Since mercenary amulet got removed I have been thinking of switching my A/D S/T condition ranger to Sage with a toughness based runeset to cover some of the lost stats.

This is what I’m thinking of running:

Any feedback or tips on the build would be greatly appreciated – I’m not really a PvPer I mainly play WvW.

I am thinking along the same trait lines, but I don’t think you have enough defense. Next time I am able to do some PvP I plan on trying rabid with generosity. Not sure if dolyak or soldier runes are the better choice, but since we have so little damage I think I’m dropping staff for the weapons you have listed. Might give SB a whirl.

Also I have many dozens of posts over the years about why I don’t think traps are very good for PvP, so I won’t repeat myself. I think you’re better off with shouts or signets or WS or anything else. Looking at your build my first 4 thoughts to replace traps, in no particular order, are SoS, SoR, SS, QZ. All 4 of those have some much needed defense, with WS providing more offense and signets providing even more defense.

Interesting build and idea. I might have to give it a whirl.

I started off with the same bunker druid I ran last season (St S/D Mender’s), but it’s felt so-so in the early go.

Condis seem to hurt way more this time around and my early matches have been flush with necros and warriors
