Hello everyone!
So, i had make a comeback into the game after quite some time and fell in love with the Ranger class. Lvl 50ish i steam roll through the content like its nothing using a power build (trying to choose power/expertise/ferocity gear whenever i can) using LB/GS as weapons and ofc my awesome pets!
I did some search of my own about Ranger and its place in and game, Pvp, WvW and Raids/Fractals.
The proffecion seems to be in a very good spot atm and i for one im very pleased about this to be honest.
But i got a bit confused in the proccess about the plase of certain builds.
I dont want by any means to be confined to 1 build at each game mode, lets say for example, i really do enjoy the power build that i level with and i would like to see that kind of action late game, say, in Pvp or WvW, be it roaming or what not.
For Raids and Fractals ofc im expecting quite some min/max and i dont have a problem been support or healer (Druid Elite spec i just love).
So….what do you guys say?
What is your point of view about builds and roles of the Ranger in the late game modes?
What works the best or not? I myself will play quite some Pvp and WvW and try ofc Raiding when i have the time.
I really do enjoy a constructing conversation as i feel the proffecion is pretty versatile in all modes and i would like to see first hand when the time comes.
Thank you all in advance!
Thanks everyone for the responses!
I actually started over as a had one champ and that was a Necro. So started over with a new champ and i pretty much enjoy the experience so far, I guess it was the right way at least for me. Gonna purchase HoT in the next couple of weeks too.
See you all in Tyria!! And thank you all again!!
Heya there mates!
So, i decided to came back after a qouple of years, and as i can, see a lot had changed!
Fortunately, the time i was playing i didnt commit to any particular champ so my question to you all is…
As i dont seem to recall anything of the game, is it in your opinion best, to make a fresh start so i can take my time with the game again? Learn from the begining etc?
I could jump with my hightest level champ into the game,which i did, but it just feels awkard the very least…i mean i got lost with so many that was going on around. Thats why im asking for some friendly advice!
And, i dont have HoT yet but planning to buy in a couple of weeks, is it best to start with it or it doesnt make a difference until later in the game?
Thank you all for you time!
Thank you all for your replies here, the variety of choices is truly amazing feat for this class which i fall in love the more i play.
Tonight im gonna experiment in some skills calcs about your suggestion guys,you know get a placeholder.
Indeed having a particular set of weapons that excel in one area be it mobility or melee / ranged burst or control seems to be the way to fully take advantage of the various mechanics.
For Rifle/LB yes the idea was exactly for some specific dungeons or WvW if you also spec somewhat supportive.I dont see how it can work in sPvP but for WvW as chaotic as is it may be an option.
Keep it rolling boys and girls,give your ideas (if there is more to say anyway :P).
So i left my “main” a 40lvl necro to try a warrior and although low level (still around 12) i am amazed by how many weapons a warrior can use and choose a role that fits.
Strolling the forums i have stumbled across multiple threads about single handed weaponry combs, either with shield or warhorn, the GS 100b builds,the CC Hammer and some interesting ranged LB+ or Rifle+ builds. How can you dps or support with banners or healing shouts.
And between I’ve been thinking (now we come to the reason of this thread) since i haven’t found anything similar yet, would two builds in particular be effective?
A: Gs/Hammer build switching between the two for burts or cc as needed.
B: LB/Rifle ranged only option maybe for some dungeons or WvW switching for Aoe or single targer damage as needed.
Take note that i just been thinking about those possible comps and if they could work it would add even more great versatility to the class, which is the thing i truly am amazed about this prof.
So if you please give me your insight on this, why it will/not work etc.
Pointing into pve and pvp prospective always, oh and posts in the manner “bla bla bla wont work period” etc i dont think will help anyone :P
Ty so much in advance ppl and keep it rolling.
