i ask all solo-roamer on kodash and no one get one in mind and i got in mind that our server faced about 2-3 weeks ago
trust me , your build is not so strong as you tell, it´s nice true, but how you play against the new confusion thief/mesmer/warrios ?
it´s just sucide
ahahahahahah /ignore
Looks like a nice build you got there. I`d really like to test my BM power build against you one day to see how well it fares.
Bm builds are really strong if well used but the only real problem i finded was against a “condition bm buils” which as every condition build is the king of 1v1
Can i use this build in PvE and WvW?
of course! you can use it everywhere just change “penetrating arrows” (pve) for “eagle eye” (wvw/pvp)
Just so you know, this forum is extremely negative and what someone sees as “useless,” another sees as “great.” Case in point, this thread, you and the 2 other posts i quoted
ok man… but 2 positive feedback over 13 posts… aren’t so good…
and nothice that A “was partially positive…” and B “was positive only for a single boss in the new living world”… so i don’t think that’s enough. The aim of the sticked thread is to help players to find their build not to make a list of tons of builds half of what are good only for a single thing (not reported in notes) and not optimized (i suppose)… but the thread is yours… i was only trying to help better beginners.aha and whats with your guide?
feedback from people that we never saw in this forum was, great i give it a try and from people that play ranger for more than 2k hours and testet so much builds!?B2T:
still same problem as every zerker ranger, in small-sacle you will be hard kitten d..why?
if they see ohh zerker or longbow ranger, one thief jump on you and you dead.
trust me man, today we running around with 5 people and everytime lb ranger was in the enemy group he cant do a kitten
oh yes you are right ._. that sad but there are still too many novices on this game which think to be “the best” by “supposing how thing works” instead of do them directly… really i gave up. My question about this build is still the same:
how do you manage to defend? because you can deal damage but you will hardly kill someone with this damage output (unless it is a zerker enemy, a noob zerker enemy).
The problem with those kids who just want to waste their (and our) time is that i tried to teach them “how to avoid the pointed problem” but their reaction is… a kid reaction. Surprise, enjoy.
Sadly :< this is the comunity
i suggest you to give a look here:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/ranger/A-Ranger-Guide-Power-Build/first
it seems you are looking for a power build and the previous one is the best non-zerker, non-bunker and non-condition build rounded for everything you want to do! just learn to optimize your output damage and controll your defenses
None of the above, depending on the competence of those around you.
Say you’re with a good group of non-rangers: They’ll do whatever you do, but better. You’d be better off just going warrior or one of the classes that Anet designed with a hint of competence.
Say you’re with a meh group- List compiled below.
PvP: Depends. You’ll usually be skinned alive, stuck on a stick and made into tasty ranch-dipped Charr fritters. If this isn’t the usual, you’ll probably do -okay-. I’ve seen under rare circumstances Rangers doing good, but only do I see professionals doing ‘great’ on the forums.
PvE: Depending on your build and gear, you can shine here. Given, everybody else will have flashlights while you will be a half-depleted candle, but hey, you’ll get by if you do well. Try hard and believe in yourself and whatnot… If you’re particularly good, you might lead groups or level off with your better-designed compatriots. Just don’t expect to be invited to that CoF run.
WvW: Not to be confused with sPvP. You can support your team here in a multitude of ways. Key word ‘support’. You’ll never be leading any charges unless you want to be torn to bear-spattered pieces by a hail of auto-attacks. You’ll never be one-shotting enemies or scourging enemy camps or descending upon their scouts with vicious abandon. No, those jobs are for better-equipped specialists. In short, you can either shine or suffer here, depending on how you consider it. I take the role of a defender most of the time with my longbow. Not the best weapon, but it gets the job done and the tops of walls are an environment in which that horrid ‘1’ mechanic actually works in my favor.
Open-world: Here, the Ranger’s full potential is realized. You are free to fight and kite as you choose, the glaring flaws of your profession making far less of an impact on you and anyone you travel with. There is no pressure to do high DPS or fight for an objective here, in most cases. You are free to do as you please, and here, the ‘jack-of-all-trades’ mentality of the developers benefits you rather than holding you back. I find wandering Tyria as a ranger to be the most fun of any of the options presented.
+1
+2 but
in PVP i’ll add a bit more of effectiveness
and in WvW i can say that damage isn’t one shot… but yesterday i hitted a bunker guardian for 8k (rapid fire) and a mesmer (not sure of the build but he used staf) for 14k (rapid fire) and i was without foods not one shot but… if you are alive after a rapid fire you are luky
wow how you learned so many things about ranger? really? the only thing i learned is that the skill required is really high and that i can kill almost every enemy… i don’t think you have played ranger in the right way. I don’t think you have played ranger with the right build… i don’t even think you have player ranger as a ranger but as a guardia and/or warrior… ranger isn’t a warrior nor a guardian but can kill both ^^
If you still think that ranger isn’t enough go for an OP condition build but i told you this as a power build player
Hello fellow rangers, I’ve a question for you !
How can I beat a skilled perma stealth thief in WvW?I haven’t figured out yet how to kill them, I tried almost every build/tactic available but nothing as changed, I can’t even dream to stomp them
.
The mach usually ends up in 2 ways :
a) I manage to bring him around 20/30% hp before he stealth, he will full recover and try to kill me using another tactic, if they don’t try any weak point they will just vanish away.
b) they stealth/bs me to the Death, no way I can survive this, they can outrun me easy, and like point a) they can stealth to recover and try again if they are in trouble.
I’m oc talking about those thiefs that realy knows how to play it.
hello,
as i said in my guide (look on the forum) this fight will be quite hard the most we can do is to play in a defensive way in order to avoid their burst (gs 4# is the way). Also the most important thing when facing a perma stealth thief is that “stealth” isn’t really permanent! so as you said there are 2 option:
1) if the enemy reduce your hp to 20-30% and vanish in stealth you need to run away and don’t waste your SoS. WvW is their battlefield… if you dont want to have surprises here play with a friend XD
2) if he/she run away you have to run away too… not much to say.
The only way you can kill a perma stealth thief is to see him before (really hard) and start with a barrage (i usually deal 1000-1200 damages per tick, non crit, to a full zerker thief) because you will gain an enormous advantage (also to use RaO before casting barrage can help to prevent them from stunning/knock/etc and increase your dps). I can ensure you: a barrage well placed can literally destroy smash crush splat bim bum and bam (XD) a thief (full zerker)! if you are not sure call a friend and go in HotM then tell him to don’t move and get you barrage in the face… there is ton of fun.
Oh and i’m not talking about full zerker ranger! i hate full zerker classes/builds because they are quishy while i want to be offensive and defensive at the same!
tell me if you need more info
i just insta-killed ton of them in hotm do whatever you want! play whatever you want! but shut up! kitten ation
and i killed every lb ranger
it´s nice done how you wrote it, but their a situations thats not true for this build counterbuilds..e.g.
while a full zerker ranger is simply a full zerker ranger a LB ranger can’t be detected for his entire equip. Maybe you killed a full zerker long bow ranger but i can ensure you no one killed me during the past 3weeks (not i HotM)
and ps: this isn’t a “counterbuild” this is simply a build with tons of utilities and tons of utilities mean that if you are smart enough to use them you can face everything
@OP
uuuuuuh! 4th image is my charr!!! i posted it long time ago! how did you get it?
+1
warrior is the only class which only need nerfs not boosts…
LMAO
yes… i want to underline
warrior is the only class which only need nerfs not boosts…
pathetic
and PS: remove that image because there is my name inside or i’ll report (at least delete the number at the end)

