Guild Wars 2

Hey Guys,

First off I’d like to say thank you for all the comments and feedback on the previous video. Hopefully this one surpasses the last one.

The good thing is that it shows the limits of those builds with trapper runes (running without stun break, condi cleans etc). This war in the second part is a good player who really know what he’s doing.

I don’t want to be rude or something, but the “7 minutes later…” at 6:46 is just meh. It’s not so long just because you ‘re equally skilled players or/and the builds cancel each other (both are usually needed in such case) , but because you ran 60 % of the time. You crossed the line between kitting and avoiding the fight to me. And it’s not so enjoyable to watch, really.

I agree with Borya a bit, here.

This build isn’t aggressive enough and doesn’t seem to have the sustained damage needed to deal with good players running good builds without kiting for minutes at a time; Which is fine, if that’s how you like to play. It’s smart, really, just not very exciting.

I noticed you never really used barrage. When I do use it, I always cast it on myself and set-up a bit of a ‘killzone.’ Most enemies want to close the gap on you so they are either forced to give you breathing room or eat the barrage damage and cripple, which tends to lead to them needing to back off or dying.

Cool music!

Hi i used to also think trapper rune LB builds doest have enough teeth to be worthwhile.
Until i met one dud on OS, he used somthing like this(build reconstruction, 90% accurate).

I never duled v such an annoying build, it has solid RP damage with tons of bleeds, SB for close range with fire trap, and the godly kiting capabilities of the trapper rune, condi reomval, stun removal just everything.
The frustration i was in….

After watching your vid I thought I recognized that warrior.

Power lb trapper rangers op mate ! Although I use Madking runes instead of trappers ;-(

Yeah its a decent build and I enjoy the kiting style that comes with it. You guys are right though I could use barrage more. Against a build like the S/W shout heal warrior its tough to put down enough consistent damage to stop the HP regen until the next burst. The low cool down gap closers were tough to deal with also.

I rewatched yours vs the warrior. You have poison on sword but you barely used it. Spider has a great duration poison skill but its difficult to land if you keep the guy moving all over lol.

Poison is a high dmg condition but that dmg is hidden to you and is only seen on the enemies screen in the form of low green heal numbers.

The poison is very strong, especially against the regen warriors. The issue is that I have no stability and against a hammer warrior, getting in that close can be very dangerous If its not timed properly.

Nice vid, I loved that last comments in the vid

from 6:44 to 6:45 is 7 minutes? Stretched it a little, but yeah, long fight.

Didn’t get to watch it yet so wont comment on the actual video but will once I get home Just wanted to say that trapper runes with LB is a pretty good mix. I use it all the time with axe and torch off hand.

Believe it or not I run superior sigil of incapacitation. I’ll agree in most cases fights are a bit of hide and seek, range, and melee. It really is a kiting game more or less because when you go trapper you are sort of limited if you are running 3 traps and while you gain speed, it is a sort on / off demand. Not consistent (although I’ve been chased across the map several times by very determined people)…

A few points of criticism i have, there were several scenarios in the fight vs the warrior where you could’ve EASILY used your WH 4 on the guy and kept running.

Additionally, there were a few moments where he jumped on you which popped the frost trap and you just ran instead of using your WH 5, which would not only give you swiftness (which in turn would make all your leaps further) but it’d also make it so that you would take 10% less damage and chill him everytime he hit you for a few seconds. It’d make getting back to range significantly easier.

And you never really utilized your traps to their full potential, you stealthed sure, but you could have easily gotten the stealth and then positioned yourself so that the trap was between you and the warrior which would put you at a much bigger advantage. Also, I don’t think i saw you activate your spiders F2 even once, and every spider has a very powerful F2, whether it’s a metric kitten ton of poison (very good vs regen warriors), an immobilize, or a weakness + vuln.

Finally, i was disappointed that you never really knocked him backwards into your traps, there were a few times where you could’ve very easily just point blanked him backwards into a trap which would have given you so much more damage from your auto + rapid fire, not to mention much needed breathing room.
