Guild Wars 2

hi there. so i made a ranger purely because of gs/lb . not interested in the other stuff atm.
but i cant seem to get maul to high those high numbers even with full zerker

got SotH already which did seem to help abit. most it seems to crit is about 5k

any other tips?

25 stacks of bloodlust, jungle stalker f2 (5 stacks of might), SotW (3 stacks of might and +25% damage), SoS (3 stacks of might + invulnerability for the scholar runes), open with rapid fire (applies 15 stacks of vulnerability), swap pets (3 stacks of might), barrage, swap weapons (3 stacks of might), swoop, hilt bash (moment of clarity +50% damage proc), SotH (3 stacks of might + additional +50% damage proc), maul (applies 5 stacks of vulnerability)

this gives you 20 stacks of might and a 9k+ maul if every damage modifier procs

if ur going full zerk, use this build:

+X% DMG sigil, Rune, trait, frost spirit and hell lot of MIGHT
Try to stack these up before you get killed 2 times
Works in PVE. Not in any kind of PVP

If you just want big opening mauls, you probably want this thread:

I think most of Bababu’s more balanced build (less burst, more sustain) still applies despite almost a year of tweaks to ranger.

Not sure how well these translate to PvP, but it should give you some ideas. Don’t underestimate OH axe either. Axe 4 is the third highest damage coefficient skill for ranger (after Maul and the kick after GS block), and can hit 3x if everything is lined up right. Once going out, once coming back which pulls the target towards you, and a third time on the pulled target.
