Guild Wars 2

I run, Rampagers with Whispers Chest armor and Knights accessories with Berserker jewels, Assassins backpack with Berserker Jewel.

Food also plays a big roll in my build, I use the one that adds (66% chance to life steal with 70+ to precision) and (6/4% toughness = precision).

Having, 2 sigils of the same type won’t stack, sigils also have internal cool down of 9 seconds before the next sigil kicks in and only 1 sigil can run at a time.

E.g. Run sigil of earth for 30 seconds it procs at the 25second and you weapon swap at 30seconds there is 9 second internal cool down still running before the next sigil kicks in and if its a weapon swap sigil it won’t proc at all.

Just some WvW fun. Enjoy

I really need to start fraps before I go into battle.

Sigil, Traits & Food.

Yeah I think I’ll give it a test with more Skirmishing, I do like the sounds of more critical damage and that should buff critical chance to at least 95% which works extremely well for me.

As for pet’s I’ll keep testing combos and find what works best for me. I’ve tested so many different combos I’m not sure what I like these days. I was running Drakehound + Wolf that worked really nice, but I like the stalker cause it adds 5 might stacks which well is extremely handy, while under RoA I can get over 20 might stacks in combo that’s a massive buff and cause I’ve traited so my pets also get my boons makes them even more stronger.

Armor = Rampager’s with Undead runes, and Whisper chest.
Acc’s = Knights with Berserker jewels.
Backpack = Assassins with Berserker jewels.

Hi, I’m WvW roamer and I’ve got a solid build but I feel I could improve my build.

The stat’s from the items are similar to my PvE Items for WvW. I’m not looking to improve my 1v1 as I murder anything I come across. I stack might with a 91% chance to critical, what I’m trying to find is there way to improve my build while keeping my damage output.

Turn auto-attack off and it’s fine. In most fights your not going to sit there and spam 1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1 that much normally 2-3 times and change skill/dodge. So how anyone is having problems with the sword is beyond me.

@Adult Magazine.9052 There are allot of people on DR server that roam solo, so before you start saying we can only win as a zerg come and beat me down.

My idea on pets.

- Take less damage from AoE
- Faster cast time on the F2
- Better AI/Path finding

That’s about it, one biggest problems with pets atm is is AoE in WvW/SPvP pets die stupidly fast, and its really painful losing half our damage in team fights thanks to AoE damage, its not like we have control over the movement of our pets and its real pain when our pet runs into E.g. traps.

I spent hours in duels daily and I love it, when I want a team game I join a larger filled game, its the best of both worlds thanks to duels I’ve learn’t to beat allot of classes which I used to get steam rolled by.

Duels are a perfect place to learn player skill.

@LARP lol fail….. Talk is cheap why don’t you come to WvW and find me and kill me, no wait only thing LARP is good at is being a “Forum Warrior”.

Hey guys guess what you guys are going to get a nerf, after watching the YouTube clip with one of the game designers you couldn’t half tell by his reaction to the d/d ele he dam well knows there overpowered in some area’s.

So brace yourself for the nerf its going to happen.

@LARP, you guys want a free tut stop running away from 1 ranger when your getting your face stomped. Also tell that Char Thief to stop running away his bow does more damage why is he losing so badly. Oh I know try pressing more then 1 key over and over.

What a joke….. Learn some respect and get a rep for your guild cause atm your just as bad as the rest.

Crit/Conds builds work really well with Axe/Torch Combo, with the right sigils + you want the weapon swap bonuses, you will hit allot harder with a Crit build then wasting 30 points into power.

Axe/Torch, Sword/Horn make a nasty combo for SPvP and WvW. I recommend using Crit/Conds build and use QZ+SS combo with your Sword/Horn.

Only problem I see Xsorus is you lack the burst damage now. Seen as your not running PI your missing that sudden burst damage you used to have, need to find a new way adding that damage back in.

Ok that explains Concentration Training, but that doesn’t explain why Might Roar unless its a bad description. It clearly states 12 seconds but only lasts 9 seconds.

I’ve been trying to find a good boon build, I’ve been running tests with “Concentration Training + Mighty Roar” now Concentration Training doesn’t seem to boost the boon at all and the Mighty Roar is meant to last 12 seconds but when applied it only lasts 9 seconds.

