Ideally you go sword/axe+longbow.
In unorganized groups where you need to sustain yourself because your team doesn’t do it for you sword/axe+offhand dagger is fine. Or offhand warhorn if your group lacks fury. Greatsword is really not good damage.
Offhand skills can be used to cancel the sword root which is also beneficial in the whole not dying thing.
Oh and you have traited spirits but no frost spirit. I guess that’s a mistake and not deliberate.
Oops yea I meant to put frost spirit in there instead of Signet of the Hunt. But It’s important to have SotH ready because it’s a huge part of mobility for the class and is almost required to be able to skip in Arah. But you’re right, for the actual fights I should have frost spirit up as much as possible. Could you explain why axe is worth it? Is it only for the very slightly higher DPS on the #4? I feel like in most PuGs fury does not come often so S/WH would be a better option (Also the blast finisher can work well with healing spring to give your team some sustain). But thanks for the info on Greatsword. I guess I’ll be going with LB then. Maybe I’ll keep a GS ready in my inventory when the swoop is helpful (skipping). Do you have any tips on my traits? Or should I continue going with the meta build.
I don’t understand what you’re getting at. Rangers are above average in both group and solo Arah runs, what more could you make fun of? 5 man bearbow parties?
Yea I agree. It’s just some PuGs don’t know thats and I even got kicked for being a ranger once. I don’t think it’s really because they think ranger is bad, but that they would prefer guardian, mesmer, ele, etc.
So I know ranger is not considered to be the ideal dungeon class let alone Arah class but I disagree. The amount of support ranger can give and still deal out intense damage is something that can really help a dungeon run. So I was wondering what the best ranger build for Arah would be.
Here are my thoughts and what I think is a decent:
So the thing I am most unsure of is whether to go LB or GS. I am pretty sure sword+warhorn is good but I’m not sure if LB is worth getting rid of the sustain. In dungeon guides like gw2dungeon.net they suggest GS but I’m not sure if this is outdated info from before the LB #2 patch. Well anyways, I could be wrong about the entire build but I just want to know your guy’s thoughts on what the best would be (for the entire build not just the weapons).