-update 5/9-
new build
the following build is a review of my last build for those who don’t like to play without perma 25% movement speed. I laso want to remember that with the previous build we lost 25% movement speed (if using SoR) but we got 20 + 4sec from RaO and 5+1sec swapping weapon… so it wasn’t an huge lost but for those who like to always move faster the following build is the best one
comparing to the previous one;
pros: +6 vitality +15%boon duration +10%cond duration +5% crit damage +25% movement speed
cons: -119 power -6 precision -2 toughness -20% swiftness duration -5% chance to get fury, might and swiftness
enjoy

i don’t understand the necessity to point it out in % of “your” max health… isn’t better to write the effective health gained?
then i also don’t understand what’s the sense of this… “guide”? why not to write healing skills and their coefficients instead of 2 examples (min/max healing)?
anyway good job but you can do it better
guys are you kidding right? or is it a troll thread? maybe it’s only to give us a smile; aim reached
1) infinite coin is “only an item for a minigame” which also allows you to get coins from trash’s drop (i get like 15 continue coins on my guardian and 10 on my hunter)
2) there is a “exchange golds ofr gems button”; the price may be a bit high but remember the previous week and the big farm… it says you nothing? well, no one now has less then 50golds… really.
3) if you want to buy it with real money you can buy it with about 6€… are too many for you? then stop playing this minigame and come back to the rest of the world
4) i suggest you to make a party with 5 people ^^ i can ensure that you will find ton of fun anyway and all more easy
5) check your email box i’ve something to tell you ^^ (OP)
emm why not make the f2 skill works for the hunter?
for example spider’s f2: your pet’s next three attacks cause poison.
with a dead pet; f2: your next 3 attacks (ranger) cause poison.
wolf (dead) f2: cause fear around the hunter
drakes (dead) f2: cause a fire/frost/light/poison burst around the ranger and deal burning/chill/confusion/poison
this will make all more interesting… and really usefull to send our pet like a kamikazer
Hey, i’ve done with my equip ^^ thank you for help.
I’ll post it here so if someone else is looking for a such kind of equip can find it interesting.
helm: none
shoulders: CoF medium
chest: WvW medium
hands: WvW medium
legs: WvW medium
boots: WvW medium

