I give you the build that I have been running for a while now. It’s an incredible roamer, there are very few opponents that will give you trouble. Has great stat distribution, leaving you hitting very hard but is still quite tanky. Can hit 100% crit chance with perception stacks and fury, which works wonders on the SB with Air and Fire sigils combined with Omnomberry ghost.

Normally you wouldn’t be using SB in a power spec, but I find that in order to use longbow effectively you need to invest 6 points into Marksmenship. Plus with the SB you can dance around your opponent procing bleeds and making you very difficult to fight against.

Moment of Clarity makes you hit like a truck with your GS if you can get an interrupt. Which is not too difficult as both your stun/daze skills are on 20 second cooldowns. You will become very annoying to fight against when you combine your 3 interrupting weapon abilities coupled with 2 canine knockdowns and the wolf fear.

Conditions are also not much of an issue with the constant cleanse due to empathetic bond and if you get a condi burst simply remove it with your elite on Lyssa rune proc. If they still are bothering you too much swap out signet of stone for renewal as you have ample amounts of toughness.

Traits are pretty straight forward, sharpened edges is optional, it can be swapped out for primal reflexes if you want more vigour. But I find that since we are sitting on 300 condition damage you might as well use it.

The only issue with the build I find is not having constant fury uptime, which can be addressed by using the Moa or swapping elites. Although I find Entangle works wonders with Lyssa runes.

So there you have it, tell me what you think. If you want to test it in tPvP I find this is the closest thing to the build.

Boar Stun/Daze/Fear
You are losing a bit of survivability w/o the Fernhound but it is so worth it.
I can’t believe I forgot about this, thanks for pointing this out guys. So strong.

No one has used a MoC build in our ranger forum ongoing tourney yet, which is just insanity! Represent!

I like it and a bit different from my normal type of play, looks like fun i think i may give it a go with celestial gear tonight.

If running only power gear would be inclined to take primal reflex over sharpening edged, in celestial gear not sure.

If you have the gold, consider taking generosity sigil over fire, Eggyokeo already talked about primal reflex. If you want to add flavor to the build take boar as second pet for more stuns and fear(they also synergise with Moc buff).

You guys forgot about the Boar, which can dig up either with this build a 3-4 sec melee range stun, a 3-4 sec range stun or a fear. Which is pretty dang good even if the boar itself suck.

If you are going to go celestial I would do something more like this http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fNAQJAVRjMq0vaBLusQ1aAChaVA0OGm3UgdBEBPwJDqSsA-TVCEABMcIAEUJImq/QwDAwgLAgWK/Me/h+0FAwRAgUAmLMC-w

Since going cele you are losing quite a bit of power in return for more condi damage and healing power. You can do some serious damage with confusion with all the interrupting skills you have access too with Perplexity runes. I also added in some regeneration to utilize the healing power that you get from cele gear.
