Guild Wars 2

Hey guys, I am a mesmer main and decided to roll a ranger. Had a ton of fun messing with pets and stuff and leveling throughout pve. Speed clears are pretty fun on ranger as well but I’m getting tired of back lining the Zerg with a zerk longbow only to get nailed by a theif the first time I mess up. I’ve seen the RRR and the BTR rangers, also Xorus bam bunkers. Just curious what’s viable for roaming? A high skill cieling is fine by me, ranger is my 5th 80 so is like to think I can mange.

TL:DR —-viable roaming ranger build?

Most ranger builds are fine for roaming, even zerker works just fine. The profession itself is clearly designed to be a roaming class given its limited group support and limited active condition removal. However when it comes to solo/small team roaming i can only suggest 4 builds:
Beast Cannon -https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/ranger/The-Beast-Cannon-build/first#post2819888
Which is my own build. It is a mix of full zerker and BM. Giving you zerker DPS along with zerker pet DPS. It will easily give your enemy a massive headache, as both you and your flimsy little pet will be a proper threat.

The RRR build:

Xorsus’s BM Bunker:

And the good old Trapper

There you go. Enjoy.
Oh and, don’t play a ranger like any other profession or you will die.

Thank you sir! Oh yeah I know it haha. I like the active play style though, I generally roam with a zerk shatter build so I’m used to the all or nothing approach. I’ve been doing pretty okay with just spamming dodge/evades with SB sw/d pretty fun stuff so far

There is a 5th build, which is what i’m running, however I am not going to re-post it as it is borderline OP in certain areas. And i do not like nerfs.

Beast cannon does in fact hit hard. Ill prolly try the BM bunker I suppose
