Hi,
Could any point me to a Warrior ranged WvW roamer build? Say LB/S+? or whoever works. I like to solo camps, even upgraded ones and also be able to farm bags in zergs.
My build goes off a mix of rampager and berserk gear. 30 into arms 30 into defense and 10 for discipline because i love the 25% run speed. Longbow is very useful for cleansing ire. Sword and shield with longbow works way better than rifle with s/sh. I love the rifle but using the longbow now with the new default 1k range is too good to keep pvping with the bland utility-weak rifle
That would give about 1,200 toughness, I haven’t seen any game play or know any one who runs this build so Im just guessing, but wouldn’t you get eaten alive by any one in a ‘roaming’ build?
I’m loving my terror build ATM dominating in pvp/wvw. Feals useless in pve due to defiance
.
I’m running: 0,30,20,0,20
why did you opt to not take mark on dodge?
Damage under fear/terror will be nurfed by about half.
You do know that they will actual bring another nurf for ranger right? Denial ok wait and see.
One question, that music, you trolling us with it right, no way a real person could be listening to whatever that is!
If you use the Trait ‘Cleansing Ire’ like me, Longbow wins.
Thats an Elementals trait that cleanses 3 conditions and burns foe!
Just throwing this out there because questions have popped up in the past. Using rifle for the longest time and switching to longbow from time to time. I can safely say longbow is far superior for anyone except strictly berserk. The damage is more reliable if you know what your doing with the aoes.
In pvp: The fire damage longbow brings is quite powerful if you have a decent amount of condition damage. Melee enemies have a harder time avoiding it if your dropping fields consistently. And you can pin enemies in it. The skills have more loaded into them. The rifle just doesnt have it. The blind has alot of use and its a quick hard to dodge shot along with a quick immobilize. Swapping to a longbow has alot more use for the 10 seconds your stuck in it than the volley you have with rifle.
Since switching longbow i crush people in pvp. Thieves cant handle the fire field i drop then swap to sword and hold them in it. Longbow allows you to control the fight better than the rifle by bounds. So try it out. Fighting in your own fire field in melee is very powerful.
Could you share your build and add armour for WvW?
Thanks
Hi,
Thanks, great guide as usual. Could you put together a list of ‘best at’?
I have been trying to mimic a Ranger build that I love playing in GW2 and it is a high survivability build with excellent Vigour and Regeneration while maintain solid damage via +2k power and pet combination. I am not saying I like pets, I like the damage output when I combine my 2k power bow with pets.
As you can see I am a fan of ranged game play and so I do not like daggers.
Thanks again.
ok thanks guys, here is the final build and gear:
I noticed ‘good’ players dodge my GS! I’ll try to get a hammer and see how that plays out.
:/ ok thanks, J Peters recently said that all classes could be a kind of Monk, I guess warrior can’t.
You’d get more out of celestial trinkets and full knight armor, it’ll be roughly the same stats you have now it’ll be about 150 less power but would still be alot more damage with 20% higher critchance and about 55% critdamage.
This is what I use with the DDR build, except I replaced the low stat armor pieces with berserker for a little more kick on my crits.
I can’t see the build link because of a firewall, but I’m tagging this to be added in the compilation thread
I’m always looking at ways to increase burst but never at the expenses of my regeneration. I found a sweet spot with my current mitigation that allows me to solo HGH P/P as well as D/D Ele, though ele tend to just run away and half the time they towards NPC guards.
Power builds like the guy posted above have the damage and work great in groups but I wanted something that can roam and not worry about the kind of builds that tend to roam solo…Too many times I ran into Guardian+Something else or ele+something else and I don’t know of any build that can go 1v2 with those guys that is not regeneration heavy for Ranger.
Unfortunately, that’s how it is for power rangers in WvW. We don’t have the tools for 1v2 or higher like the RRR or BM Bunkers do.
I do fine with mine because I only solo roam when the commander needs scouts. Otherwise, I stick to the zerg so I don’t stand out as much. I can holdout against a roaming thief or ele, but when 2 or more engage me, that’s a sign that I have to disengage. My wolf and drakehound can only CC one target reliably.
Maybe someone else can figure out a build like that. I’m really content with what I have at the moment so I’m not really experimenting on solo roaming power builds.
If you want to consistently 1v2 it will take getting Ascended items and slight modification of gear BUT remain within Cleric/Knight/Soldier just move them around and change the build to look like this:
Then ask Sarlack is he’s willing to make some vids of how he does it, I learned most of what I know from him.
I wanted to build a Warrior similar to my Regeneration Power Ranger for WvW, I enjoy the Ranger and like the extreme solo potential of that kind of build and want to experience the Warrior class similarly.
My question is can the Warrior be built and function in such a way?

I like the Power+Healing+Toughness play style but needs to be Ranged for the most part…Axe is ok but its more of a DS weapon or 2,3,4,5 then back to staff.

