Guild Wars 2

Hi, I’ve been searching around forums to find answers to my questions but I have found only some. I am trying to build my ranger mostly for dungeons and random farming around. I crafted full berserkers armor and have 2 superior runes of ranger so far. My trinkets and amulets are kinda random. Right now I am sitting at around 49% crit, and when I get my full rune setup it should be above 50% for sure. What I am wondering is what should I upgrade my trinkets with now. I am sitting at enough crit gear according to other forum posts so I wasnt sure if I should continue stacking power/precision/crit on my trinket or switch to something like power/toughnes/vitality.
As you can figure I am aiming towards shortbow/axe/horn ranger, and longbow situational.
Also, I started doing fractals but it seems like my pets keep dying really fast which makes my RaO less usable sometimes. Even when i switch to ranged pets they somehow die.

BtW: I am considering dungeon knights armor as I feel that I am super squishy with full berserkers, Lupicus almost 1 shots me anytime if I am in full zerkers.Is it worth getting that toughnes at cost of power and prec/crit dmg?. Any oppinions on that?

Hope you can provide me some feedback here, thanks!

Brown Bear/Red Moa

-Zerker Gear w/ a mix of Knights
-Long or Short, your preference
-Healing Spring/QZ/LR/Muddy Terrain (or whatever)/Entangle

Or… Make a warrior/guardian

I would also like to see more rangers share their perspectives on what a descent/good dungeon build should be.

Do condition builds work there?
Is going full GC too hard in higher fractals?
@jay if you run a brown bear shouldn’t you also have protect me?

Muddy Terrain changes a lot depending on the situation. Protect me is more important if there’s too much to dodge at times, like for instance Path 3 Subject Alpha.

What do you mean by mix or zerker and knights? whats the balance? some people say that we should be sitting at around 50% crit and that everything else above is a waste. So should I aim for some crit cap with zerker and then go knights or? How much toughnes do you usually have for dungeons in order to survive more than 2 shots?

He means a mix of berserkers and knights gear so you get some toughness but I don’t think that really helps. Basically if your trying to run a crit build go for power/prec/toughness which is knights gear. I run 20/30/10/0/10 and currently sit at 2600 armor. Crit chance is 54% with LB and 57% with SB. Go for a mix of berserkers/rampagers/knights accessories. Basically have armor sit between 2500-2800. Rangers have moderate HP so no need to really pump vita gear unless you really want to. This also only works if your a ranged ranger. If you use sword/GS or anything like that you can spec the same but have to gear differently. In dungeons you want to have good survivability and decent DPS. At 2600 armor I can take a few hits and I crit for ~1200 with LB.

I use full Zerker trinkets with Zerker armor with Emerald Orbs. Emerald Orbs mainly for more precision and some extra toughness
