Guild Wars 2

Hey guys, Iv’e been roaming in WVW on my lv80 Ranger recently and really enjoy it. I have been able to handle most 1v1 fights and a handful of 2v1s. I feel that my build is lacking something though, and I think that the problem is that I have too much focused on Zerker stats. Is there a good WVW roaming build that has good survivability and can put out decent damage. I normally run with the Lynx and either the Wolf, Drakehound, or Hyena and I use the LB and a 1h/war-horn. I’m thinking of switching to a 1h/axe and 1/dagger.
Suggestions?

You could also try the condi bunker route. Those do quite well at dueling. There are also quite a few GS WvW builds available on this forum if you want to try something else that is also power based. GS is usually a glass cannon instant kill build or a very tough with lower damage build.

For the power route, a lot of people will mix in some PVT. I prefer 100% berserkers, but I don’t “duel” (I fight people that come near me) and I prefer that intense style of kill or be killed. I find with the +vit +regen cons and guard buffs, and some key defensive traits like vigor on crit or prot on big hit, I have enough survivability to focus the character on damage.

I think offhand axe or dagger is a better choice than WH if you have a choice before the fight.

This is the build I have based my roaming build off of. Mine is slightly different to my own liking.

Its does pretty well, almost worthless in zerg running though.

Yeah, I use my ele for all my zerging needs!

I haven’t tried it yet but I really wanna experiment with fern hounds for added sustain. If traited, you can get a 4k heal every 25 seconds with two traits, or 20 seconds with three traits.
