Shout/BM build
for pvp or pve?
if for pvp
i think its not same powerful like old bm ranger
0/0/30/10/30
you have not the important condi remove (3 condis every 10 sec)
and thats rly important because you will face much condi players as bm ranger.
much time a bomb engi go for you or now a necromancer fear you to valhalla.
also its good to put 30 in wildnis survival because you become armor and condi dmg, thats rly useful
and i think its not so good when its the only reason to go with shouts because the new trait (10sec regen and 10sec swiftness) when the most shouts are not rly good…
spaming all the time guard only for swiftness and regen is not fun in the fight…
its also not rly good, because guard have huge cast time, in this time its better to make condi dmg with axe/torch and dodge with sword/dagger.
also slow the enemy with dagger 5 and axe 3 to let the pet hit more times
better then shouts in my mind is:
signet of wild: give u good regen
signet of renewal remove each 10 sec condi and give all condis to pet when you use it
and it have also stun breaker
lightning reflexes have stun breaker, dodge and vigor
at least condi dmg is better then the power dmg as bm ranger,
because you can just cast the condi dmg on enemys and start dodge at same time the enemy become your condis and pet dmg
you can have enough regeneration with dwayna runes and healing spring

yeah 30 in BM for a shout build would be sub-optimum at this point. The difference in damage from 10 in bm and 30 for pets isnt much. and the traits (besides the GM regen) arent too super.
i dont know what weps and armor your running. But check out Faux’s BTR or my Re-Port331 build. both are really awesome. and if your a bow kinda person..im sure there is something decent out there.

Thanks for the feedback guys. This is for PVP/WvW Oildmetala. Maybe I am too new to theory-crafting to make a truly viable build, but the one I made right now has been working for me thus far. I’ve been winning almost all of my 1v1’s and my pet survives through group encounters. Still testing it though. Oh and I didn’t make this to be a bunker build, mostly a roaming one (hence the pet choice, and no empathic bond). The healing for the build has been pretty great and I’ve been able to bring myself back from basically dead to full health in 1 heal. Also, in terms of the guard spam, I think it does more than just grant perma-swiftness and regen, it also grant protection to my pets (seeing as they are not as tanky as other pets) letting them surviving longer. I’m probably going to move some points out of BM if it doesn’t hurt my healing too much and replace troll with the healing field. I’ll use your comments as a reference guide though, if I feel I need to make more changes.
Ok, I revised the build a bit. Tell me what you guys think. I’m really happy with it thus far and I’ve been doing pretty well with it in spvp. Took 20 points out of BM, put 10 in skirmishing (for the 30% increased crit dmg, really makes a difference with cats as pets) and 10 more in Wilderness survival for reduced GS skills (might swap with reduced off-hand skills). I also alternate healing spells depending on whether I’m taking or defending a point. I swapped out reflex for signet of renewal for condition removal. Helped m survivability a bit. Thanks for the input guys.
