Hello everyone!
So, i had make a comeback into the game after quite some time and fell in love with the Ranger class. Lvl 50ish i steam roll through the content like its nothing using a power build (trying to choose power/expertise/ferocity gear whenever i can) using LB/GS as weapons and ofc my awesome pets!
I did some search of my own about Ranger and its place in and game, Pvp, WvW and Raids/Fractals.
The proffecion seems to be in a very good spot atm and i for one im very pleased about this to be honest.
But i got a bit confused in the proccess about the plase of certain builds.
I dont want by any means to be confined to 1 build at each game mode, lets say for example, i really do enjoy the power build that i level with and i would like to see that kind of action late game, say, in Pvp or WvW, be it roaming or what not.
For Raids and Fractals ofc im expecting quite some min/max and i dont have a problem been support or healer (Druid Elite spec i just love).
So….what do you guys say?
What is your point of view about builds and roles of the Ranger in the late game modes?
What works the best or not? I myself will play quite some Pvp and WvW and try ofc Raiding when i have the time.
I really do enjoy a constructing conversation as i feel the proffecion is pretty versatile in all modes and i would like to see first hand when the time comes.
Thank you all in advance!

Power ranger will be hard to use effectively at endgame. It’s still fine for all the HoT zones, if you’re just doing open-world stuff on your own or participating in any of the metas. However, if a group is really depending on everyone to put out a lot of dps, you will likely not perform that well.

I strongly suggest you try learning condi ranger as well! I gave it a shot, and it’s now become my main form of ranger. The DPS, survivability, and group support condi rangers can keep up is really nice.

Heals druid of course is a well-beloved raid healer/buffer; few classes can touch us when it comes to pumping out heals and group damage increases all at once. Interestingly there are some builds out there that allow you to contribute a bit more to dps while also maintaining that support role, although I haven’t tried any myself.

Ty mate for the responce!
I did some further search (Metabattle for exp) and i did switch to condi with Shortbow wiht Axe/Axe or Warhorn for the boons, seems to be quite stronger in open world pve.
Reaching 70 lvl soon heray!!
Still will continue to experiment as i reach 80.
Keep scrolling on the forums and im seeing quite few posts about Power PvP action which makes me glad cause i like this kind of playstyle!
