Guild Wars 2

I just prefer this type of build to power/signet/zerk builds etc. Power will only get you so far, you blow your load and then what? It’s over for you, the name of the game is sustainment.

A lot of my friends like Faux, Puandro, Sarlack etc all run regen builds but are geared towards different goals, I prefer condition because it offers consistent damage, and I can keep a player weakened/poisoned an entire fight, which is massively overlooked in other types of builds, I’m more for consistent, reliable dmg that I can put on a player from a distance or up close, thats why I prefer this setup, there is literally no matchup with any other class/build out there that you dont have a counter to.

nice build man. that regen nuff said lol.

ya hah, only way to go imo

Thanks bud, glad you enjoyed.

Great job on the vid & build! Ive been trying out variation of builds for my ranger and have come close to the toughness part of the build shown here on this thread, although the longevity of staying alive has always been my problem. Now that i saw this video it gave me a new idea on how to approach the build i’m working right now.

Any chance of sharing the direct damage version of this build for those who have figured it out? Im kinda working on a similar version but i’m intending to balanced condition & direct damage and see if it works out. It would be of greatly appreciated if you don’t mind sharing it.

Actually I’m in the process of uploading my second video that showcases a much more offensive build/setup. Should be up by tonight or tomm, stay tuned.

I dont suggest to go condi/power mix. I play my ranger with a power build.

First one is more defensive than the 2nd one.

Thread discussing power vs condi builds.

What he said, trying to be a jack of all trades, master of none will get you just that, nothing. Go for one or the other, no sense in being 50% effective at something.

@ 15:28 or near that he eats a full 100b so casually lol Bunkers FTW

tnx much for your insights guys. i’m still trying to decide whether i’ll go for power or condition but im looking into condition more. i quite agree that 50% of something is really going to be inefficient, i’m just checking out whether its possible to make a 1/3 of this then 2/3 of that when its comes to power/condi. although i havent tried it yet.

Trust us. It’s not worth it.

With the new content that was added Settler’s stuff, which is the equivalent to Apothecary just about is cheap as hell, you could always have a condi set and a power set for pretty cheap.

What’s this “Settler’s stuff”?

Settler is better than Apothecary in my opinion. I have always prefered the toughness major trait over the healing power one.

Yeah, for 1/19th of the cost, it would be like running Signet of Stone with a full set, I am a toughness junkie myself, my warrior has close to 4k armor. And it deff woulda been easier to get away from Bark Skin. Oh well.

Trying to find info on the Settler’s. Anyone got a link?

Trading post lol

^^^I’m at work, uh, working… ;-)
