I’m looking for feedback on this idea… it is all just theory at the moment.
My goal is not so much to do massive damage but to keep my team alive with two weapons that I enjoy playing with and to keep most of the gear I have right now (Settler’s).
I’d like to experiment with on crit mechanics with these weapons. SB has such a fast fire rate that I believe the healing from the water sigil would proc often and LB would gain some condition damage from the earth sigil. Piercing arrows and the opening strike crits seem like a good combo for these sigils.
The protections and regens, coupled with toughness and decent healing power will help keep me alive although I’ve read that Grove runes aren’t working properly. If that’s true, I’d switch to Altruism or Dwayna…. Monk maybe?
Muddy Terrain could be swapped for SoH for running around. Pets are mainly utility and could be swapped depending on the situation as well.
Let me know what you guys think. I am trying hard to enjoy my ranger.
I was thinking of a support build for WvW and I am only at the theory crafting/testing stage myself but this is a rough build I came up with.
Also, have a weapon with Super Sigil of Restoration to stack more healing. This build is for DPS and support/control.
Sorry I haven’t tested it yet but it was a similar direction you are going in.
