Guild Wars 2

Ever dulled vs 1H medi gurdain on OS? They have like 13k hp but every time you think you got them down, they put on some kind of Invulnerability/block and heal to max in 2 sec.
The 1H medi guardian can output amzing damage, high crit spikes and strong pressure with extra dps from burning.
How fun would it be for a ranger to do the same, right? So with this build you can and do it, and do it from range.

This build maximize your LB damage without sacrificing survivability and mobility.

The build – http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fNAQNBjYD7kRFaZxaBxhF4axA9B16HIAG7m/wKwcC+AA-TVCFABVfEAa7CAAwDAoQ1fuSJISK/Af/h00NswBBQUQrF-w

Food(important, not in calculator) -

Pets (not in calculator), many options (wolfs, spiders, siamoth, drake,moa, birds, cats)

The main concept :
Attacking – your attacking pattern consists with your basic LB rotation only with one twist, you have horn , sharpened edges, 70% crit chance with fury and 50% condi duration(with food). hunters call rapid fire can put like 15 bleeds on target in addition to your crazy power damage – the bleeds function the same way burn functions for medi guardian, it puts extra pressure but you don’t really relay on it as a main source of damage.
The food is important to put you on 50% condi duration cus bleeds counts for a complete second only.

Defensive – here it where it gets really interesting , with rune of the defender+HS+horn(all on 30 sec CD) +Sword 2 you can heal from 25% to full hp in 2 sec. you have your SoS and protect me to not get below 25% and die from a random crit. Because you have 2 Invulnerability skills to 60sec CD you can use this rotation every 30sec(synchronized with HS,defender rune, horn etc..)
So basically every 30 sec you go back to full hp and there is almost nothing your foe can do about it. The extra regen from HS is just a bonus and you have enough condi defence to keep up with most fight, VS super condi builds just change protect me to SOR.

If the new changes to RaO and “hide in plain sight” are true, you’r even stronger.

What do you guys think?

Looks like it’ll be strong against power builds just like most longbow builds but it’ll still get wrecked by condi builds. All they will have to do is draw out your HS and then load you up with condi’s. Swapping to SoR would help but you don’t always get a chance to do that before getting into a fight.

I get that you want the bleed procs from warhorn but it looks like rune of the defender synergizes a lot better with GS than it does sword.

Still, it definitely looks like it could be a lot of fun. People tend to panic when you hit them with hybrid builds.

I had a sword/focus guard mop the floor with my ranger about 5 times in a row, was horrible.

Hi man, you misunderstood my intentions, the horn is mostly of the swiftness adn fury uptime(no soth on this build) secondary reasons are the blast finisher and the hunters call +bleeds combo. Gs sux for this build cus it ruins the timing of the rune healing with GS 4. GS-BL builds go very well with soth for maul combo, this build offers somthing different.
Regarding the condi argument, you have good condi defence on this build, better thatn most LB builds – HS, 2 sigils, SoR(if u change protect me), your food(-40% condi duration) and your healing capabilities which are much better than the average Power lB builds.

@Justine.6351
Hi man, i think you arre missing the point if i remember correctly you actually understand the power of bleeds on LB and use it on your build with mad king rune.
