Hey all, finally have a new rig allowing me to stream join me for some Druid Superiority!

You can catch my stream nightly at https://www.twitch.tv/quickcry

I am happy to discuss builds and answer questions, I have been on ranger / druid since day 1 of game.

L8R

Quick

Workable solution! Buddy sent me link to his GW2.exe file via skype. After I deleted all prior GW2 files. Launcher is now reloading game.

Are we going to be forced to go to 64 Bit? Based on the conversation my issue is like those above running a 32 bit system.

Patcher is clearly broken

Thanks Faye, I looked over your build calc. I’m not a fan of a/t simply makes u vulnerable on that weapon swap. Frankly I havent really looked at the new skills. I’ll figure them out when I can actually use them. What looks good on paper doesnt always play the way you want it to. So I’ll do some testing in spvp then move it to WVW.

I always save the best for last. 1 v X granted I wouldn’t put any of them in the A player category still difficult no matter the case to manage the cc of many players.

Fluffball,

Well said.

Shirk,

I am always game for a challenge.

Based on the traits of this build as soon as I go into combat. My power jumps to 2200 with 80% crit. The condi is icing on the cake!

There is a tremendous amount of synergy built into the build. I’ve given it to a few but they religiously kitten it up by making changes. DON’T DO IT!

I’ll make tweaks frequently. But I’ll put it in the video description.

Shrink, I have been full cele quite some time. Just been to lazy to shoot footage. I ran s/t, a/d for the past 3 years. LB for the first time is a viable weapon choice with quickdraw trait. Loving the range again.

Enjoy

Na this was about an hour after lighting up their main keep for about an hour and they got tired of running from main location. They sent a few to stop me to no avail then decided they were going to chase me for an hour. kitten was fun.

Just fooling around with some DB

We are just 2 wee asurans. /BOW

Small change to the armor, Tried Dire with Undead runes tonight. WOW the dmg. CONDI at 2100 healing at 1100. Not as survivable but pumps out the dmg.

10/0/30/30/0 condi bunker and survival utilities will be a very strong roaming build.

Anyone have a post link for the new ranger traits yet?

Not sure what you want, if it’s a desxription of the traits, here is dulfy’s notes on the livestream in which the traits were presented

Ranger Balance changes & grandmaster traits

Substantial improvements to pet responsiveness, especially for F2 abilities

Thanks thats what I was looking 4.

If your major concern is being able to escape. Either run a power build with s/d with gs or if you want to maintain condi run s/d with sb (key trait being martial mastery in both cases). I just posted a video which shows the ability to kite with either s/d, sb or a/d,s/t

sb + s/d is slower dmg but certainly has more mobility

“Third, other than Emphatic Bond, what other traits should I take in wilderness survival?”

I personally run shared aguish, off hand trainig other option is to run vigor trait when healing, but i get that from lightning reflexes. I like shared aguish for finishes when roaming solo. Down state can be a kitten when soloing and your fighting more then 1.

Wow with this build I have found I can conquer anything! Ranger is OP now!

Any class can be OP 80% is skill set 20% is build and gear!

Wow this is very good! Not that it restores any faith in ranger but I do see there’s a high ceiling of skill here involved.

Thanks for the compliments, appreciated much!

My only criticism would be that it was a little long. A couple of the 1vs1 fights could have been taken out. Like those where you had food buffs and the other guys didn’t. The fights were well played on your part, but they didn’t stand much of a chance.

Agreed a little long this time, but the last fight I didn’t want to leave out. Your video was also well done I just don’t like no evade running a/t. It has left me to vulnerable at times. Thanks for the Comments.

@ Hyjaxx Thanks for the comment. Interesting enough I was running the power version of this using s/d/ and gs for a long time before I watched one of Fauxs video’s with the cond version.

“Video got removed for me”

?

Search youtube for my name (quickcry) not sure video is still there.

Thanks I had been over there for awhile so I think they had called out the troops. The warrior was seeing red, didn’t stick around for the second warrior only because I knew more were on the way.

Hence the name quick /wink. If you can’t catch me and cant out heal me you can not kill me /smile…

Seriously though I enjoy a fight that takes some skill to win, even if you are out numbered.

Nice build/vid… Your build should even be better with new changes coming to lightening reflexes and (fingers-crossed) more immediate pet F2 execution.

Thanks for the comment. Based on the patch coming in April this may be very versatile build with new traits coming and condi clears. I’ll wait and see what actually comes any pet ai changes will deff be welcomed as part of our dmg is mitigated by pet reaction time and useless control at times atm.

I am also debating adding Dire armor to the equation finishing to many fights at 100% life that could be over faster with stronger condi dmg.

Thanks for the compliment, but honestly I am not having issues with any class as is. Yes there are some classes that alot closer fights then others but I don’t want to play an overpowered class that is a face roll kill class. If they fix the pet AI I would be happy.

Weapons yes, accessories rings amulet and back yes earings are cleric for the extra healing pwr. Sapphire jewels on all.
