Pvp isnt dead
.
Last weeks ESL weekly cup gave us 8 teams, the first time in a few months now tbh.
The reason people feel its dead is maybe they see a lot of the top end players have left or arent playing as much.
They will return, theres much to look forward to i feel it in me bones!
Personal note, my pops are still pretty quick

Hey Jebro, I’m from the SOAC podcast channel, and one of the ranger casters. Just a heads up that we communicate regularly, and sorry I didn’t respond earlier, I’ve been MIA enjoying the start of my summer off with the gf.
Anyhow, it’s a solid build setup, I’ll give you that. I do have to be honest and say I’d argue with a few of your choices though.
Nothing major. I just personally don’t see flame trap as necessary for the build. Torch 5 already acts as an on demand flame trap and isn’t your only source of burning, and while I totally, totally understand more burning, my preference would be to pick up Signet of the Hunt since it also increases the movement speed of pets and would raise your cats DPS on a moving target significantly.
I also wouldn’t want to go with Protect Me either, mainly because with a heavy investment into Beastmastery, using a utility with a high probability of killing the pet and heavy dependency on the pet being fairly intact when activating it has always seemed counterproductive to me. I’d personally probably replace it with Signet of Renewal, if you are using it for the stunbreak feature, and then it doubles up as an AoE full condi removal that also cleanses allies in range.
Sic’ Em is fine, no argument there. Other than that, there is always the option of working in Signet of the Wild for the passive healing for you (higher passive heals on the pet) and the pet and then activating it for the increase in damage on the pet (25% more damage due to the enlargement transformation it gets).
Still solid though, I’m not going to sit here and nitpick it all day. I just wanted to provide some feedback and some stuff to maybe think about lol. Like Geomancy is usually your typical option for sigils, especially on your sword set. You could probably drop energy sigils with all of the vigor generation the build has. Not a requirement at all though, you’re just making the build more dodge capable and therefore annoying to kill, which is never a bad thing haha.
Glad to see you’re enjoying the ranger though! Especially since they’ve recently fallen out of the EU “meta,” at least for ESLs.
Edit: One last criticism; you should try out Celestial now on builds like this. It’s surprisingly effective, even though you’ll lose a little condition damage and toughness. The vitality gain and damage stats gain seem to more than make up for it, and help rangers compete with the current “tanky” meta builds a bit better than full condi investment does.
DUDE!
Some EXCELLENT suggestions thank you so much!
I was using the signet indeed b4 going for the flame trap, mainly because of the reasons you said. Then I wasn’t so sure and switched, so glad my original thought had logic xD.
Celestial def will try that out as well! Makes sense in this build! How did you feel the settlers amulet did in this build set up btw?
Ill give these changes a try. Also I do have a gameplay video Ill be releasing tomorrow of me in a match.
Cheers again!
Hey guys
Thankyou so much for the feedback. Like I said even for myself as a noob really at ranger I enjoyed the build but all suggestions and points above are great!
Really thankyou so much for all the feedback.
Anyone trying the build much?
(edited by jebro.6370)
itd be really great to try and get the ranger forum flowing again, any comments on this build? Even if you disagree its fine!
Thank you to BOON for participating a great show yet again. The video will be up on my youtube later today! and Ill link here. Two parts due to a dc (thanks virgin media)
Going live in 30 mins ish
I think it would be good to hear ventaris thoughts and explanation on the current state of necromancer. Both for condi and power.
My personal question is just how did you build your team, how do you support a necro , whats his main ebjective etc. ?
Will ask that question for sure
I disagree that the AI does everything for you.
With the turrets you have an activate to get abilities off. I think what anoys people is the knockback off point.
Engineer wise ISNT played in top competitive spvp atm guys.
Turrets I feel might even bring them back when people actually venture away from the standard kits/utilities.
Also think about the flame turret. Yes it burns, but the main use I use it for is the blind on activate for such things as downing, mitigating burst damage etc etc,
Played well turrets really can make any 1v1 go in the favour of an engineer, even vs conditions.
I feel that most of the anger/frustration comes from decapping. If so, get yourself some stability, some blocking, some resistance to those abilities. Yea its anoying Ive played against them, but at the end of the day they are a lot weaker in so many other areas that I dont feel a nerf for this is useful or needed.
Cheers!

