Guild Wars 2

I need an advice or tips. I know before I said I was going to save wvw when I get bored of pve. Currently, I decided to check the new map for the first time today, Edge of the mist with my 37 ranger. I just wanted to take a break from grinding for a while, and i want to know which two pets are best for zerg vs zerg?. At the moment, I use LastTail, spider, then sometimes wolf/brown bear.

if you are zerging… forget about sending in you’re pet haha.
Put that sucker on passive and just use w/e pets grant you buffs. stalker/moa for might/fury stack respectively

trust me.. pets are absolutely dead because they just stay in red circles all herpy kitten when you zerg, no point in even trying to use pets. just keep em by you’re side while you pew pew and they buff you.

Bring river drake. Tanky and has cleave.

if you use a ranger for zerg surfing in WvW, you are doing something wrong; if you use a ranger and do zerg surfing w/o siamoth , you are doing something seriously wrong.
Siamoth might not be the best pet for ranger, but it’s a necessary pet for ranger in WvW. You can carry another what ever pet you want, but you always want a siamoth, always, always.
Go try it, then you know why. it simply bring range to another level.

This is a hot topic in WvW.

Personally (and I know a lot of rangers prefer this) I use a wolf and drakehound. I can also recommend a wolf and jungle spider.

I play as a roamer and zerg surfer. Keep your pets on you and pick off things like thieves, eles, necros, wounded warriors and etc. CC pets pick off the edges of the zerg.

You’ll get some answers from people who like to ride in the middle of zergs like pigs and bears and drakes. Those are probably people throwing traps or going full-on greatsword damage tank.

um I haven’t been in wvw in a long time. I guess edge of the mist is part of wvw. Now when I say zerg, when I go there, I always, i mean I always see numbers. If i dont follow my team, there will be more than 5 people jumping on me. Twice about 20 chased me down by myself.. That’s whY I follow where the my team are, because I get loots, chest rewards, I level up too. Is it better in wvw (battle ground) then edge of the mist?.

Well if you like the zerg or happen to always be in one, trait as a toughness/power ranger so that you can dish out a ton of damage while staying alive. You can use canines for pets because your job as a ranger will be to target the enemies strategically. Using a longbow and the distance you can find say for example a frontline warrior, using 3 to sneak up and 2 to rain pain on them, then 4 to push them away from the group. If you do it right and have the opportunity to focus on the warrior, swap to greatsword, 3 leap into them, send your canines to stomp and swap to restomp on them. If you are fighting in a team or in a zerg it’s quite likely that someone will notice what you are doing and give you a hand. Now the execution of all this will depend a lot on your experience so be patient. I suggest a signet build so that you can sustain more damage via signet of stone.

To make things short and sweet, I made this build for zerg surfing: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fMUQJATRjEVN29VGWo2Bi1DCFoB1ewJLdeXBUdyGq0K-jQCB4fDRjgIY0HJKBqIasF4FRjVXDT7KpqXRWFDQIgQLAA-e

P.S.: please get your ranger to level 80 if you want to be of any value in WvW.
