I’m still not sure how you get 52% crit from a base 21%. I added +100 precision food and the best oil and you were at 33%. 250 stacks gets you to 45% (I added +250 from skirmishing tree – I assume they are equivalent). Any chance you are using Sigil of Accuracy which would bring you to 50%?

No, you forget Spotter gives you 150 precision.

My crit% with my stacks/nutritions. No fury, yet.

Thanks for the feedback, always continuing looking forward to make it any better if possible

I’ll look into both your suggestions.

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

See I’ve already looked passed that build already, and as much as I like it, I feel like there’s not enough HP around it. Sure you have condition removal and what not, but I have practically almost on-par stats as you, with 2k-3k more hp. Crit/crit dmg as I’ve mentioned before aren’t that big of a deal to me, as my crit usually stays at a constant 45-55%.

Thanks for the suggestion, though.

How are you doing in 1v1 fights? Also I don’t think investing in crit dmg at 21% crit rate is such a good idea.
What do you think about that?

I do well in 1v1 fights, usually never having trouble.

If I use my nutritions then I have around ~50-55% crit with my stack of accuracy as well

The crit%/cdmg is somewhat low because I personally have never preferred it. My playstyle has always been the tanky yet able to provide damage, and after several gold put down the drain into experimenting, I think I finally found the right build.

It’s mainly for frontline/midline WvWing, and I can do dungeons perfectly fine with this gear.

Let me know what you all think and what else I can improve on, the ascended accessories aren’t finished yet, but I have an idea of what I plan to do.

Thanks

Oh also to add, I’ve always wanted as a requirement for me to have at least 20k hp,1.5k toughness, and 2k power.

The traits are aligned in so that I have enough survivability, since stability only lasts for 25s.. and with SoS mastery I can go in and out of fights taking little to no dmg, considering I have condition removal. It also sets me up for wolf fear, as well.

I personally have ran with the sword/warhorn/dagger combo for the longest time. I always prefer it over the greatsword, but whenever I need to do damage without a target, I go with the GS because with the sword, you’ll be flying everywhere, and quite frankly that is about the only thing I don’t like about the sword.

Rangers already have practically no problem sniping from afar and with their dmg on the longbow it just makes no sense to have the red moa only benefit the longbow.

The fact that you have 30 second duration with 20 second cooldowns makes it an even bigger problem.

In short, it only benefits one weapon, not the other weapons that do need some revamp (shortbow). Longbow is already good for whakittens meant to be.
