What build you suggest for WvW & Roaming
you will find something in this thread
Keep in mind a build good for roaming is not always good for zerging and vice verser
You’re obviously going to want a LB build because that’s one of the main ways rangers are useful in zergs is through back line sniping and support. Conditions are useless as there’s so much condi cleanse.
The rest is up to you but i recommend not traiting into BM as your pet spends half of the major fights dead.

Ignore this, no idea “who let this guy in here” a dead pet is a sign of a poor ranger who doesnt manage the pet well, if at all.
BM is not just about pets and has a few good options in it.
Resounding timbre gives you regen and swiftness, really good in roaming builds for mobility about the map and regen can be used to outpace conditions, there’s a gs/s+a build out there uses this for great effect.
Also for roaming, "Go For The Eyes gives on demand blinds
Two handed training also gives you swoop more often for mobility or escapes and a source of fury for remorseless.
Lastly honed axes is great if you use mainhand axe in a frontline build, or Zephyrs speed cos who doesnt love the extra burst or safe stomps quickness allows?
While roaming, Beastly warden provides you an on demand interrupt and prevents classes such as guardian use their stunbreaks that require a target (like judges intervention)
Personally I use this

As part of a 5 man focus party, my job is back line immob and necros. Swoop in, entangle, LR out. Sic em is great for enemy mesmers and thieves, removing their ability to stealth and making them prime targets for the rest of the group when they’ve finished their current burst target.

Such a hater. Haters keep on hatin’.
This is what I’m currently running with for roaming:
http://intothemists.com/calc/?build=-K;5FFy-x2cDF-0;9F89;1Z_b;0246137036;4SJ06K;1mAjwmAjwPSlNFKsYN;3f1A4f6A9fBA9eWPk4RWAisXAi;9;9;9;9;9;4V6-7u
Side note, you’d also want to pickup a Longbow for tagging, and I usually use Signet of the Hunt when going from camp to camp.
It has good survivability/mobility, as well as excellent escape should you decide a specific fight is not for you. Passable condition clearing, good field manipulation, plenty of self-might, and solid harassment. With it I can flip a camp in just under a minute from engagement to just waiting on the circle to turn. Thanks to the traps I can also handle it if reinforcements show up.
It’s worth noting that this build will NOT zerg well, nor is it strong at dueling. It does, however, annoy the crap out of small squads I come across and can be a strong forward scout/roamer.

You can fake a zerg build in most cases by simply slotting SoS and/or SotW on your normal roaming build. I do that pretty often if I want to help with a big keep fight.
