I’m thinking OP had the right idea with running signet of the hunt. I don’t believe signet of the wild will drastically change or improve this build. Personal preference i suppose. I just can’t emphasize enough how important movement speed is in WvW, especially when roaming. You also get the active ability of 150% damage on next attack.

I was considering taking brown bear instead of eagle though just for zergs where it might last a bit longer plus 1 more condi cleanse.
We lost 5% modifier from eagle eye, 10% modifier from flanking, 6% critical damage from loss of fero stats.
kitten! You for serous? I didn’t think we lost THAT much. Sounds small but those numbers are actually pretty huge. That’s a lot of damage out the window.
Yessss finally! Been looking for some help tweaking my build for WvW. I ran something similar but your build makes slightly more sense.
Someone told me something about using LB/Axe+WH for WvW. I couldn’t really figure out a build or how to use it. Thoughts?
I’m at the end of my rope, fellow rangers! I’m far to indecisive. I wanted to get the thoughts of the community. Anyone got any ideas for a WvW Ranger build? I just finished making my fully ascended berserker gear and Zojja’s Longbow so I can’t really deviate away from that, or I’d prefer not to. Anyone have any ideas on what traits/slot skills to run?
Anyone got a good WvW zerker ranger build? Preferably with LB/GS. I just finished my full set of ascended berserker gear + zojja’s longbow. I’d prefer not to deviate from this gear choice.
Can someone seriously photoshop Shia at the WTS or GW2 press event with a ranger shirt?
EURANTIEN WILL DELIVER US TO THE PROMISE LAND! PRAISE BE TO EURA!
You’re right. I get the impression, the more I look at how the traits are organized and sorted, that rangers reap the most benefits from stacking toughness and healing and vitality, but I’m probably at least technically wrong in that.
Decent build eirazz, but not crazy about running BOTH the LB and SB. Maybe replace SB with S/WH? Just a thought.
Utility skills are the hardest to decide on now. It seems there’s less synergy between skills and traits, or if you take a trait to benefit your skills, you miss out a hugely impactful trait in the same spot.
Seeing as how WvW is my primary ambition I’m trying my hardest to fit this build into that environment but… Thieves.
Got ganked earlier today. Thief poked me twice with his knife and I was down. Thieves were always hard for us I imagine, but now it will seem to be more challenging.
You want the good news or the bad news?
Yes.
Alright fellow rangers, I think we should now take a moment to address the elephant in the room.
Since launch of GW2 I have played a ranger exclusively. For a majority of my time I have played as a condition ranger in one capacity or another and have only recently (past couple months) switched to the LB/GS meta build everyone had been raving about.
It was everything I ever wanted and more. As someone who has been an avid archer for over 11 years, this build suited me and my playstyle perfectly. Then today’s patch hit, and I was confused.
Confused, but not disappointed. On the contrary, I am delighted! I am no longer bound to traitlines and can instead pick and choose those which fit my playstyle. I am still however, lost.
Last night, I completed crafting an entire set of ascended berserker armor and zojja’s longbow.
My question, TL;DR What traits fit in best with the old power ranger stats and playstyle? What traits should I use or which ones have you elected to use and why?
It doesn’t feel as though this build lost any viability, but is the class now weaker by comparison to others who presumably have been buffed as well? What slot skills do you utilize?

Thank you, all of you, for your advice and guidance. I’ve just finished exploring the Maguuma Wastes yesterday and really profited in terms of gathered resources. I’ll have a lot of dungeon crawling to get through.
Alright, so I’ve made the decision that I want to eventually create a full set of ascended leather armor. I’ve kind of started already. I made a couple bolts of Damask which seem to be the biggest hurdle. Anyways, I’m in it for the long haul now. I don’t expect it to be easy.
For those of you who have or are making ascended gear, what can I do each day or week to make progress? How can I gather these materials?
Hi friends!
I used to run Faux’s “RRR” build, the one that runs 0/0/30/10/30 in the trait line with apothecary gear and dwayna runes. Unfortunately, after the patch where rangers got nerfed considerably, I’m having some difficulty figuring out which build will fit the bill now.
Should I even still bother using apothecary gear or should I grind for gold/currency and get new gear? Is there a more effective build than Faux’s at this point that utilizes apothecary gear? I’ve searched the forums and the internets three ways to Sunday and haven’t found much. I’d prefer responses that don’t include, “LOLRANGER, roll a warrior or any other class.” I for some reason refuse to play other classes.
Yeah I’m guessing that’s not gonna happen. No one has any reason to be in Southsun anymore rofl
Thanks for that. I didn’t know about that website. Just checked it out. Very informative, and considering how new it seems to be, it has a lot of potential. I just looked up the event a bit more. After all four villages are saved, do I then have two hours to buy this armor from that point before it resets?
Hello friends!
So I’ve been working on a new build for my ranger? And that settler’s gear in Southsun is just what the doctor ordered. Unfortunately, NO ONE is in Southsun anymore. Not a soul. I checked like, four servers. Empty. And the events reset just as quickly as I can complete them. Is there any way for me to get the settler’s gear from Southsun? It’s unlikely I’ll be able to get my guild to go out of their way to do these events either.
