Some footage from a few hours of WvW. My first vid so don’t expect any fancy flashy editing. This was recorded on a friends desktop so it was quite a challenge playing with an unfamiliar keyboard+mouse setup. I would like to upload more but my comp is a piece of kitten.

could you go into specifics? I’ve been trying to find something to replace my 0/0/30/10/30 bunker and I’ve never tried out traps exclusively before, other than sometimes using flame trap in dungeons.

That was great gameplay, making use of your pet skills, combo fields and all. Too bad you were outnumbered most of the time.

Nice vid! Is really hard to see a ranger making good use of his class in WvW!
And all those who ran away from a 1vs1 or 2vs1 and then turned back when reinforcements arrived, shaaaame on you!!!!!!!

I go 30 in skirmishing to pick up the master and grandmaster trap traits, for adept slot I use Primal reflexes but you can also go Pets prowess which is awesome when using cats or birds.

15 in Wilderness for protection on dodge, you can use anything for the major trait but I mainly use Vigorous renewal which goes well with healing spring.

10 nature magic for Natures protection or Natures bounty

15 in BM. I use Mighty swap because nothing else really fits. Loud whistle makes keeping your pets alive way easier and reduces the cooldown on quick swap quickness. Its also great with double canines because pet swap resets both the activated and non activated pet abilities so they can fire off brutal charge+howl every ~15 seconds instead of 20.

For gear I use Apothecary armor and weapons with rapid trinkets from the temples with clerics jewels in them. If you got gold you can get the apothecary trinkets but they are like 35g ea.

Runes of the undead, they are effective and dirt cheap.

Double sigil of Energy for guaranteed dodge roll on weapon swap.

For utilities I mostly use Flame trap+Spike trap and a stun break or a signet in the third slot.

Thanks for posting. I had a good laugh at the Yak’s Bend thief who’s apparently been playing long enough to farm up a legendary but hasn’t the slightest idea how to play the game still. Unreal.
