Guild Wars 2

I’d like to get a summary of the most competitive and avialable builds at the moment in Pvp (p/tPvp maybe, not Wvw).
If anybody with some experience would like to share some of his experience, it would be kindly accepted.

I yet checked a Trapper Condition build similiar to this:

I’ve seen around some Condition Bunker running around which i’m interested in.

Thanks for the attention.

Check Jubskie’s guide, pinned on the front page:

Thanks for the hint, by the way i’d rather having a list of the actual meta builds: there on the sticky post you can find old, more for pve, Wvw and more personal builds, it’s not exactly what i’m looking for.

I’d like to understand what’s rolling on the actual metagame.

So, can anybody write anything?
I don’t think there isn’t a single build which is more competitive in Pvp..

The thing is Anet has proven to the community that the punish builds that become popular so while some of us are playing builds that are as powerful as pre patch, I doubt any will actually spell it out. We have builds that are near immortal 1v1 and very capable of 1vX.

I shared my old tPvP build, which was buffed TO THE MOON last patch and gave it to Chopps, seems to be doing absolutely amazingly for him, I’ll let him decide whether or not he wants to share it since I’m not really playing my ranger atm.

Essentially what happens is the Ranger does raw physical damage and the pet pumps out condi and direct damage.

afaik, the strongest build is the spirit build atm

Alright, so the situation is this. Thanks for the feedback, i’ll insist on finding something viable for the metagame.

The two builds i’m running

This might be what you’re looking for:

These are the builds that pro teams use during tournies/scrims.

Due to the total disappointment of these other builds and a bit of pitty I’m probably going to post a link to my build later, it’s a 10/20/10/0/30 build, and it’s a death machine!

Durz! The mid range peeler??? You can’t reveal that T_T lol just kidding. Fwiw, thats the build I used versus theives in the soac tourney (thank you durz!)

Keen Edges or Malicious Training
Companion’s Might and Pet Prowess
Expertise Training
Commanding Voice, Rending Attacks, Natural Healing

Am I close?

Yes, close. You’re getting warm; there’s more details than that. On the right track! Here’s a hint: drop pet prowess for agility training and pick up a Lynx. Durz can spill the beans, it’s his build after all. The cool thing about it for me is now, for pvp, I have a decent long range build, a solid mid range build, and, of course, traps/bunker to hold a point.

K its the Bleed Pet build, yea

When I ran it, I think I had 20 in BM though. Depends what you’re trying to do.

Probably drops SotW and uses SoR instead, or maybe keeps SotW and uses the 3 second quickness at 30 instead of Natural Healing instead.

Yay that’s what i’ve been looking for; a pity it’s not updated to the latest patch, by the way it’s a nice reference!
Thank you for the help.

…those ranger builds are considered the ‘meta?’ lol. Maybe this is one of the main reasons why so many rangers are complaining about how the class sucks compared to others.

What is it with rangers and their incompetance and making an interesting and effective pvp build?? Alot of these builds in this thread just don’t make much sense and have alot of ‘loose ends’. I guess this comes from lack of experience while playing other classes though.

Thanks for the “incompetent” title. I need more experience with Ranger, it’s not my main class, but i have not that much time to waste on refining a build, and i’m not playing it to prove anything to anyone, i’d like just to learn some competitive builds to play on pair with other classes.

I’d like to know which builds you pointed at are considered senseless and with ‘loose ends’.
Maybe provide an average list of the builds you consider actual avialable metagame

Those builds are for sPvP and the Ranger ones are all melee/condition. The best advice any one can give you is experiment…All the builds that got nurfed were discovered over many hours and much gold spent experimenting…

Thanks for the advice, but i have to point that i’m actually looking more for tPvp competitive builds, that’s why i’m asking about the Meta. The Meta consists on the most viable build, those most competitive, which works better and are played as the top in the competitive environment.
About the experimenting, it’s better sharing informations with other players, so anyone can avoid worthless or lackluster Traits or build (gaining more time) and focus more on what works better.
