Guild Wars 2

So, I want to see if this is good considering I just changed to a GS from the SB on the fly.

During our CoF run, self buffing myself I can crit at over 10K with Maul on the Slave Driver.

My build is 30/30/0/0/10, so I’m pretty much a Glass Cannon. I’ve got Superior Sigil of Bloodlust in the GS as well.

My baseline crit hit is about 1.7 or 1.8K compared to the SB’s 900 to 1K base without buffing.
Buffed, my hits are about 2K to 2.3K per autoswing, and maul can hit up to 5K or 6K depending on the might stacks, as well as Swoop hitting to about 4K.

Is this normal, or better than most GS rangers? Or am I fairly subpar and in need of re-working my build?

Depends on the buffing.
Is it sustainable or does it rely on high cooldown skills? Does it have certain requirements that may be difficult to fullfill regularly? You can’t just look at numbers in isolation, you have to contextualize things.

The CD’s are about a minute max, except my elite which is 2 minutes. So probably average to long CD length.

I can regularly keep it going so long as I dodge attacks and heal, or switch to SB in a pinch to gain some range while my health picks up, or for waiting on the CD to come back.

I’d say you’re normal to a bit below some of the crazier DPS builds. I’ve seen 23K Mauls on uplevels in WvW and light armor types. Not sure what the slave driver runs (toughness wise) I know for my one handed sword I get around 2.5K auto crits in pve content when I’m fully buffed and positioned. My catsassin Princess Fluffybottom about matches my autos so…. take that for whatever its worth.
