Guild Wars 2

Nope, no one was asking me about my build.
Its far from optimal for spvp, and when compared to other classes in specifics sure some will fill the role better.

I bought the game to play whats fun for me in my spare time, not whats optimal or what is the meta. Not taking away from others that may do this, its just not my cup of tea. Ive been angry with the game, but with the addition of read the wind I can live with my ranger longbow now.

That being said, here is what I use in spvp with moderate success

Thats all folks have a good one

Three Minutes

I assume you meant to put in a LB instead of a SB?

At any rate, have you tried this in WvW? IMO you’ll have a lot more fun with it there. LB in conquest is like shoving a turtle in to a sweater, makes no sense. Confined spaces which nullify the main advantage of a LB, the requirement of fighting on a point or being relatively useless, highly coordinated attacks on weak targets… it’s no good for LB glass. In WvW roaming LBs can shine a bit more.

Or if you meant for hotjoin, ya rock on. My record is 26 “kills” with a LB in hotjoin.

Edit: Oh, forgot the most important thing. WvW LBs hit like a mac truck. Food, ascended gear with infusions, higher ferocity, people with lesser gear… makes it so much easier to play glass.

Aye fluffball I did mean to put longbow

I use this build for wvw and spvp. Just recently though ive been doing more spvp.

Confined spaces do hurt such as skyhammer… that being said the counter is there are also maps amplify the lb range

Fighting on point or being relatively useless really depends on your team. If you frame the picture in such a small window sure this would hold true. I use the spec to roam and assist, not to fight 1v1… similar to a thieves role. Which does bring me to the original post where there is classes that do this better… ie a thief.

LB seems to do me just fine in spvp so far

you might want to consider something like companions might over sharpened edges since you have 0 condition damage.
