Here is my plan so far for a solo or small group roaming ranger.
Any suggestions to solve listed problems would be appreciated.

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fNAQNAnYFjMq0xiBLUtGIPoWXABQE0uGCitl1GUyoqA-TVSEABQq+jOKhaSJCUKDAwEGP7PMn+ADUCOlSjAAIAczhezbGpAgYZE-w

Note:
- Utility slot 8 may be Grasping Vines (Sylvari)
- Ascended everything would, of course, be higher, but I am relatively poor.
I have or can make everything listed today.

Requirements
- 3000 Attack
- 20000 Health
- 3000 Armor
- 1300 Condition Dmg
- 60%+ Condition Duration
- 25% Movement Speed

Still tweaking these Problems:
- Too much Vitality and not enough Toughness
- Would like some more Endurance Regen
- Haven’t decided on Sigils yet (ideas?) Strength, Force, Agony, Bursting, Malice, Energy, Geomancy, Hydromancy, maybe even Purity
- Traits -adjustments sure, but I think the 30 in Marksmanship and Wilderness Survival is necessary
- Is Condition Duration even worthwhile? Maybe focus on constant re-apply

Precision, Crit %, Ferocity and Crit Dmg are NOT as important
Weapon set is fixed (except for the off-hand dagger).

Thanks for any suggestions.

pimped your build. your original build had almost no condi defence(big no no) some strange trait choises(like sharpened edges with 15% crit chance), steady defence etc… i changed dagger to troch to make good use of your condi damge, your main damge source, you rearly want dat burn(but it can work with dagger as well).

- Utility slot 8 may be Grasping Vines (Sylvari) (realy? why?)
- Ascended everything would, of course, be higher, but I am relatively poor(can work with exotics as well)

Requirements
- 3000 Attack (put 10 might on calculator, with the build you can easely mintain like prema 15 might)
- 20000 Health(check)
- 3000 Armor (check)
- 1300 Condition Dmg (put 10 might on calculator, with the build you can easely mintain like prema 15might)
- 60%+ Condition Duration (40% but its enough, if your foe will eat the full druation of your torch/bonfire he’s dead)
- 25% Movement Speed(got ya 90% swiftness uptime, the 100% regen uptime is on the house)
- Too much Vitality and not enough Toughness( its balanced now)
- Would like some more Endurance Regen(LR, almost 50% vigor uptime)
- Haven’t decided on Sigils yet (ideas?) Strength, Force, Agony, Bursting, Malice, Energy, Geomancy, Hydromancy, maybe even Purity (air on SB makes the AA so much better, battle for might stacking).
- Is Condition Duration even worthwhile? Maybe focus on constant re-apply(very worthwhile for condi builds, works togather with re-apply)
Precision, Crit , Ferocity and Crit Dmg are NOT as important(with SB its actually is, boosted it for 15 to 28% critchance).
You can change SOR to SOTW if you feel you dont need the extra condi defence and replace it with stability/healing). same goes to trait 4 in nature magic, you can also trait for protection/more power/ SOTW active at 25% hp)

Enjoy

Lugh’s trait changes are certainly better for a solo roamer.

Thanks for the hints, LughLongArm

I love torch in PvE; was reluctant to load dagger instead.

Much appreciated.
Too bad I can’t afford all the Ascended trinkets just now.

1) defence against guards
2)Guard Killer
you need like level 240 to get both.

Wanna thank you, Lugh, for the great advice.
Made 400+/- badges since putting my roamer build together.
Really loving “Guard”; so handy. when it is 5vMe, I get locked down and die, but otherwise it is working pretty well.

Now I need to work on my zerg set (Long bow plus ax/???).

If the Intimidation Training has no ICD (it wasn’t mentioned anywhere) then Longbow + Eagle pet with this trait is our new meta for roaming.
