What build did you use for Stronghold?
I didn’t really make many changes, except i changed a few things for getting a round faster and more immobs/cripples so i can kite better, since i don’t have to stand on points or anything.
I played a few variants of the longbow ranger and a trapper ranger with shortbow and axe/dagger. Both were very effective, but I tended to win more games playing my trapper ranger than longbow.
The reason for that was the traps allow for more AoE pressure, and conditions can’t easily be cleansed from the doorbreakers which meant any NPCs that walk through the traps are doomed to die. Combine that with a krait runes empowered Entangle and the doorbreakers aren’t getting passed you regardless of how many players are trying to protect them.
If runes of the trapper became available in SPVP such a build would be a powerhouse on this map.
Pre-esports POWA RANGER!!!
There are just so many places to position from.
Am I good?… I’m good.
I used a Carrion Lb S/D 6/2/6/0/0 EB and Remoreslesssoimoth traited for Bleeds and sigils for sowrd set geomancy + genorosity + SoR , lR and Spike Trap + krait runes.
for LB set 7% crit hits + Sigil of corruption tagging with barrage vs npcs to gain 1 point then 5 stacks from any player, i quickly Hit the 25 stack cap.
wilderness knowledge , anguish , EB
Sharpen edges, spotter,remoresless

I didn’t have a lot of time to play this time around so i used a build that work for me last time. Settlers 0/2/6/6/0 a/d-s/wh and all i was try to do was escort door barkers and kill NPC while being under attack form the opposition.
Full “in your face” Power Ranger in defense, with speed signet for mobility and spike on Maul, and Vampirism to get back in base safely when needed.
I went celestial, longbow, traps:
Seems you can go full offense in stronghold.
Space Marine Z [GLTY]
I played a variety of professions and came to the conclusion it doesn’t really matter. Just like in conquest, being in the right place is more important than anything else. I think all the typical meta builds for all professions are fine.
It’s a great map for power LB though, which isn’t always the case.
