Guild Wars 2

I PvP quite a lot and recently I’ve heard lots of talks/complaints of the “Spirit” Ranger.

I’ve seen some run around but not really engaged with one what makes them so annoying/good?

More importantly how would a build look like what Weapons/Traits do they use obviously 30 in nature magic but the rest?

Greetings,

There’s 3 different ways I’ve seen it built:

Carrion:

Shaman:

and Rabid:

Right now I would argue that you can switch out torch for warhorn so that you can blast finish in your own healing spring for more healing on any of the builds, as the sun spirit provides more than adequate burning uptime.

Thanks alot for those builds man really gave an good insight how these are build.

What would u say is the most effective builds otm?

They all have their different roles. Carrion is pretty strong for the current condition meta, as with the way its setup there is a decent amount of protection uptime to begin with, so the vitality gained from going Carrions is the best defense against conditions.

Shamans however, combines healing aspects from the BM build with the offense of a rapid or carrion build, kind of like a hybrid healing build. It also brings the high toughness that many players prefer.

Rabid really hasn’t been run as much. It’s really the full offense build of the group, not bring any sort of addition survival stat on top of the toughness it provides. However, it also has the highest pressure capability due to being able to proc bleeds on crit with no ICD (think landing around a 1k splitblade from bleed damage on the first tick). It would also arguable be the best build to take advantage of warhorn if you wanted to go that route, because hunters call would proc a fair amount of bleeds, making it less of a wasted skill than it has the potential to be in the other two setups.

That being said, for the best mix of offense and defense, the Carrion and Shamans are probably the best way to go.
