Guild Wars 2

I’d heard the word on the street was Ranger needed some rework, but this guy was fantastic! What build do you think he was running?

Check description on the video? lol

That is the build for the Ele.

You don’t need any special build to beat an ele as a ranger…and if he used wolf/dog it would have been much worse for you :P

Not surprised the ele lost, he had Micheal Bay dancing around him filming the fight.

Sorry I didn’t notice that Youtube screwed with my video Any ideas how to get rid of that kitten? Its normal on my computer…

No comments about the ranger build? It may just be that I’ve only played bad rangers but I’ve never faced one with that kind of sustain before!

Ah I think I fixed the video. Youtube was “autostabalizing” it and messing it up. The edits will take a bit to fix though sorry bout that xD

My guess just from playing a ranger and looking in the wiki… Others might have a better description or example. Anyone else with a possible built type?

Weapon: Short Bow

Skills:

Signet of Stone
Signet of Renewal
Protect Me

Traits:

Steady Focus
Sharpened Edges
Carnivorous Appetite
Primal Reflexes
Shared Anquish
Oakheart Salve
Nature’s Bounty

As mentioned above about defeating Elementalists, I tend to be able to take on a target in WvW and defeat them; it is groups that are difficult to deal with but most 1-on-1 situations I am able to win.

The problem I see is: You keep losing your target for no apparent reason. You should check into not clearing your target constantly, that’d help.

Dropping targets constantly when they go out of your sight is a known bug, not much he can do about it unless he cranks his mouse camera sensitivity up and just keeps spinning his camera around.

There was definitely Quickening Zephyr in there, I saw the debuff under his health bar.

Is this a known bug? I kept being switched to targeting his pet but wasn’t sure why. Keeping on top of targeting is also one of the higher skill caps of playing Elementalist cause you’re often spamming too many keys to take time to tab correctly. Watching the replay, I’m sure that if I played it a bit better I could have won, but I’m assuming the same thing goes for him!

This is honestly the first 1v1 that wasn’t against a guardian that I didn’t win. Before this, Guardian’s were the only class i’d played against that could sustain as much as my build (I’ve mostly played sPvP so probably just because everyone is a glass cannon thief xD ). Its really great to see people branching out with their builds and making the combat more interesting!