Is it a bug or am I just miss reading how it works

Aeneasx.1589:

LegoTechnic.5910:

So even LARP employs exploiting thieves that continually vanish like in the video. And here I thought you were actually trying to bring a good fight.

Would I be correct in assuming you were one of the many Dev’s we just repeatedly rolled in EB.

Just stop before you embarrass yourself.

EDIT: It’s an issue beyond our control.

Hi, just wondering if your that LARP Char Thief.

Biggest tip I can give ya mate, is swap you pet out allot, not only do you get QZ but there have been so many times where I’ve got someone right on me and I’ve changed pet, and you get get QZ and your pet does as well so he knocks/stuns/crips the foe on you and saves you so you can turn the fight around.

I know what your saying, server I’m on doesn’t seem to have the problem of thief camps and I don’t know if its me but thief’s seem to be getting easyer to beat, It’s Ele/Mesmers that I think are one’s you worry about, a good Ele is allot harder then a thief to beat same with a Mesmer. But that could have allot to do with the build I run or the tactics I use might not cater so well for them 2 classes.

Whats so hard to believe its WvW allot of nubs there its easy to faceroll as a conds ranger, but I do spend allot of my time solo or roaming with small groups there more fun then following the mindless zerg.

@Deathbearer, I don’t use glass cannon in WvW you don’t need to, I run condition ranger and when I’m with the zerg I change to longbow/shortbow combo, but rangers tank comes from dodge & protection.

After watching more and more videos on youtube and videos I’ve recorded, something really stands out, ranged weapons get Evaded/Obstructed and melee weapons get Evaded/Missed, I never seen ranged attack get the “Miss” once, only “Evaded/Obstructed” and by only seeing Obstructed we think its a bug naturely when its really just a miss.

I took good look at Xsorus.2507, video over and over again the projectile missed its target and then says Obstructed, makes me think maybe Anet has designed ranged to say Obstructed over Miss.

Take look at melee on youtube not once so far have I see them Obstructed but I have seem them miss there target.

We “Kite” melee so they miss, so why can’t they kite our projectiles and the term used is Obstructed, projectiles are not heat seeking missiles so there not going to suddenly change direction.

I hope they keep the kick timer for AFK players WvW, I’m sure people would hate to be waiting to get into BL due to 500 people being afk.

http://youtu.be/c0E39SzSKrs 3:31 vs a guardian he dodges then it follows by 2 shots being “Obstructed” . I wonder if it is combat delay, your axe is saying target is at location X and then the target changes location to Y but your axe is already in the air. Even know your computer has registered the new location of your target but try’s to send the information back to update the axe but doesn’t make it in time and it still thinks its hitting location x but has registered an object at location Y.

Just an idea….

Hi, few clips of some battles I really enjoy while in WvW and I wanted to share them. I hope you enjoy.

I tend to swap between Muddy Terrain and Quickening Zephyr.

Armor: Rampagers, Whisper Chest with Undead runes, Knights with Berserker Jewels and Assassin backpack with Berserker Jewel.

*Note my Sigils on my Axe & Torch has changed in some of the clips.

This footage isn’t trying to prove anything its just some WvW fun.

For those that missed Part 1 http://youtu.be/imPsk-Q5LqM

Nice mate, what build are you running.

I’m always looking for ways to improve my build.

@Jay Hows it feel to be trolled. lol

@Cloud, Look I think biggest problem here is people are so hell bent with ranger rage sure we have our reasons, but when they see statement like “Hope it helps people understand a ranger better.” They turn this from a positive to a negative. Its human nature when we hate something we don’t see the good side only the bad side.

E.g. Now its your first week as a ranger you have no real idea what your doing so ya come to ranger forums to find out builds, check out what’s going on, you see video you watch it and guess what “Hope it helps people understand a ranger better.” becomes a positive.

I enjoyed the WvW and wanted to share it, if it doesn’t help you that’s fine each to there own.

@Jay, Record some PvP footage I want to see your skill.

@YumCHA, Record some PvP and post it I want to see your skills in action.

@Agadar Please if your going to judge someone on there skill and there play style at least know the person, I have my reasons for playing the ranger.

Also take read of your post and you prove me right about the feedback.

Almost all the feed back was uttly stupid. Its like there trolling me. Only people giving me feed back that isn’t being a twat, are people being positive.

I’ll listen when they start posting footage of there PvP, until then there words are meaning less, far as I know they unskilled forum warriors.

