Guild Wars 2

I love how you trolled that thief!

Atherakhia.4086:

It’s time for ANet to step up. If it’s a problem they simply can’t resolve the pets need to be removed. It’s that simple.

I think removing Pets is to drastic.
Pets where alway a main part in the rangers identity… in every game.

Why don´t just give us perma-stow?
If the pet “counts” like 30-40% of rangers HP and DPS then give us a permanent stow ability which will increase ur DPS and HP by 20%.

thx alot for your feedback!

First of all: Yes i will mix my stats
Cause I can kill noobs with lb1→ lb2 instantly but that is not what i want. Its a nice gimmick but I don’t want that: If all my attk hit → your dead, if not i am.

Condition damage is no option for me.
First i don’t like the playstyle on the ranger.
Second I’m currently leveling an engi, and imo engineers are way better in dealing massive cd.

So massive damage + a good amount (but still no tank) of surivability is my way to go.

So do you think signets are crap at all? I like SoS, SoR and SoH is a must in WvW imo.

hey ultravalefor!
You’re totally right.

1.) I’m still not dodging perfectly… but getting better. So i think a more skilled player could run full gc, but i’m not ATM!

2.) I know the evades of the sword but i really love the gs.
First the aesthetics. Second: The skills… With SoH gs2 crits 6-8k, gs3 is so good for allaround mobility, gs4 is just awesome (blocking massive amount of projectiles + counter), gs1 got evades and gs5 is also dope in the right situation.

3.) Why I love SoH: I dont only use it fpr the speedbuff, wich is awesome aswell.
I pre-cast it cause of the 16min uptime… lb1 is 100% cc cause of opening strike, so with SoH precastet my openingstrike hits 4-5k… when the target gets close i swap to gs (sigil of intelligence → 100% cc aswell) and i just start of with my gs2 for another 6-8k hit.

So if i get these to hits i do about 10-13k damage in TWO attacks…
That is actually the reason why i run the signet setup… it works for me and i love it.

3) I though of SoS + PM too… it’s just crazy how long you can sustain damage with this setup!
gs5→SoS→ProtectME→gs5 and you can go inv for a loooooong time.

But high dps is more important in this build for me.

4.) I run jungle stalker + red moa in zerg fights and just let my pets guard me and pop out their might/fury buffs
If i run solo or in small groups i run wolf/wolf or wolf/jaguar
imo spiders/devourers arent bad but i hate the looks xD

Allright!
i just read some topics about the math behind precision vs power.
After I played a bit with numbers I´m convinced that an increase of power will be provide more dps.

and another good advise by carboy: your right… the protect on dodge isn´t that big!
I´ll go 30/30/10
So I´ll give it a try and run zerker/soldier.

Either this one or just swap knights armorpieces to soldiers is what i thought off.

@gotem: wow thx alot! I really thought that the active of SoR pulls all conditions to me xDD
Well…. i will swap SoN for SoR (stunbreaker + condition removal = awesome)
I´ll go cavaliers trinkets aswell!
But i´m still not sure what fits better knights or soldiers… i guess soldiers would give me more tankiness!
But since my cd is over 90% i think it could really hurt losing the precision (dps wise)!

the sigil of fire is already on my lb

@ all thx for all the imput!

but like carpboy mentioned i really love the playstyle i currently run.
If i want a tank i run my guardian!
But for my ranger i really want someone who can kill fast, and from far distance (thats what a ranger is imo)…

@ carpboy: so you think soldier stats are superior to knights?
Because of the cd i´thought about cavaliers trinkets!

Hey ranger-fellas!

First Post

I´m currently running a full zerker lb/gs setup in WvW.
Traits: 30/25/15/0/0. Signet of Beastmaster —> Signet of Hunt, Stone, Nature

I deal pretty high damage (with signets active: lb2: 12-16k, gs2: 6-9k), BUT as you can tell i´m very very very glascannon!
A thiefs fart kills me actually…

I thought about mixing my zerker gear with cavalier trinkets (backpack, rings) and swap 3 pieces of armor to soldiers/knights, but i have no glue what fits better.

Soldiers: +keeping the power up, +vitality/toughness but losing a bit of precision (what is key of my build: without full zerker still >90% cd)

Knights: + good amount of toughness and no lose of precision but no vitality buff at all and small decrease of power.

I really really want to keep my lb/gs, signet, dps setup! So please dont tell me: “Lb/gs is bullkitten run BM-bunker or smth…”

I appreciate every suggestion! If needed i´ll post my current build-
