I want to spec my ranger purely for wvvw running with a zerg and some survivability during 1v1 or at least enough to get away from 2v1 fights. What would be the ideal split of traits to maximize damage and some skills that would be the most useful. So far I have 20 marksman and 20 skirmish but not sure how to split up the remaining 30. Thanks

Well for me I go a pure Power/Precision/Crit build and LB for WvW. I’ve found myself taking a 20/20 for the same area’s then the last 30 i tinkered with.

I tried traps…pretty useless…range is to short to be practical for synergy with bows. Tried spirits…gimmicky….maybe useful if you use shortbows cuz of the attackspeed to get off crits at a quicker rate than say a LB. Again though…utilities end up shot as a result. Your general options then fall to BM or Survival. Bm is ok if u want to build up a tanky pet n use “protect me” or something…but it isnt overly necessary.

So i found going a hard 30 in survival would end up best. focus on vigor and getting bark skin for ur GM trait. Idea is…if you build glass…your not looking to sustain..if you get swamped..your dead so dont worry about wasting points in long term survival. Dodge rolls and bark skin help simply mitigate damage till you can get out to safety or back to your own zerg; Lightning reflex’s helps this greatly.

Howver, if you feel u dont need safety and just want DPS….I’ve personally switched to 30/25/0/15/0. Just dont run around solo for no reason and look to aid groups and you should drop people with a LB within a few shots…more so squishy people…it isnt pretty,lol…

If your looking for more a bunker esk build…your gonna want to go for what other people do which is 0/0/20/20/30 ( the 20/20 u can play with for w/e u feel is best ). You’ll lose DPS but you’ll be alot more tanky and heal better; You’ll want PVT or Preferably Clerics Equipment for that.

thanks for the tips think I am looking for a more dps build. I tried the more bunker type of build and couldn’t get far anyways when caught solo against a couple of others
