Guild Wars 2

I’ve just started playing a Ranger so this may be a stupid question but the class appears to have very limited ways of dealing with conditions. Are there some suggestions you all might have in dealing with Necro’s and other condition heavy classes?

Empathic Bond. The new Survival of the Fittest. Healing Spring. Signet of Renewal, both passive, and if necessary, the active. Spirit of Nature active. Sigil of Generosity. There are a few others, but those are the common competitive condi removals.

Thanks for the help! BTW, I love the account name too.

Sigil of Purity is nice too if you don’t have enough crit chance to proc generosity. But yeah, I think that covers everything.

rangers have OP condi removal if u use all of them, 3 from EB every 10 sec, 6-8 from SotF every 30 or so seconds, 1 from SoR, 2 from sigils of generosity and purity every 9-10 seconds, and healing spring is overkill… but that’s the most out of any class I believe (except for ele probably)

oh, and evasive purity (clears blind and poison on dodge every 10 seconds)

lol with melandru runes and lemongrass poultry soup… rangers will never see another condi on them again. xD

Nobody spec for that or you will lack in dmg.

And for condition in general, i would empatic bond is the way to go. You MUST practice yourself with pet swapping because it kills your pet fast!

I was able to achieve an avg condi cleanse of 51/min while having 2100 condition damage, 3100 armor, 500 healing power, 22k hp. You’ll lack damage, but it depends on the build you’re facing.

I dislike this kind of build because any intelligent opponent can simply walk away and you cant do anything about it.

Again, depends on what build you’re facing. True the build might have trouble chasing, but you can prevent people from walking away with Spiders, Muddy Terrain, and Entangle.

Spider is unreliable and muddy terrain is ok… entangle is not an elite i would carry. Yet again, i dont think it can be enough vs skilled player :P

You can push skilled players to waste dodges with entangle. Since entangle is a powerful immobilize and is very telegraphed (jump animation), you can pop it and quickly “stow weapon” (must keybind it). That way you do the jump animation, but entangle doesn’t actually pop.
