. We can be so squishy so it is important to stay ahead before enemy makes an opener that could be hard to come back from. If you check my chan ill be uploading some games from now on ranger pov, and while its not higher tier it should showcase role and possibilities. The key is positioning and knowing when to disengage in a manner that doesnt burn all your defensives at once.

Nope.

I like the idea of people like you stopping playing lb/gs ranger in PvP. The less we are the better, because the majority can’t play it properly and give bad reputation.

I give up on sPvP,

I wen’t back to my original build: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fNAQJATRjEq0waLL+rQ1ag9gadAUAnN7BeECBXbRBbqA-TJBFwACuEA62foaZAAPBAA

This works for sPvP.

I was QQ’ing this one doesn’t do kitten!: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fNAQJATRjEq0waLL+rQ1ag+ga9DEAjdvfg7/+BFspC-TJBFwACuEA62foaZAAPBAA

Both are the same build.
