tPvP Condition Survival Ranger Guide!
I really like using the hybrid bleeding/poison master build for pvp, but keep in mind that you should also swap to a pure bleeding build or a burning build depending on the enemy’s team setup, its hard to guess this before the battle begins but the subtle differences do make a difference. In case you’re not looking to truly touch up this build, swap out of sigil of stone and grab something more useful. You have lots of choices in this matter but signet of stone won’t help as much as otherwise. I like to grab muddy terrain if I feel that I need to control my enemy more (also quicker condi clearing there), also quickening zephyr is very useful when you stun/immobilize your foe to fill them up with bleeds. I think you get the point, experiment a little but otherwise good stuff… and yes Belgium did great!
Edit: rangers who do like and want to use this build beware, there are ways of getting around this build and it’s not that difficult. You will encounter enemies who will wait for your condition spamming to occur, force you to use all your condition skills and then push you to a corner and kill you. Time your condition application in a consistent rotation, control your enemy all the time, don’t get yourself into a corner. Best test will be to defeat ham bow warriors (the kind that some or less know what they’re doing to begin with).

PS: BELGIUM WON WOOOOOT
This build is great for 1vs1’s. I’ve been using something very close to this in the gambling server with great success.
One thing you can try is dropping Evasive Purity, Natures Protection, Entangle and SoS and pick up Vigorous Spirits, Spirits Unbound, Sun Spirit and Spirit of Nature. This will give you the same condi application pressure along with Burning. It will also give you more survivability via the passive regen, blinds from the spirit and an extra 5 condi removal from Spirit of Natures active. It is actually one of the best 1vs1 Ranger builds available.
