Guild Wars 2

Hey everyone,

My build is BM/Bunker but I would like to give the trapper/condition ranger a shot. Does anyone have a basic trap/condition build that I could start with?

I’m so BM/Bunker focused that’s hard to give up some traits I’m so used to having. An example would be natures protection from the NM line. It has saved me many times. I’m so used to having at a minimum of 15 in WC for protection.

Do most of you not spec in NM at all for trap ranger or only 5?
Do you need to spec a full 30 in skirmishing to get all the trap traits?
Do you spec 5 in BM for quickness?

Sorry for so many questions. A build to get me started would be nice.

I want to give it a shot. My BM/Bunker build is great but I want to change things up a bit.

I have a hard time weening myself off of the 0/0/30/10/30 BM/Bunker build. I hit like a wet noodle, but love the “WTF?!” look Thieves give me after their burst fails to drop me. Still, Wetpaw’s trait makeup looks like it’d still provide the same or similar toughness (minus regen), but would give all the CD from WS something to do.

I dont use quickness part from the rune of my 2hander.
I dont hit with my 2hander to much but when i do, i will get quickness.

Nature protection is alot better than barkskin, you also share boons with pet and 20% boon duration.

I use undead runes, but thinking about 6 runes from arah, but that will take some work to get.

This is the build I stick with (dual bows because I roll like that). Pets are up to you (as you don’t really need them alive to do well with this build), and if you stick with Soldier type armor (gives pow/tough/vit bonuses), you’ll find yourself surviving quite well. It may get a little more dicey due to not being able to take as much as a bunker and having your pet taken out more often, but it works.