How do yo gear?

The Ascended Trinkets? I don’t do daily or instances
I guess the rifle roamer is an unattainable dream :/
That’s my point, why use regen sigil at all.
Ok thx….here it is, looks really good now?:
…but how do I get kills in a Zerg?
(edited by Cempa.5619)
Would like to see you in action. You don’t get much out of regen unless its stacked and with some +healing.
Also, is Bolas 5.x sec root worth it for 100b?
1) pet leash reduced to 900
2) Pet revive nerf
3) BM trait line balance
So delete the pet ? lol
But the build has 100% fear duration without food and 50% burn duration without food.
??
I only see 6 necro runes and 30 in Spite. So atm it’s 50% fear and 30% burning… right?
30% Spite
50% Trait
20% Necro Runes
ao 100% Fear and 30% burn sorry not 50% burn.
Also are you sure you wont lose a 1v1? My power regen ranger might have something to say about that!
EDIT: Sorry my bad you are right I confused traits I DONT have 100% fear ….
(edited by Cempa.5619)
More power and pure of voice.
Now?
There’s finally a viable roaming build for necros. Anet’s response: Nerf it!
It’s not any more viable for roaming than any pre-patch build, because you will still die if outnumbered.
The only change you get with Dhuum/Terror is that you won’t lose a straight up 1v1, ever! And that’s why it’s op, specifically in the sPvP scene because that’s all about small scale fights.What do you think of the build I linked? 10 points in staff CD reduction worth or max out curse?
Depends… in zergs the cd on marks will play a much bigger role than Dhuumfire itself.
In 1v1s it won’t matter, depends if you like any of the Curses traits better or not.Also, definitely take +40% food with Dhuumfire and Terror.
But the build has 100% fear duration without food and 50% burn duration without food.
1) Pets to get 90% AE mitigation
2) Pets cast time cut by %50 OR all pet abilities have 1,200 range and always land
3) Trait that adds stats per kill in BM to move from pet side to player side
….but if I was to be realistic I want just 1 thing:
pet attacks to follow target player as long as target is within range.

Without using dagger, can you build a ‘monk’ necro? As in regen based?

AH Shout GS+Sword/Focus build, question is how would you optimise it? Less crit and more power? Drop HP and get something else?
(edited by Cempa.5619)
Is the combination of terror and dumbfire with greater mars really op or am I just confusing what is means by fire and terror in same build being OP?
Here is the build:
Before I spend all that gold I’d like to ask for help, the build is supposed to give good solo game play while being ‘tanky’ and pumping out a good amount of damage.
The focus is on regeneration and powder…
It takes for ever to kill anything without the mitigation of a bunker :/
Lets say you wanted to take this build into WvW for solo game play with the idea of going after camps even upgraded ones. Any thoughts?
What about the Dumbfire+Terror+Greater Marks Rabid Build?
Play it before it gets nurfed…..Fire+Terror = OP
With HGH and Altruism we get 60% boon duration or mix and match ?
I play both Necro (Terror Condi 0/30/10/10/20) and Power Ranger (20/20/30/0/0) and enjoy both deeply, but find my self stomped as I attempt to build my Necro specifically to counter my Ranger, I just can not do it for WvW.
Here is a link to my Ranger post/build:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/ranger/My-WvW-Power-Ranger-Build/first#post2339064
I have gone up against many Necros after the patch and since I play one its easy for me to read what the other guy is trying to do and counter fear wall, torment and most burst with Ranger knock backs, daze, stun as necro tend to lack stability I know how and when to exploit that.
@ AydenStar I assume you moved the 5 points in BM into something else after patch?
HGH is best with boon duration?
The build revolves around regen, vigor and toughness, I’d even go further than what is linked and switch from GS CD reduction to get the regen trait. Also, birds are a solid choice for swiftness+blind+chill.
I would also change the pet condition duration to +10% dmg when endurance is full as you would open with LB and combo the knock back with AE snare and wait for your foe to dodge then unload your LB burst.
500 healing is mandatory as you have regen from foodsignet+trait+rune with +2k toughness.
Feel free also to drop GS and test other weapons.
What parts of Rifle do you like the most in WvW?
Pull—->Jump Shot
I don’t play much any longer and when I do log in its straight to WvW. I wanted a build that can allow for solo game play, solo upgraded camps and pretty much laugh at any Thief!
I have a Shortbow and Axe+War-horn in the bag, you can figure out why, I also have a couple different kinds of food and gear sets in bag.
I use Greatsword because it allows for amazing mobility and GS is just fun and also lets me run through zergs if I ever wanted to do so.
The build can take a serious beating while doing OK damage.

Really cool vid, was actually looking to switch from P/P to Rifle as I love the Magnet Pull—>Jump Shot Combo!
I assume most would not run this build?
Keep it up guys, Rangers were having fun and making cool vids just like this..won’t be long now Anet is consistent if nothing else.
