Q:

While in WvW tonight I had a couple of duels against what I think is some sort of BM Ranger but to be honest, I’m not certain. She used a dog for a pet but then spawned a couple other pets as well. Anyways, she appeared to have a massive amount of regen and condi removal and just made me look stupid on both my Mesmer and my Warrior. I wish I could tell you more but I’ve not a clue as to what build this was.

I’ve heard since I started playing this game that Rangers are terrible in WvW but she defeated everyone she dueled against. Clearly, your class is underestimated.

No one has ever said this class was a weak dueling class.

Trying to find out what build she might have been using.

Probably just the general condition spam tank. It’s about the only powerful build we have and the good condition clear was probably just their empathic bond ticking 10s and moving 3 condtions to the pet.

No, sounds like the Regen Ranger build. Incredible survival in that one.

Multiple pets out at the same time is not possible. Possibly what you are referring to is the human elite skill hounds of balthazar. That would technically make it look like you summoned 3 dogs. I can’t help with the build honestly since I barely ever play my ranger anymore but I’d wager some tanky regen build.

Anyway, ranger is an excellent dueling class, don’t know where you heard otherwise. By the sounds of it is a boring bunker build which sadly is one of our few effective builds. Am I the only ranger who hates how our good builds are overly passive?

Hardly. Read the sPvP forum. The #1 complaint about this class is how powerful its passive builds are and how ineffective everything else is.

Still waiting for a decent power build option that isn’t “roll zerk and hope to god they never close that longbow gap”

You’re right that f2 skill completely slipped my mind. Like i said I haven’t been on my ranger in ages. I guess the OP’s description felt more like hounds of balthazar than the Hyena f2

I run a power/condi hybrid. Only because our only power builds get hard-countered so easily, greatsword/shortbow for me.

They are the same thing. You can be a ranger using one of the regen GM’s (“a Regen Ranger”) and still build for condi damage. Condi damage is only assumed because this is a 1v1.

OP: There are really only 2 popular dueling specs for rangers at the moment
x/x/30/x/30 – Beast master regen
x/x/30/30/x – Nature’s voice regen

If you are having trouble beating a ranger as a mesmer or warrior, slot perplexity runes. The classes you play have enough interrupts to keep 5-10 stacks of confusion up near permanantly. The downside is, everytime you win with perplexity everyone will know its because of the runes and not because you played well.

Hyena and Ogre runes let you have 3 “pets” out at the same time. Add Hounds of Balthazar with them for the ultimate dog kennel experience.

It could have been spirit build as well, what server was this ranger on?