(edited by jebro.6370)
But you made some great points! Once again thanks for the awesome feedback everyone! Im still loving this build and it really fits the way I like to play mesmer, which is, I must admit….at a distance
@Elegant nice reply but I still prefer CS in this build.
I think using either is pretty sweet tbh
(edited by jebro.6370)
Some good points, BUT the stun isnt 100% plus the daze duration does go up by 25% if you dont stun. I believe it is supposed to be anyways… not 100% sure. Maybe someone can say for sure?
So to update I am looking for other teams that even finished top 20 or so in ToL. So if your team is looking to get some covergae let me know in game or here or even a PM on the forums!.
@Gesho, its a post generally not really directed to anyone tbh
I just wanted to add something here. There is a big difference between an Engi playing a Turret build spamming turrets compared to a good engie that can utilise all the turrets in combination with combo fields.
Such as the thumper turret blast on active and not explode on destruction, with a build I run atm I have 8 blasts, combined with other classes its so dam fun let alone great for many situations.
Engineer is weak vs condi also you can burst him down with enough spike damage.
I feel the reason people get upset is because they arent thinking outside the box. Pick up the build, play it yourself and see where the weaknesses are. Its one of the best ways to find out. Either that or like Grouch said earlier there are ways, #askanengi.
Lets not complain on mass about a class mechanic that’s finally become viable, its new really in spvp as its a lot stronger than before, so your bound to have many issues coming up against it, not many people at least EU side used it before the 15th April feature pack.
Ask a question here or start up another thread entitled: How to take out a turret Engie build. Theres a power and Condi variation at the least running various turrets. Thumper Turret being the main turret of choice in most builds.
Thanks

Updated the video:
http://youtu.be/srf8AH-xjco
Now on youtube no twitch fun times now
Also I do feel with the Utilities that the Crush build uses and the weapon set difference the two build can play a lot differently even if there is only a varied small change in traits/sigils.
It means getting into melee range more where as with this build I never really need to get up close and personal.
Also the elite, time warp atm now is more useful than mass invis, personally. If you watch say Misha in 55 HP monks, the way TW is used can REALLY switch up team fights ridiculously. So even though they are similar in many ways they are still quite different
Hey all! Thanks for the feedback.
Yeas they were my guinea pigs a great bunch of guys and did a great job.
Yea the stream was a little delayed as well rough time was given. Also last minute. They will return with a full lineup.
Also Ill be posting the VoD tonight on my youtube channel at youtube.com/unityjebro the next cast will be in the next week. Team yet to be decided.
Hey all!
Another reward track chest opening video! This time the Crucible of Eternity!
Cheers!

Well, I dunno if its strong competitively, but its pretty fun at the very least
guys… all your comments are just immensely awesome and useful! Im switching the build round a lot but come back to it in the end in the last few days. I did change to the air sigil though!
But yea really nice mesmer players out there and in the forums.
BTW: Game play video

Thanks for the kind words as well guys!

I used it for ages its AWESOMENESS I agree ! But I dunnooooo :P I love those stuns my friend!
Warlord Ive switched to Air now to give it a bash.
Im using Suggestions for stuns really. Otherwise well, the stunner wouldnt be the stunner.
I feel like with Necros especially and condi builds I come up against and even thiefs that trait helps out a shedload
Hey all!
EDIT: This build is likely to be more viable atm! Let me know your thoughts below. This is in regards to the new stability changes! ****
So people must have been playing around with variations of this build but Im not seeing many people using this rune set up.
The build is focussed on dazing and stunning oponents to build vulnerability causing massive damage and using timewarp and null field to assist with support.

Pls leave feedback, even if you hate it, itd be awesome to see how it can be improve/tweaked or whatever.
I like to play this build for fun primarily, but I do feel its pretty nice in a team situation.
Thanks all
Jebro
p.s. Im not saying this is the BEST build, or I am the BEST mesmer player Discalimer there
(edited by jebro.6370)
@Katniss – Yea dude I saw the feedback REALLY good feedback! I love it! Also anywone thats given feedback/other options GREAT!
In terms of Mist form vs flash for me, well its that extra get away really I like Mist form but meh I just prefer flash for my style and for the other reasons posted above.
Guys how else can this build be altered. People say energy sigil instead of perhaps doom or might? Whats the view on this
Well I think the reasons were justified above and NP Prev !
@Nutshel + @Todd. You may both know this build inside and out, but how about all the new players coming in from pve/wvw, those people that have also recently bought the game?
Im thinking big picture.. I appreciate your views, and I always produce a game play video after the build. That will be inc soon.
Thanks
Jebro
P.s Isnt it also good to just show that once again its viable? Also, when did celestial amulet get used a billion times in build videos B4 the feature patch, Id love to see a link pls. thanks again
