Guild Wars 2

I am fairly new and rolled a ranger as my first character. So far I have had no issues running dungeons, I stow my pet between fights and I run a sword/torch combo (shortbow or long bow for distance support if the situation calls for it) with +condition dmg gear, and spam fire trap, all my torch attacks are fire dmg over time, and sword also has two condition dmg moves (one being poison). Maybe the people I run with are poorly geared. I mean I am using vigil medium armor and some random exotic weapons. So how much more poorly geared than me can they be than me? I concentrated on +power, +vitality equips as well, which some people in my guild said was a bad idea. Im sure the cringed when I told them I built my ranger as a damage over time dealer with +condition dmg boost lol.

I have found my damage to be far more the sufficient (sometimes even top in the run), and my survivability is pretty kitten high as two of my sword attacks have built in dodges that don’t use up my stamina pool for regular dodges.

Hell I made a norn warrior, and he seems get get faced rolled quit often in dungeons unlike my ranger who just seems to have a far greater ability to stay alive and deal damage.
