Guild Wars 2

I wanted to have a melee ranger and have tested a few builds, starting out with the bunker beastmaster build. I have tweeked a little here and there and now come up with a build that retains some of the survivability of the bunker but provides a bit more offensive selfsustain power in addition to the beefed pet.

Disclaimer: only tested for hot join pvp.

The build has permafury with red moa and warhorn and some decent crit modifiers to supplement self damage, while still maintaining good healing power. The major downside of the build is conditions, but one could swap in SoR for more cleansing. Anyways, the regeneration provided by the build does make conditions less of a burden.

It is basicually, a BM semi-bunker build.

What do you guys think?

only problem I see is no range attack, there will be times when you really need it..

True but the point was to make a melee build. I actually do not find it difficult to have no range. GS has a low cooldown gap closer – which can also be used to flee is things turn nasty. Combine that with sword 2/2 and you can be quite mobile.

I mean more for when say at the keep when there are ppl on the ledge you have no way to damage them,

I know cus I did this and I faced a necro on said ledge… I could do nothing to him except watch him kill me..

Everything is situational. If you’ve tested this build and excel at its role, don’t mind what others say. Field testing carries the weight of a thousand forums.

Chopss: I could’nt agree more.

Firebreath: You are right that there are certain annoying situations where that apply. However, if I had the point, I would try and stand in between the walls so I couldnt be hit. The point would not be taken unless the foe jumps down or there are one foe on each ledge to hit, which is very situational.
