Guild Wars 2

This is build is specifically for pvp.

The main idea here was to main rifle, without using the burst skill. Killing shot casting takes too long to cast and is often easily mitigated in by CC or dodge.

Auto attacks with rifle crits appoximately 1k, with the sigil of fire to increase the dps. Staying out of enemy range is one of the key element of survival. Use skill 2 then 4 then 3, other then that just keep AA. With 5 stances, you can keep getting constant vigor, which allows you to dodge pretty often.

If the enemy gets too close, you can either use skill 5 on rifle to push them back and volley shot or pop endure pain and Hundred blades in their face. Thats why with hydromancy, it slows them and they would probably eat about 3to5 hits, especially theives lol afterwhich just WW through them and throw you gs towards then and switch back to rifle. This should put some distance away.

This build works pretty in big areas that you can use your gs skills efficiently.

The only bad thing about this build is conditions and small areas. You dont really have tons of con cleansing, rifle doesnt work well in small areas too. Its better to switch rifle to hammer, if you know the map has many small areas.

Feel free to leave some comments, please dont however, sugguest using bows or other weaps. Thankssssss

why doliak runes tho? i feel yolo build should have scholar runes or something similar :p

this is the right build. that build earlier was posted through my phone, some error i supposed. its 3 stances. xD

0 condi cleanse apart from generosity, which is only 1 every 10-15 seconds… Anything condi will eat right through you.

Also, I don’t understand why dolyak… You will generally be eating a lot of damage, so offensive runes would work better then a little regen.

This would allow better condi cleanse through GS burst and swapping weapons. Leg Specialist does not add enough on this build to matter IMO, as you don’t use it to land a burst (like with Axe or Hammer). And in PvP, if your opponent wants to get close, he will.

The main problem with rifle is that outside of volley, it doesn’t do any reliable, sustained damage at all. The auto-attack doesn’t do a whole lot of damage.

What makes the Ranger Longbow mildly successful in pvp play and very good for dueling/roaming builds is that it has a better rate of fire when traited and that it does so much more damage on the auto attack. Plus it has stealth for repositioning, AoE CC and sword is a very good compliment to it for kiting.

However with the rifle it is much harder to reposition yourself when somebody gets in your face. Whirlwind doesn’t take you that far, Rush isn’t quick enough many times for you to widen the gap, switch to rifle then burst with volley.

GS kind of falls in the same boat, it lacks reliable damage if it isn’t paired up with CC. You could put air + fire on your GS, however I doubt you would put air + fire on both weapons.

And Leg specialist won’t really help you here tbh and you definitely need better condi cleanse. I would put the 2 points into discipline, either get Brawler’s Recovery or Heightened Focus. Also I would switch Last Stand for Cleansing Ire. You may find moments where you could use Arcing Slice or Kill Shot from atop terrain and stuff. I would also straight up go Strength Runes for more damage.

Well, i didnt really put doylat signet in the build. The 3 utlities i put were berserker stance, endure pain and last balance. Thats why i mention i have 5 stances, tgt with 2 from the triats. Lol. Must have been some bug with the link i post, or i put it wrongly.

I wouldnt use cleansing ire in this build because arching slice and killing shot is pretty unreliable. For example, if i were to use killing shot. I would most probably by sniping far away, where it is unlikely i would receive conditions. Arching slice just isnt that great, since i am mainly camping in rifle.

Yeah, conditions kills me pretty fast. Usually against heavy condi professions, i would use purity + generousity. I might even take away leg specialist for brawler recovery.

I too feel leg specialist is abit redundant. It is only good to provide some sort of cc in range for your team, or prevent other peeps from running.

I tried hoelbrak and melandru both before, both of them provided near same dps tho. With armour attack, i got about 2.1k atk whereas with hoelbrak i too get 2.1k attack. Might stack isnt really that attractive, since only signet of rage provided me with might.

I was thinking if heigthen focus is worth investing, since i dont really use burst skill that often. 15% crit chance with almost as good as a fury, tgt with fury i can get about 80 to 90% crit.

Well, if the enemy gets into my face. Which is usually guardians and theif, i would pop endure pain and use my hundred blades immediatelly, ww and skill4. This would do substantial dmg to them unless they dodge away, which is also pretty much my plan. Then i will use rifle skills to shoot them again lol.

This build in fact works pretty well against ranger on 1v1, since we have healing signet and higher health pool, together with endure pain, i would usually win in the long range battle. This build also work against eng in 1v1. Volley shots are pretty painful when combine with sigil of fire.

Dolyak RUNES are what they’re wondering about. And me too. I’ve thrown together what I run with rifle. Now this is kind of hard to pull off but it works. Also, when talking about 1v1, take air instead of fire. Air does more damage on shorter CD to single targets, where fire does less on a longer cd but it’s an AoE.

93% crit chance with fury and full adrenal bar. Lyssa runes+signet elite on 48 secs and zerk stance for condi removal.
