Guild Wars 2

Hey guys,

today I lost a 1v1 against a lvl 80 ranger, two times in a row. I met him at Eternal Battleground JP this morning. I played on my thief, and I rarely met a ranger that could beat me in 1v1 on any of my chars (2 or 3 times to be exact). Okay, fair enough. Better players than me are out there, for sure. But this guy was completely invulnerable to my attacks, like a warrior using Endure Pain or one of those Lords with invincible buff. I’ve never seen that before on this class. No block, no dodge, but 0 dmg for some seconds.

I looked up ranger traits and utilities at gw2skills.net, but I couldn’t find anything that would cause me do 0 dmg. So, what was it?

Thanks for your help

signet of stone’s active affect gives 6 seconds of no damage taken to the ranger’s pets, with 30 traited in marksmanship one can get “signet of the beastmaster” which allows active signet affects to effect the ranger as well. That is how he was able to take 0 damage for such a long time

…..look again?
Rangers can get up to 12s invul with a traited Signet of stone and “protect me” shout.

Oh, yeah I missed that point where signet’s effect counts for the player as well. Thanks, guys.

Anyway, quite surprising I haven’t seen any other ranger using that… lol

usually rangers dont go deeper into power trait line, or signet mastery,

because more often than not, rangers go BM bunker build or Condition trapper build

Also, the signet has a 120 sec cooldown (you can pretend it’s an elite!). Warrior endure pain has a 90 sec cooldown, is also a stun breaker, and doesn’t have any grandmaster trait requirement.

If he had a pig, he also could have an extra 3 seconds of invulnerability from foraged Elixir of Heroes. Nothing wrong with 15s of invulnerability.
