Guild Wars 2

Sweet, just makes me sad to see the wolf limping around through the whole fight

Ah that’s cool I forgot about the normal speed difference once in combat, I run soh so much I can’t remember running normal speed I don’t think I could ever go back if I think the 25% feels slow

To OP, sry for the tangent…

So I get both in and out o combat speed but only feels like it’s out o combat?

Sry it’s early here

Mako.1942:

Doesn’t sig of the hunt reduce to normal speed once engaged? I run with it in every build but it feels like it’s only a non combative 25%?

I did not know that about the longbow #3

Nope you just get a 25% increase to the noncombat speed which puts you A LOT faster than combat speed.

IE: you just run a hell of a lot faster out of combat, but still maintain the 25% in combat.

I’m confused

Yea it just means you can’t have a decent pet and do decent dmg, plus If you invest 30 on bm you have to put at least 10 in crit for the +30% pet speed else it’s all to waste in pvp. Having a nails jag that can’t catch the target I ussssseless and an expensive 30 trait points for 300 healing, a bit of regen and pet that never dies but never does any dmg lol.

So in theory I need to use 40 trait points to get the pet to be any use really…
Works a bit better in wvw when they don’t know flea bag is chewing the trousers off them from behind.

+14.1% damage
+14.28% crit chance
+3,000 health
+14.1% damage mitigation

Now ask yourself, is it worth roughly 40+% of your trait points to make your pet 14% better?

Aww I can’t open link, got my interest up on how bad it possibly is

I’d have to disagree with the 2 people above. I spend al lmy time in WvW, and even in zerg battles you can easily have 1v1 style battles. Just stop spamming AoE randomly at the enermy and think you’re helping and pick one target whose close to you and you think you can take down quickly and then do it. Thats what berserker rangers are for, fast kills at distance. Its very easy if you do it right because they usually have no clue whos hitting them or that they are even being targetted until its too late.

Agree with this, I play condition power sb build in wvw and in Zerg just target 1 guy, they don’t know who’s attacking, when they get low on hp they try turning and running, pop qz and boom sb bleed time. Throw in piercing arrows and you get some decent aoe also from the sb in zerg’s. Going off on one… Point is 1v1 happens all the time in Zerg.

You run Past a few mobs to get to a quest etc and on the way one of them lands a hit on your pet, you press f3.. “come on leave him we’ve got more important things to do”. You get to the quest and after your first kill you end up fighting on your own, looking back you see your “trusty sidekick” disobeying you and goin bak for the mob you told em not to play with 5 minutes ago an now is half way across the map and you need to use pet swap or wait ages for them to run back… Every time why isn’t f3 permanent?

I’m looking for something like this but in not paying more than 500 gens to transfer, bit of z rip off

How full is your server?

Just ran a quick build using the gear an you can prob get 1400-1500 per main stat and 500 ish cond and healing + around 30-40% crit chance and with the celestial runes about 60%+ dmg

Edit- with top gear

i’ve tried, some builds look good on paper – but the mix of toughness and vitality can’t even come come close to the survivability of pure toughness jewels vs thieves.
Similarly the mixture of dmg types can’t compare to going full condition.
So with you’ll be less survivable and have less damage and less healing than simply going shaman or clerics amulet. If you can make it work, good luck to you.

…

Nah wasn’t gonna try it, just wondered why there is so much celestial ascended and exotic gear about. Also got me thinking if there is some secret celestial build pwning everything

Aww little squeeker

Since rangers are meant to be jack of all and master of none, is a celestial gear build viable? Is anyone running with this gear? Is there any point of it?

Sword sigil no idea, not bleed

Ok I’m gonna respec my ranger for the last time, I’ve tried everything. I’m aiming for a power condition ranger with decent survivability.

Not sure about axe/torch or sword/dagger. Used both before and I like both.
Also sigils I’m unsure.

20/0/30/5/15

Keen edge, piercing arrows/0/Wilderness knowledge,Hide in plain sight, bark skin/5/Mighty swap.

Stats are based on exotics
Rabid armour, carrion trinkets/jewels, soldier weapons.

Power 1732
pre 1140
tough 1748
vit 1482
Cond dmg 1239
condduration 20%
Heal 150
Crit 15%
hp 20700

weapons – sb – a/t or s/d

runes undead

sigils not sure +10 bleed duration on shortbow, burn for torch, poison for dagger, bleed on sword no idea, axe no idea.

Utilities, heal not sure, Sharpening stones, qz, lightning reflexes, entangle

Going for an all rounder, what do you think?

Ok I’d class myself as a casual player and I am limited with my spare time.. I only play one toon and dont have time for alts… ( would love to but can’t) therefore I’m trying not waste any time by buying/ crafting gear then changing speck all the time; needing to buy/ craft more. I play often but not for large amounts of time which means I gave up on dungeons early on due to no lfg tool which would greatly benefit me.
I am a 0/0/30/10/30 ranger using axe/torch and sword/dagger/warhorn. I want to back up my burst pets with reasonable condition damage, be good at healing and be hard to drop.
The problem is what gear I aim to have, dungeon are a no untill they implement quick way to find a group, I do dailies but find it hard to do monthlies because of dungeon runs. I have 100000+ karma so could get a couple of pieces there, but mainly j will be crafting/ buying.
I have a couple of pieces of apothecary exotics (tough/healing/condition) and aim to finish that set off probebly. I was thinking of making the same passiflora trinkets but the bigger stat on both is the healin stat, I’d rather have highest toughness, then condition, healing and then possibly vitality but I can’t see this being easy. All the other options of gear seem to have power on or precision with othe stats I want.

A couple of questions:
1) how much healing is too much? I have 800 ish so far
2)how much condition dmg is enough to do reasonable dmg? ( being a second stat to toughness. I have 1000.
3) is power and precision a wasted stat for my build?
4) if you were trying to gear my build what would you craft/buy with karma to fit with apothecary armor?

This build is for pve/wvw mainly and my traitys are mainly defensive or healing.

Sry ifthis makes no sense I can’t scroll back to see what I’ve typed- I’m writing on my phone at work, thanks