Hello,
first of all i want to say that i really love what devs are doing with the game and of course this is by far the best MMO i’ve played; really. Now i’m really happy they want to give us new content every 2 weeks but it feels like they are going to do all in an accurate way…
I really like those contents and i know that they are doing it “for free” but i think will be better for all if they comes back to the 3 weeks (or maybe 1 month) release.
Someone may think that this will be a too long time but it isn’t; If devs get more time they can do all better and can add more things in the same monthly (for example) update this means more stuffs all togheter, more time to complete them (someone can play the game only few hours per day) and devs have more time to improve all those graphics errors introduced with latest patches. Only to give some bugs (for report):
- at enemies death their life-bar is still visible (like if you recharge their health the more your last hit was strong) but they are dead.
- CoF’s path 1 fire balls (XD it sounds funny) are invisible (unless you teleport away and then back)
- sometimes there is a bug which block you char’s movements unless you move your finger from “wasd” buttons and then press them again to finally move
- armor cripples (too many to elencate them all XD)
- ranged skills bug: sometimes your skill bar is red (out of range) but you will be able to hit enemies anyway and sometimes it isn’t red (in range) but you screen message says “out of ranger” o.O
- some graphic errors (in skills and animations)
so, i want to repeat that i love devs work and i hope they will continue but i think it would be better for us all to get less but perfect patches. If we start with some bugs and every patches introduce more bugs we will get infinite bugs.
less but of better quality what do you think?

Do you like to play without use foods? Without to look at their “time left”? to depend from their bonus? or to be force in a particular build because of food? (ex: build against condition damage/duration).
Well my last build is what you are looking for, then.
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fMAQJATRjEVF2JW+Vs2Bg1j96bwWhMZPOkxFPZDPpB-jUzAYrARigICAJPhssXUTfgVyioxqWwUlo6TE1bgVxQeDl1ogwI-w
pros: enourmous damage (2364 power without food!), good survivability (18k hp and 1600 tough) good crit chance (50% + 20% fury) and good condition removal (1 every 10sec + mass remove + healing spring!) and above all a free remaining food slot! you can choose whatever you want to put in! more damage? go for +100 power more defence? go for +100 vit/thoug or -40%cond duration.
look on the bottom of main thread for more info
I’d say: i’m really happy of my last build because it’s simply… … good for everything and more! try it
ps: there was an error in the link; corrected.

It’s supposed to be based on how many people are buying and selling the gems. Now since it’s not a direct post-and-buy system like the trading post you have to take their word for it that that’s how it works, and it would be sensible for them to give it a shove here and there. But for the most part it certainly seems like it’s based on demand and such. And in that case it’s unlikely to change; the exchange rate probably isn’t high enough for it to be worth buying gems just to covert into gold, at least not for most players. So as long as the gem shop has things people want (and they roll out new stuff often enough that that’ll probably be the case for a long time) the exchange rate should keep climbing.
ok that sounds interesting but… if you are right, why during this period gem’s price has grown up so much? this mean that no one is buying gems with real money but golds… really? this sounds legit but… if this will continue ò.ò in two months gem’s price would be like 1gold per gem!
Hello guys,
i have a big problem because, as everyone noticed, recently the price of gems (trade gold for gems) is growing as hell… from 100gems with 3golds to 100gems with more than 5golds… really? Ok the problem isn’t the price… still cheap and still worth it, but i wan’t to ask you if someone knows how the gem-per-gold mechanism works. So, is there a particular formula to calculate it? or is it casual and depending on devs will?
I though that it depended by averange golds per player; this will justify the increased price during this period of great farm and can allow us to prevent a future reduction of the price… not sure if this will be really helpyfull since (gold earned)/(gem price) = constant if my theory is right… but… i dunno
Do you know something? Tell me please
upped since there are still a lot of people looking for power builds
Hello guys,
i started yesterday my female norn hunter (now i’m level 59 and soon i’ll hit lvl 80) and i need your help because this is my first female char (i’m not a women <.< so it’s better to explain fastly my situation )
I want to have exactly 5 chars, 1 per race, and since i created an human warrior and a charr guardian (the only 2 classes which fits norn male mole, for me) no i was forced to create a female norn ranger (due to their small skin, compared to the male’s one).
The problem is that this is my first female char and i don’t want to wear an “hot”… or too reduced armor but i want to wear something of cool and like (or similar) to male’s armors…
the problem is that i can’t find a really good armor :< can you help me? For now the only one which is nearly to what i’m asking for seems to be magitech medium armor from shop…
Do you know a good armor set? or maybe a combination of sets which can suit to what i’m asking for?
thank you all
