Guild Wars 2

Hey guys!

I’ve been using my ranger to tpvp and I might up this build and been loving how it plays. I geared it for a shout/support ranger. I do pretty well in taking points too and holding off people long enough for backup. But at times I feel like I just melt depending on the other side’s group comp.

The only thing I can think of is changing LR for SoR for the condi removal and maybe switch out the runes for runes of the soldier (is that the one where shouts remove a condition). Also been thinking that the amulet could be changed up a bit too.

Any tips would be appreciated. Thank in advance.

Edit: Forgot to but build in my title. But yeah, “Tips on my SPvP Build Please”. Sorry for my kitten moment.

Well I’d guess you are dying due to a lack of condition removal, but I don’t see how any minor changes will fix that. SoR and Soldier runes would only remove 1 condition every 10 seconds and another every 12, not enough really.

You probably don’t want to use SoR active either since its a beastmaster build, and you’d kill your pet.

This is why 0/0/30/30/10 is the more popular build, using settler amulet, and focusing on condition damage.

Yeah, condis are my weakness. Would you mind posting that build for me please?

Edit:
I’m still kind of new to ranger so here is what I made using the 0/0/30/30/10.

Yep you’ve pretty much got it right there. Only difference is most people would run SotW for the extra regen, and the weapon combos are typically axe/torch and sword/dagger or vice/versa.

Also common rune choices are forge for protection, or melandru for more condition reduction. I like your combo though, I might try that

You can also try it with spirits for more team support:

just run a spirit build. 10 0 30 30 0 with settler amulet and undead runes like most rangers do in tpvp including myself. im so bad i know. although i prefer playing my zerker ranger in hotjoins.

Thank you for your help! About to try out my build and then I’ll try the spirit one you offered.

Meh, I did try the Spirit Ranger once and just didn’t like it. I know they are really good (I have issues with the condis from it on my mesmer) but I just feel that build isn’t for me. Thanks for your help though!

Currently trying this out after a few hotjoin matches. Found I really like LR.

thats really good for 1v1 but thats about it. :P if you can position really well, you can be more useful if you go full glass.

Ugh. Lol. I’ve tried glass too and I really like tanky and condi builds. :P Sorry to be difficult lol. I’m about to try the spirit one that Sube Dai suggested. I switched out the ten in BM to Marksmanship for increased pet condi duration.

P.S. Will say, I’m still fond of my original build but my team and I have been on a losing streak hence the post. Trying to break the streak by changing up builds.

Thank y’all for your help though. Much appreciated.

I would drop the shortbow for axe/torch + sword/dagger. That way you still have range and get some nice extra evades, poison and chill. Or replace the dagger for the warhorn since you have healing spring :P
Maybe replace “Guard” and/or the trait ‘Oakheart Salve’ for something else.

Thanks everyone for your help! <3

After a few rounds of playing around with the various suggestions, this is what I came up with.

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fMAQNBlYDbkoqrusyyC1OAsKAY7BnUip7RpnSaKzaERxC-TsAg2CrIMSZkzIjRSjsGNCYdw+DA

It seems to work fairly well and I’m able to hold on to a point longer. I brought the warhorn back because I miss swiftness on demand. The pets I picked are based off of me wanting to calm down healing sig warriors. POISON ALL THE THINGS!

Again, thanks for your help and suggestions on this will be appreciated as well.
