Greetings Ranger Community.

I came here to share one of my other builds I have been playing with.
Please, be noted that this build might not be a complete build you would end up running, but is to work more of a template for a different play-style you might find effective or fun.

_____________________________________
This build is a Sustainable variation of Zerk with nice access to damage mitigation as well as condition cleanse. The damage it deals is significant and it is able to provide team support via various uses such as soft or hard CC.

Thanks to Quick Draw – this build can dance around Stealth – repositioning, disrupting, straight damage dealing if not focused.
Thankfully, Quick Draw allows this weapon set to go absolutely adaptive to the situation – which allows 1 utility space for this wonderful ability – Frost Trap.

It takes some time to learn the trap, but it definitely pays off.
______________________________________
Cons:
Mediocre Mobility
Lacks True burst of Thief
Doesn’t have a full cleanse

Pros:
High Direct damage spikes
Nice disruption in both soft and Hard CC
Can be played extremely defensively regardless of full offensive stats
Has nice high access to condition cleanse and Direct Damage mitigation
Has immense access to damage combinations and disruptive sequences

Any feedback is welcome.
I had success with this build, so far, won several bunkering fights but I found myself having problems only against d/d eles. Engies, Warriors, Necros, Thieves, Mesmers were all easy matchups unless I screwed up.

I like the build mate.

You use the trap as an ice field for chilling and frost aura? As well as the ability to flee chilled foes too I suppose.

Exactly.

And it’s the thing that helps you bunker a point if you really have to. Well, the damage on it is nice, too.

What’s the tooltip for it, damage wise, now?

Tooltip says 720 (3x).
Nothing breath-taking but helps.
