Guild Wars 2

That should be interesting.

Could make some interesting Trap Ranger Builds with that.

As nice as that sounds, I can only imagine the new influx of people thinking it’s a good idea in dungeons -.-

Sounds like a decent set for spirit ranger as well, although I think I’d prefer traps for wvw atm.

The condition version of soldiers basically?

Apothecary is still better.

Running BM Bunker, yea Apothecary is still better.

But Trap Build or Spirit Build, I might consider Dire Stats

Proof of those stats coming?

Explorer’s recipes will be replaced with the Assassin’s stat combo (Precision, Power, Critical Damage)
Traveler’s drops will be replaced with the Dire Stat Combo (Condition Damage, Toughness, Vitality)
Pillagers recipes will be replaced with the Hunter’s stat combo (Precision, Power)

Does nobody else feel that this is the prelude to an across the board condition damage reduction?

It must be. This gear will make necromancer and engi god tier.

Wait, you mean in PvP, which most players don’t care about?

rofl, you could be right Euran, they said they weren’t nerfing Spirit Rangers, maybe cause they’re about to nerf all Conditions in all modes cause of SPvP, cause that’s how they roll..

I can see them completely break the game over a crap mode everyone thinks suck and will never be an esport

It sounds great. Soldiers gear is already a perfect match for the Ranger, when it comes to power builds, so this should work out very well. I might change my magic find gear to this, and go for a CC build.

As a trapper running Carrion, I’d be very happy with these new Dire stats. Can’t wait!

Funny, that was my exact thought.
