i think i used prepared shot, apply poison, savage and dshot, nat stride, troll.. and that was pretty much it

or i used cripshot, hunters shot, savage and dshot, apply poison, nat stride and troll... one of the 2, just degened him to death and stayed away from him.

I used a Beast Mastery build for both the griffon and the rabid bear. All you have to do is lock the pet's target and stay out of the way. Then spam skills on recharge.

Glacial Griffon uses Binding Rituals, not Spells, so Daze from [[Broad Head Arrow] will not have an effect.

Just use degen, evasion, snares, blind, interrupts, etc. to kill it. Rangers excel at that.

I was going to also suggest what you posted

If you also have a mesmer secondary adding [conjure nightmare] will not hurt (hex and run stay away from the spirits

I just did this. This was my build.

Read the Wind (So that longbow range is more accurate).
Poison Arrow. 4 degen.
Hunters shot. 2 degen.
Signet of Infection. 4 degen. (Max).
Lightning reflexes (To take out any spirits that were spammed on your hill).
Feel no pain (For spot spirit damage countering so you don't interrupt your degenning).
Troll Unguent (In case of lag/miscalculations).
Whirling Defense (Also in case of lag/miscalculations).

Worked like a charm. Run up the hill, read the wind, then degen in the order of the bar. Poison arrow sends it running after you, hunters shot lands to bleed, and infection to max the degen.

Then back up till the griffin goes to home position and use lightning reflexes to take out any spirits it spammed on your hill and start the process over again.

If you are really confident you can just drop troll unguent for sloth hunter to do large damage.

Hope that helps.

If you already have R8 Ursan, change your secondary to rit and get shadowsong. Drop the spirits outside the griffon's spirit's range, wait for him to drop, pull him to you, switch to ursan, and spam 1, 2, 3 =)

Cheers.

toxicity+barbed arrows+poison arrow+longbow+kite = win win

Honestly, I did it on my warrior with just a longbow, barbed arrows and poison arrow. Hit and kite, rinse and repeat.

Why use a pet? It takes two skill slots, and the spirits will blind it. It's much simpler to kill the griffon yourself. Or do you just use the pet to draw fire?

Wiki recommends interrupts, spoil victor and others. Here's the link to find out more. http://guildwars.wikia.com/wiki/Glacial_Griffon
