Tux – [VoTF] Vengeance of The Fallen
Ranger 1vX build
In my opinion Ranger is not the best class for 1v2 or 1v3. Try Guardian or Warrior. Ofcourse you can go bunker BM build and its varieties but that is not much dps and you will be able only to survive against several opponents, but not win. Consider looking through recent topics – there must be some decent builds for all demands.

I’ve seen some sword/torch or something trap rangers that did well in such situations, however im really new to ranger class (still lvl 1 wanna try him in sPvP first)

Sword rangers are often very mobile and torch benefits overall cond damage from traps. But they won’t live long enough to win agaisnt 2-3 opponents. Its just not the nature of the class )
For 1vX, probably an Apothecary Bunker (0/0/30/10/30 or similar with Apothecary gear).
Pros:
+ Enhanced survival due to high toughness, high healing power, damage-mitigating traits, and regeneration for both you and your pet(s).
+ Very impressive sustain due to the above.
+ High condition damage.
+ Pets become quite formidable with the +300 to BM and associated traits.
Cons
- Minimal dps, so battles can take a while, especially if your opponent(s) can remove conditions. Que stories of battles between bunkers that drag on for so long that both sides end up going “Kitten it!” and walking away.
- Because battles can take a while, it won’t be long before others join in, and they may not necessarily be on your side.
- If your opponent(s) run, there’s little to nothing you can do about it.
- Pets, despite all the benefits they get from this build, are still not that reliable without a lot of micro.
Hello guys
I’m looking to start playing ranger, and i want a good build that u can 1v1 with, or maybe even 1v2/1v3
Im a big fan of condi builds, but i wouldnt mind a power/tanky build as long as it’s good in these situations. (im a fan of small scale PvP)
Thanks!
How fast do you want these fights to go? Do you want to go in yelling “PEW PEW PEW PEW PEW!” and drop everyone down quickly? i’m assuming you want more of a bunkery condi build though since you said you like condi builds, those are more about outlasting than super huge damage…
If you want a condi damage bunker build i can give you an altered version of my bunker build that’ll give you A LOT of survivability but also give you a lot of condi damage.

some variation on the trapper is probably ur best bet- survivable enough to last a little while against 3 and all his main dmg is aoe
There was a build / video of a trapper ranger using Sword+torch / SB here the other week.. worked really well from what I could see. Maybe give that a go.

0-30-30-5-5 I find best one.
There’s no way a warrior can handle 1v2+ anywhere close to a bunker ranger. He will way out DPS the ranger, but its game over when he’s on CD.
0/0/30/10/30
Mostly apothecary, I mix in some Cleric and Shaman as well so I have a little bit more oomph behind my hits. This build works with every weapon set, I use SB/sword+torch when I’m solo, flip on GS when grouped.
Two MUST HAVE slot skills: LR and Healing signet. All of that HPower combined with that signet makes for a very tanky build. LR is needed for the stun breaker(evade + endur regen is just icing)
Use whatever you like for the last one, I usually use movement signet until I get close then I flip to QZ.
Must have traits: Shared Anguish, Hide in Plain Sight, EB
EB is a must have for removal, even with the nerf 3 removes every 10 ticks is fine with this build.
If you’re going to be fighting outnumbered you need the other two traits. Most players are pretty dumbfounded when the opponent ignores their stuns, these traits allow you to control the fight. No more guardian bubble bouncing, watch the horror fill his eyes when you reappear holding that flag.
The BM traits are going to depend on your pets, I run wolf and fern because when traited they both apply AOE cripple which can let you escape. The Wolfs fear will allow you to not only interrupt rezzes, you can buy extra time for stomps. Some people prefer cats or birds, which is fine too, so trait accordingly.
My other two BM traits are Natural Healing(which actually let’s dogs stay up a bit) and the f2 recharges faster. Neither I would say are must haves, more personal preference.
This build doesn’t burst like others. This is meant to survive through passive health regen, with bigtimme toughness. LR combined with the 1h sword makes us a stupid hard class to connect hits on. By the time their cooldowns are available, we’ve fully regenned.
I haven’t lost 1v1 with this for a very long time, only the occasional stalemate vs DD eles and perma thieves.
I’ve taken numerous lvl 80s at a time with this, and can usually survive and escape when heavily out numbered.
The burst damage isn’t great, but the survivability combined with the nonstop flurry of little hits breaks people apart very quickly when played right.
