Salutations folks. im working on a ranger and i am looking to do the following, please let me know if these are viable for Rangers. and how to achieve it.

1. A condition heavy build relying on Axe/torch and sword/Horn
2. Heavy Damage from Cat/feline type pets to cause enemy to focus on DD rather then the conditions ticking on them.
3. some group utility, i would like to be able to offer some sort of healing/condition removal for allies.

thanks in advance and please feel free to list all ideas to achieve all of the above.

I’m still pretty new with my Ranger, but I’ll give it a go with what I’ve seen so far.

1. A condition heavy build relying on Axe/torch and sword/Horn
Sorta. I keep swapping out which weapons I’m using, but these are consistent winners as far as I’m concerned.
Now, when you say condition “heavy” if you mean stacking a ton of bleeds, close to 100% uptime on Poison and/or Burn, etc. probably not. You won’t be rolling out a ton of DPS with conditions, but you should be able to throw them on consistently enough to pump out damage while being super tanky with Healing Power investment and clever play. You’ll be able to take down flimsy toons relatively quickly and whittle down most bunker builds by just being kitten ed hard to kill and having a decent amount of conditions just about always up.

2. Heavy Damage from Cat/feline type pets to cause enemy to focus on DD rather then the conditions ticking on them.
Not sure what DD is, my brain is being derpy today.
But yes, feline pets deal impressive enough damage for your enemies to be about as busy with them as with you, if that’s what you mean.

3. some group utility, i would like to be able to offer some sort of healing/condition removal for allies.
With the amount of healing power you’ll likely be running, Healing Spring should be pretty amazing for supporting the party. I don’t know that you’ll have too much in the way of condition removal outside of that for the party, but with Healing Spring alone you’re sure to be an asset.

Sorry, this post was probably as unhelpful as saying, “I don’t know” xD;;

Hoopa doopa.

1) Apothecary bunker owns, and uses those weapon sets. Usually you use sword/dagger, but you could swap horn for dagger if that floats your boat.
2) Yes their direct damage is very good and pressures pretty well.
3) Healing spring=one of best water fields in game, Signet of Renewal for group condi cleanse, various pets for group support including moa family, drakes for blast finishers, and even one feline the jungle stalker can give 5 stacks of might.
