Guild Wars 2

Being able to swap pets in beastmode would probably be too strong, just think more about using your skills.

On a side note really enjoying that i can use dagger for power not just condi.

Just give us a check box i personally love the effect but i know alot of people don’t.

I really like the current animations please don’t change a thing it’s a super nice aesthetic and one of the main reasons i love the soulbeast, plus it’s a good visual indicator to the enemy that the ranger has merged with his pet.

Edit: Please don’t label this as a “Fix” there isn’t anything to be fixed this is just some peoples preference.

I’ve been running a variation on the meta condi build swapping S/T for Longbow, and i can easily 1v1 any class and win, even a decent necro with having so much condi clear they can’t do anything to you, give it a shot, it still has super high burst even without sword torch, people under estimate LB. :-p

How about making it pulse out adrenaline, so when you’re in radius of the banner, it gives you say 5 adrenaline every 3/5 seconds, i can’t really think of much else to add.

I’ve won 3 matches previously (that i can remember) and recieved no pips for them at all, and one match i was stuck in even after it finished for about 10 minutes, which seemed to have fixed itself after i logged out for 30 mins.

Be great if i could have my pips back as it’s kind of holding me back atm

When did this happen, i was so hoping to get this set, any comment on when it might return or?

Rauderi.8706:

Greatsword doesn’t need any more love.
But, the throw on 4 does need some work. Faster projectile, at least.

Hard CC is a Hammer thing.

Physical skills ought to ditch the dashing and work on pulls instead. Or, y’know, fix the dash glitches. Maybe add a pull to Bolas. Not to say we don’t need better closers, but Greatsword isn’t where it’s needed.

I just feel GS lacks any CC by itself to land any of it’s burst, you always have to set up hundred blades using a utility slot or another weapon, which leaves us with less options, i understand GS is a strong weapon overall and adding 1 CC, a pull at that isn’t going to take hammer’s place as a hard cc weapon.

I also really like the idea of the bola’s having a pull, like guardians Spear of Justice, pulling on the chain to drag the target towards you, very interesting.

Got an idea how about, just hear me out here… we change GS 4 to pull targets towards us on it’s way back?

Noticed Herald has an icon next to the boon section for one of it’s traits that triggers Crystal Hibernation at low HP, wouldn’t it be nice for us to get the same thing for Evasive Arcana so we know weather to save our dodge roll or use it, i know it’s a low CD (6 1/2s) but even still would be a nice quality of life thing.

P.S. i know hardly any build runs arcane these days.

Seriously i hardly post about anything on the forum but this, THIS! This has me going crazy it’s literally made my favourite skill ever become my least favourite skill, visuals is what i go for in a class, the visuals of the skills is what sells it to me, they’ve just destroyed that for me (not to be dramatic) but i am being dramatic… CHANGE IT BACK and just tone down the explosion when it hits a target.

Hey guys so i was messing around a bit in PvP trying to find a decent power build for rev and i think i got it, it uses hoelbrak as condi’s are a huge weakness to this build, it has alot of life syphoning thanks to traits and you can sustain yourself pretty well if you play right, while dishing out huge amounts of damage.

I use off-hand sword but you can switch to shield if you prefer, i just like the lower CD block, and the 5th skill for interrupting stomps and such. So try it out and let me know what you guys think and any feedback would be appreciated! :-)

Also to add to the discussion, I do not want to see a change to ‘True Shot’ i love that it roots you it gives the longbow that added flavour it needs plus if you are finding the root as a problem i think that is more of a l2p issue than the root being the problem.

Found a small bug with Symbol of Energy, it states in the tool tip that it pulses 5 times but it only pulses 4 times, you can test for yourself it only applies the vigor 4 times and the burn 4 times.

I like it being rooted, gives it that little bit of flavour like this is a powerful skill, and you need to focus your energy to keep it up, moving around while doing it would make it seem a bit meh.

Hmm i would say Charr.

Hey thanks for the reply i’ll try it out now see how it goes, scared tho that the lack of elixer S will leave me wide open to bursts along with no tool kit, but i do enjoy gadgets. Will let you know what i think!

Hey guys so i really enjoy using bombs, more than i do grenades but i just can’t seem to make it work as well as it would with grenades, for example i tried the double kit condi build, replacing the grenades with bombs and grabbing the bomb trait but having no way to stay at range and do my damage made it very difficult and i seemed to drop very quickly.

So i was wondering do you guys have any builds you have tried that have worked or any suggestions for a condi bomb build to work in pvp, i love the bomb kit and i want to be able to use it effectively.

I have an idea why not make the spirits attached to the ranger, say like an aura, not like those circles you see but, lets say for instance, Sun Spirit, it would give your charcater an orange glow giving you and people around you the passive buff, when you activate the spirit, the spirits active effect emminates from you, and you lose the aura, still not sure how multiple spirits would work at once, but i think it would be ALOT better than what we have now and also solves the issue of the spirits dying and becoming useless.

Just tested it on the golems in pvp, light on your feet does make it pierce, dunno where you are getting your information from.

Zenos Osgorma.2936:

use spotter and a Carrion Amulet , rangers have enough crit hit to get enough crits just by using Multi shot attacks with Spotter and fury .

9% base
9% spotter
20% fury
38% crit hit is enough for pvp while the carrion amulet improves attack and condis both go hand in hand, though you may think it is low but it balances quite well with this type of build you posted going zerk amulet won’t do anything but give you more dps and lowers over all condi damage making your trait choices pointless as you need time to make sure those condis do enough damage.

using a carrion amulet allows you to deal both power and condi damage at the cost of Critical damage where that shouldnt be a issue as that only allows you to deal higher burst , that is now provided by RF and multi shot attacks to stack bleeds fast at a high amount.

Been doing really well with your input on the original build, i think this will be my new favourite ranger build for a while now!

Looks like fun i’ve always liked the idea of conditions while still using the longbow, i’ll give it a try later and let you know what i think

SuzukiMethod.4732:

If you have piercing arrows, then you will get stealth off of the first target hit, and then revealed on the second. If not, then it was most likely dodged, blocked or you were blinded.

They fixed this a while ago, so the arrow will not break stealth when it pierces multiple targets.
