Guild Wars 2

A balance of support, survivability, utility, and damage. But does it try to do too many things?

Looks alright. I have a slightly different build, which I use for WvW and PvE (including fractals level 20+) which you might like to see:

(I use Ruby Orbs instead of Runes of the Ranger)

My damage comes from traits, armor stats, runes and sigils.
My survivibility comes from 15 points in toughness trait line, passive bear pets using Protect Me and Signet of the hunt for speed and signet of renewel for conditions.

I basically have to stay at range at all times and dodge when needed. The 50% energy regen from traits allows me to dodge more often and allows me to keep the 10% damage buff from marksman 1 up most of the time.

Good positions to be are at the back of group battles and on top of walls. A great way to run through an enemy zerg into your tower is by using Rampage as One for the speed and stability, and dodge roll for the evades and the protection, and Protect Me for the extra health, and signet of renewal for immobilize/cripple/freeze. I rarely don’t make it into a tower alive. Try to stay out of view for as long as possible though.

For fractals I change Signet of the Hunt to Search and Rescue (remember my bear pets are on passive so available for both Protect Me and Search and Rescue most of the time), and I change my elite to Spirit of Nature. This suddenly gives me great utility for the team by reviving team mates. Spirit of Nature only works on downed allies, but can revive multiple at the same time quickly and it also provides a nice health regen afterwards. Search and Rescue works on both downed and dead allies. It’s a great utility to be able to revive a dead ally while continue-ing the battle. I think quickening zephir makes it even better, but I haven’t tried it.

Hi. I am focused on WvW and I use a very similar build. Same trait allocation except I don’t usually take spotter. (I swap the longbow trait and piercing arrows for wvw and pve respectively).

Divinity runes are what I use, and are the strongest option in my opinion since short bow rangers really can make use of pretty much every stat. And I also consider Quickening Zephyr an absolute must, so I would swap that for lightning reflexes.

Other than that… nice build.

hi i am a BM ranger and now i start to make a berserker equip, one question abaut this build, ¿Armor and jewell berserker? or jewell soldier?

Good comments. I agree about QZ, I’ve been using LR as a defensive crutch while leveling in WvW. Being under 80 puts a bullseye on me.

I like the longbow buff and piercing arrows traits as well, although I always feel obliged to pick some group buff abilities for my teammates.

I need to tame more pets and experiment with more of them (and with different combos), I’ve been using 2 dogs only for a while, (which are great), but I think there is a lot of room for diversity and utility there.

I like it. However, I may never give up my 5 points in BM. It works too good with rapid fire in WvW, and is fun.
