People will tell you to turn off auto attack. But turning off auto attack is not a permanent fix. It’s like putting a plaster on a wound that is in putrefaction.
It’s permanent untill Anet will fix it, but i tend to believe the animation works as intended. Anyway, i really hated the skill chain too until i turned autoattack off. Now I am getting better, just use 2 and 3 to evade the biggest attacks, the dodge will have a delay in any case, but it works. And under any circumstance use the sword on or near a cliffside XD
Man you’re a monster! I would really love to be that focused while roaming…
From what I know, 1H Sword for Ranger is supposed to be a mobile weapon (and it is)
However, the the fact that we cannot dodge out of the auto attack is kind of frustration.
Not using Hornet’s Sting or Serpent’s Strike, they have cast times, I get that.But the dodge rolls?
I think we need the ability to dodge roll OUT of our auto attack animations.
Oh, and please don’t say “Just turn off auto attack!” It’s clunky, it’s not fun, and most of all, it’s annoying.
If you do it, go for it. Not all of us want to be clicking on a button forever…
I don’t find it to be mobile. As the OP said, sword has no gap closer, the autoattack chain root you in place with autoattack on and make you jump around uncontrollably if you turn it off.
I’d like to use this weapon, i read every advice from the famous ones on here and watched every video i could find about the tricks. I turned off autoattack, then i turned it on, the result is always the same, i cannot control my toon. And I HATE it.
I think it definetly need some improvement.
Look for when it’s somewhat calm in the area and try to sneak in. You only have to “F” it! At least that’s what I did in my impatience. Stripped naked and suicide rushed to them.
Just like this wise guy said. Run naked for your wolf!
Hi, just a quick question: I cannot afford the Apothecary set, anyway I could buy a full set of Cleric’s. Is this build still viable in Cleric’s? I have always wondered why everyone states that Cleric’s does not work with ranger.
Any known EU server where this chain’s being farmed?
I guess it depends much on your playstyle. Traps can be useful in PvE ( where enemies are predictable AI mobs), or in sPvP where combat is in a relatively confined area. In Wv3 however they are not much use as situations can change rapidly, especially in higher tier servers. Better to use traits and survival skills that aid mobility evasion and range IMO.
Of course if you don’t use bows you should have rolled Warrior or Thief
I feel like my traps bring nothing to my Guild in WWW, so generally i switch traits in the same build (0/30/30/0/10) to use survival skill like MT, QZ and LR or SoH/SoW, anyway, i still fell useless because my damage is pretty low in rabid trapper spec and my Pet isn’t better than me, with only 10 points in BM my devourers end up dead pretty often and pretty quickly.
I always hear that the best equipement, stat wise, for W3 is Soldier, but in these forums i read that it’s not the case for rangers. So i was evaluating Cleric’s, but it looks only good for roamers/soloers. So, what to do as a Ranger to avoid trapping for the rest of my gaming life, to feel at least a bit usefull in W3?
Hi all,
first off, i am a casual player mainly focused on PvE and W3, started playing on day one with my ranger, and decided to run a trapper because of my imaginary around the ranger stereotype. I love to run around with my pets, chasing beasts and killing stuff.
I recently completed my first exotic set, and i chose Rabid armor, weapons and amulet, Carrion rings, earrings and backpiece. I still have to start my first fractal for the ascended rings, subsequently i will work for the amulet/backpiece.
I run the classical 0/30/30/0/10 build with II, VIII, XI in Skirmishing and III, VII, XI in WS; i switch the BM adept to adapt the situation, VI for damage, IV for pet heal (even without healing power); I previously ran a slight different build, 10/30/20/10/0 for more power (quite efficient to be honest).
I use this build for PvE and guild WWW (to be supportive) with some trait changes.
Anyway, i am getting a little tired of this game style. I’d like to try something new, but i have little money (about 20 gold – 180k karma) and little time to farm (say 6/8 hours/week). I wish some advice as to not throw away my goods in failing attempts.
I was evaluating the Power Ranger type, with full Soldier gear or maybe knight jewelry and GS/LB and a 30/20/5/0/15 build type, but I read on these forums that it is quite ineffective.
I started to think about a 25/0/0/15/30 build, full cleric’s gear, SB/Axe-WH, or the classical 0/0/30/10/30 (0/0/20/20/30 maybe) that I used for some sPvP in the past, but I cannot figure out how to allocate traits and which utility to use to be effective. Moreover, I read here that Cleric’s gear ins’t a good choice for this kind of build, and Apothecary would be much better: is it because of ranger not scaling good with power?
Passiflora jewelry is insanely expensive for me… and the armor cost more too compared to cleric.
My focus in the long term is World Explorer, more forthcoming I’d say Fractals/Guild WWW.
TL;DR: tired of trapping things, what do you suggest to try, to not throw away my little wealth (armor, weapons, runes/sigils, jewelry, build)? Thank you all!!
Hi guys, thank you all for your answers.
So TA is the way to go! My character is a Sylvari so the skin is the best i can achieve!
Anyway, can you suggest a site with a good guide (possibly not videoguide, i have some issue with comprehension XD) of that instance?
Moreover, any good guy or guild on Gandara that can help me with the first runs?
Thanks again!
All of those dungeons provide armor with very different sets of stats. Caudecus’s Manor is magic find +, Twilight Arbor I’m not sure about, Honor of the Waves is power/vitality/toughness, and Arah is power/crit and toughness/power. Perhaps you should begin by deciding what stats you would like your armor to have and then choose the dungeon that provides that set of armor.
With regard to level of difficulty and time required, Arah will be the hardest and most time consuming.
Hi, thank you for your answer, i thought every dungeon offers multiple stat combination choiches, and the set i want, the rabid one (precision, toughness, condition damage) is available in every one i listed above, am i wrong?
@lDeadeyesl, i am referring to explorable mode for the tokens.
Thank you again!
Hi all,
i’m a casual player, playing since day 1, and i have finally reached lv 80 with my beloved ranger. Now i want to gear him up in exotics: i am a trapper, so i want to collect a rabid set of gear, thus giving me as options, apart from karma farming or TP, these dungeons: Caudecus’s Manor, Twilight Arbor, Honor of the Waves and Arah.
I have never ever done none of these, so i was wondering which one is the easiest, or even better the fastest, for a casual gamer, who can play less than 2 hours continuously once in a while?
Oh, i wish to add that it’s not like i am the worst player in this world, i can push myself through any game situation without many issues, i have never been kicked out of any party i have been into.
Many thanks in advance to everyone.
PS: sorry for my english, it’s not my language, please forgive my mistakes!