WvW is my home, I will keep posting more video’s. Lets hope next video I don’t get so much negative feedback.

Had some thrilling battles last night, really tested my limits.

Cheers Mate, yeah I’m back out recording had some killer battles so far.

@Toma, lol huh.

Just so you know my build was designed for WvW with PvE items, big part of my build has to do with the food I use which can’t be used in SPvP.

@Jay, Mate i deleted my post cause your a forum troll going by your history and there is no need for being negative, mate I clearly out played them.

So no more posts here please.

@awge thanks mate, reason I use Muddy Terrain, I get way better crowd control out of mud the recharge (24) and duration (20) are really good and they combo with bonfire from my axe (bonfire does 4,644 without stacks in 1 sec + 448×8 if they stand in it) so mud really helps that skill also helps me keeping people at bay as it keeps crippling them if they try to run throw it.

You combo my pets skills with mud you can keep players stuck in place for ages while you stack the conditions and heal up.

Reason I use drake hound he has 3 ccs, and spider has 2 with a poison combo field.

Enjoy what a ranger can really do, still working the kinks out but I’m getting closer.

Who needs PvE when you can farm players.

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fMEQNAV3fjAVN2ZWWWsWCi2DOJJMxPw//hY5K4/S2QUA;TkAqmMNJay2krJZTrFGZsFA

PvE/Dungeons, no idea never done much of it.

Hi, I finally got around to recording some WvW footage of my ranger.

http://youtu.be/imPsk-Q5LqM

Hope you enjoy.

Shortbow and Axe/Torch setup.

Hope it helps people understand a ranger better.

Guest Staring Onamuk [TRx], great to team with held his own.

Get into habit of pet swapping when they are off CD, your pet has allot of useful skills.

I vote they give both Mesmers & Thiefs a -50% dmg reduction, and make there main weapon a wet paper bag, and turn all there skills to “Your Still Stronger Then Rangers”.

Hi Dev’s I would like a reply on when the next ranger update, and will we be viable in PvP.

Add the skill “Track” lasts 5 seconds with a 45 second cool down, and is aoe skill with the range of 500 with a 1/2 cast time, make it a utility skill rangers can use.

This will help balance the meta.

Go to YouTube and watch thief’s pvp in WvW and you will see why this skill is needed. After watching a thief being able to stand in the middle of a zerg killing poeple problem free, it has shown me that there needs to be counter.

To have a more of a balanced meta there needs to be a counter for everything so there can’t be OP builds and there is no “BEST BUILD”.

Can’t wait for DR gets to next tier, lets hope it isn’t this boring.

I don’t mind fighting LARP, just all there thief’s like to abuses the bug, there is a difference between a good thief and build designed around the bug to make the bug most effective so they can beat people in combat.

You can always tell when you see one of these thief’s as they are taking one 10 players themselves without a problem.

There was thief other night, when Kain made there big push who sat on around 15 of us none stop using rendering bug it was just plan stupid. Everyone was sick of some noob hitting on us for few K crit damage without losing cloak and when they did they insta cloaked.

Now there are few thief’s that use skill and don’t use the noob bug build they are the real thief’s.

You can call this QQ if you want but fact is fact, if you wanna abuse a bug and call it skill then I’ll call you a noob.

LARP, from Kain stop using the god darn rendering glitch on your thief’s, its becoming a joke. There is no skill in using a bug to win your fights.

Jay, give the build run, you will find you don’t really need Emphatic Bond.

I was running it for a while, but when I changed over to bark skin I was winning allot more fights and living allot longer.

Biggest part of why I don’t use it I tend to use RaO allot to win 2 v 1 and I use my pet to snare the target so I can’t afford to have him dead or slowed. The might stacks I get with my short bow from RaO also avg 3-4k crits from my lynx which is really handy when I need to down the guy asap, so I can kill the next guy.

Well unless you want to throw away 100+ toughness and condition damage, by all means change, but it effects the build massively, this build general idea is to beat down targets fast while being able to tank several targets at once.

I normally roam around with my team mate (engineer cond’s tank build solo build as well), the amount of fights we have won where we are out numbered was thanks to me being able to tank at 25% life, most rangers start running away at 25% life where as I can keep pushing forward knowing my tank will hold just in time for me to get the kill or proc my heal and dodge away and spam my combo.
