Guild Wars 2

I want to propose my own build/tactic that I used during fight with Tequatl. It is simple and will give you constant high damage by evading most of the dragon attacks.
Main point is that you must stand out of waves and fear range. So we need Longbow with 1500 range (taken in traits). In this distance the only thing you need to worry is poison areas, but they can be easily evaded as you are standing not in the crowd and you will have only a few of them during fight.
Another thing is that in this safe place you can have spirits stand near you most of the time.
Also I found not much profit from pets attacks, as they die to fast. So I just use Jungle Stalker to give me Might in combination with Bountiful Hunter trait.
So here is my build based on Longbow and Spirits:

Some explanations:
Steady Focus – most of the time you don’t need to evade anything, so you will have +10% damage with this trait
Eagle Eye – for 1500 longbow range
Primal Reflexes – there is no other useful traits in Adept for this branch, but this one at least will sometime affect Steady Focus
Quick Draw – used for faster cooldown of Rapid Fire (longbow skill 2)
Vigorous Spirits – higher chance for profit from spirits
Strength of Spirit – increases Power characteristic, as it is most usefull one for this encounter
Hunter’s Tactics – constant +10% damage as we always stands from the side of dragon
Bountiful Hunter – most usefull trait for last 5 points we have. By using pet with Might boun and using Healing Spring all the time, we will have +5% damage most of the time.
Quickening Zephyr – to increase damage from Long Range Shot, which is you main skill
Frost Spirit – 70% change to get +10% damage with a hit
Sun Spirit – 70% change to make dragon burn with a hit (the only condition that doesn’t get overriden all the time)
Spirit of Nature – there is no very usefull elite skills for ranger himself, but with this one you can help other player when lot of them was downed by some attack

During fight you must use mostly skill 1. Skill 2 with all other utilities (except elite) must be used as often as possible. Keep an eye on a poison areas that can appear under you and bouns that you should try to have all the time.
You should remember that World Bosses immune to critical hits and also conditions get overridden constantly. So use PTV (Power Toughness Vitality) gear for this purpose.

Mostly that’s all. Hope this will be helpfull for someone)

Annnndddd this is why rangers get a bad rep… The fight is suppose to be about teamwork and you are simply ignoring everyone else in the battle to be selfish.

Other than that, yeah, its a good build for Teq. I would prefer using a mix of Soldier and Valkyrie. We dont need too much Toughness, if we are attacking the dragon, we wont get hit much by enemies. The only thing to worry about is the Tidal wave and the poison which will be negated by your high HP from your gear. I run full Valkyrie (Can also mix in Cleric for added healing power) for this fight because I’m using my ranger to defend the turrets. I find this role to be best for the class IMO since Pet’s are insta down when in front of Teq. Spirits, healing spring and pet support are perfect for buffing and protecting turret users. The power and crit damage are for the waves of enemies rushing to the turrets.

Pretty decent a group of rangers running this would have not trouble with Tequatl and would help keep each other up because you cant count on turrets for the buff.

The only thing to worry about is the Tidal wave

The whole point of the post is to suggest staying at 1500 range specifically because you avoid the tidal wave (and the fear, too). I arrived at the same conclusion when I tried Teq on my ranger.

It is ridiculously easy to constantly DPS at 1500 range. I’m pretty sure 100 rangers could cheese-kill Teq this way without the need for any real significant coordination.

I run this as a pure Teq damage build.

I use sigil and potion of undead slaying.

3716 attack
+45% damage
and way too much survivability

Is there any way I could increase my DPS on teq?
