Guild Wars 2

To OP..are you serious? Your saying stealth is a bad change when everyone has been begging for it since release? wow…And its STEALTH. You don’t know the number of possibilities you can achieve with it now even if its for 3 seconds.

You can actually do more damage with the new skill set up now… I tried this today already all across PvE and WvW…

You can then stealth, then regain opening strike with the Remorseless Trait, apply 5 more stacks of vulnerability + 5 more from your pet.

Remorseless only reapplies opening strike to the ranger, not to the pet. I tested it in the mists just to be sure.

sorry, I made a mistake. Remorseless doesn’t reapply Opening Strike for your Pet when you gain stealth, because only you gain stealth. But I Know it works for when you kill an enemy. Sry for the mix up. But thats still 5 more stacks of might than you would of had with the old setup.

What if it reapplies your pet’s opening strike when your pet gains stealth? Has anyone tried this with a jaguar?

Or even guard perhaps?

Or both?

30/10/0/0/30 catsassin build anyone?

You want a tier 1 DPS build for cof? Here ya go—no longbow! You don’t need longbow here, at all. This is basically what I do in fractals 48 and it’s huge DPS. It’s permanent 25 might stacks on pet. It’s sick.

20 (spotter) / 30 (companion’s might) / 0 / 20 (vigorous spirit/strength of spirit)/ 0

Sword/warhorn and axe/axe with sigils of perception and strength.

Full berserker

Quickening zephyr / frost spirit / optional

Stalker / optional (gap filler pet)

See the thread Mighty Ranger High Level FOTM for more details.

Lol! And rangers wonder why they cannot get into dungeon parties and/or get kicked…

Chopps, you make it out like fractals is the only dungeon in this game, Thankfully it’s not, because I have no interest in fractals. Furthermore, you would never get into my dungeon party with your set-up,

@OP
I am one of the few who actually agrees with you.
For PvE these longbow changes are at best unnecessary, at worse crap. Any ranger who needs 3 sec of stealth off a ranged weapon in PvE is playing the class horribly wrong. Period.

If you want stealth, put it on a melee weapon where it might actually be useful.

The shift of vulnerability to Rapid Fire is just plain stupid.

As for Remorseless, meh …
Buggy trait I will never use and stopped running 30 in marks months ago

High level fractals are some of the most challenging content in the game, if not the most challenging. If his build works there, it will work in any dungeon.
