Guild Wars 2

So, I’m about to ding 80 on my ranger and I was wondering about current ranger builds in WvW.

What armor/accessories should I be going for?

What build(s) should I be using?

What pets do you recommend?

83 views and not a single nugget of advice?

well, i cant tell whats the best build for WvW, i can only say what i´ve tried and what i am using.
at the moment i use full soldiers armor and accessories, with superior rune of the earth.
Traits are 30/30/5/0/5 with
Marksmanship: I, IV, XI
Skirmishing: I, V, VI
Utilities are Healing spring, OZ, signet of the hunt, signet of stone and rampage as one.
Pets are Wolf (the grey one with aoe fear) and jaguar.
Weapons are GS/LB.
This build was designed to go melee with the GS and the LB for keepdefense/offense.
I have 20% crit. chance and 36 crit damage (unbuffed).
It is not the best build, but is a build i really like, because i dont rely as much on my pet as a beastmaster build does.
I still have around 2900 armor and 21k health so i can stay alive for a while.
hope this helps you a bit

Well I’m almost pure glass, 15k hp. 30/30/10. Running alone is a bit harsh, but in group with LB and Axe/WH I’m able to do some decent damage. Steady focus, eagle eye and signet of the beastmaster at marksmanship + (change every time I go www) on skirmishing + expertise training on wild survival. Pets are cave and jungle spiders. Protect me, signet of stone, QZ and Rampage as One.

20/20/0/30/0 exotic Longbow + Shortbow. Utility: Heal as one, stone spirit, frost spirit, sun spirit and take root (sylvari elite, otherwise rampage as one or entangle). Traits: Markmanship and skirmishing the longbow and shortbow buffs. Nature magic: all spirit buff traits. Exotic armor with mixed stats, superior runes of melandru. Accessory: exotics mixed, but primarily major toughness. 21 k health, enough toughness and enough damage. This is a spirit build which requires practise to make it work. Since I have no investment in beastmastery I run tanky pets, double devourers

Philosophy: Dead ranger= 0 DPS. I use full Dwayna armor which is basically Power/Toughness/Vitality equipment with a splash of Precision and healing power. Gives you a lot of healing though for set bonus. With it 24k health, my TU ticks at 906.. Heal Spring 5339/3283 and Heal as one is 7000.

I use 20 (IV, X)/5/25(VI, IX)/20(IV, V)/0 build. With a wolf and a Bear. The Bear is for when I pop pet takes damage. LB/ Axe & Horn.

I can be a pain on keep defenses with this build, do nice support damage when running in groups and not kill a sole when alone.

Good luck.
