I have decided to come back to Guild Wars to spend some time playing with my beloved. We are both running Rangers (obviously) and it is just going to be us two. Thing is I don't know what skills have changed or what is good/bad anymore. Is the following quote still viable?

This is for completing the campaigns and vanquishing pretty much

This quote is from August and we quit a few months after that.

Quote:

Hey,

My girlfriend and I are trying to come up with a general setup for our 2 Ranger mains along with six heroes. I have pretty much settled on one of us running [build name="SY Ranger" prof=R/W marksmanship=12 expertise=12][distracting shot][save yourselves][triple shot][dual shot][rapid fire][ebon battle standard of honor][infuriating heat][resurrection signet][/build].

As for 3 heroes I was thinking Sabway for 3 of them. And then Racthoh's Paragon builds along with another N/Rt healer (maybe 2 Discord N/Rt healers instead of 2 of Sab's N/Rt healers). I'm not sure what to do for our other ranger though. Any ideas?

One of you should go SY! ranger, and the other should either barrage or glass spike. the glass spiker build should be something like this:
[zojun's shot][point blank shot]["I Am the Strongest!"][sloth hunters shot][asuran scan][glass arrows] and the other two are optional. Maybe also SY. The heroes i think should be: 3 Sabway 3 Discordway. Those setups should own anything.

Any combination of 6 necro heros(discord+sab) is a strong team(they are very OP)

If ur using two rangers and a bunch of necros, Infuriating Heat isnt worth it to power SY

To power SY use Barrage or Incendiary Arrows. Both rangers can use the same build as well, unlike monking it isnt counter-productive, damage is damage.

If you want to be different from each other, Incendiary Arrows/Barrage Ranger is a good combo with a BHA epidemic Ranger though daze wont do much with your necros rolling through everything

I'm not sure about the ranger builds, but for the heroes i would go with;

2 n/rt healers
2 discord mm's
1 ss
1 condition spreader

Orange Milk · Apr 08, 2009, 02:41 PM // 14:41

[Apply Poison][Dwarven Stability][Lightning Reflexes][Whirling Defense][Triple Chop][Cyclone Axe][Whirlwind Attack][Save Yourselves]

Set up the other Ranger as:
[Save Yourselves][I Am The Strongest][Dwarven Stability][Lightning Reflexes][Barrage][Distracting Shot][Savage Shot] last slot Random Attack skill of your Choice

Grab and hold the Agrro witht he Axe Stance Ranger he will spread poison for the discords to spike away.

Be sure to have AT LEAST 2 copies of [Barbs] and [Mark of Pain] between your 1 set of Discord Necros and 1 set of Sabway Necros.

Things die VERY fast.

Sometimes though Idrop the SABways for 2 AoE Eles and monk, just to mix it up a little.

I would adjust my n/rt healer to have [splinter weapon] with a handful of points in channeling.

It seems you have a nice concept for [save yourselves] on the ranger, but you may be going overboard on the multi-arrow attack skills, unless you incorporate some damage buffs like [order of pain] or [mark of pain] or [by ural's hammer] or [asuran scan] or [favorable winds] or.... (should I continue?)

ES/Pet is my favorite. Just KD your enemies all the time, should be pretty much spamable with ES on you both + some more KD spells. If you use this I would run 3discord, and not sabway. SS on KD'ed foes is pretty much a waste. Throw in a condition spreader, aswell as you bring some conditions, and some more dmg, SF nukers would be most used.

Xenomortis · Apr 14, 2009, 02:52 PM // 14:52

An orders necro would be nice. Either [Order of the Vampire] or [Order of Pain], depending on energy management and if you can afford the elite slot.
Another necro with [Barbs] and [Mark of Pain] (micro this one) will yield very nice results.
If you're running [Glass Arrows], having [Triple Shot] and [Dual Shot] with the above will yield very nice and hilarious spikes.

If you think you can afford it, have both humans take [Great Dwarf Weapon] so you can cast it on each other. If not, have a necro/rit take [Splinter Weapon]

[Asuran Scan] is good.

If one of you is taking [Save Yourselves], then you'll probably need to give the orders necro [Dark Fury] (which means no OotV), or perhaps [Mark of Fury] on micro.

[Ebon Battle Standard of Honor] and [I am the strongest] can also be used to up the damage to quite hilarious numbers.

Not sure if you should really bother with [Infuriating Heat] as it's an elite spirit. A necro with [Dark Fury] should cover it, but you'll need to mind the sacrifice.

go with both barrage+SY! rangers, an orders d/n, a curses/channel nec, a resto nec, 2 hybrid paras, and a jagged mm w/prots

Sir masterbow · May 08, 2009, 07:55 PM // 19:55

Sabway is made for teams with physicals, Racway is all about physicals.
Easy as that.

Daesu · May 08, 2009, 10:50 PM // 22:50

You have 2 rangers and no GDW?

For a very simple and fast setup this is what I use if I dont have any special needs for the area is to use discordway+ROJway (3 monks).

I play with a passive character, and my ranger since I have 2 accounts, and the passive character carries: Summon Ice Imp, GDW, and EVSW as his pve skills.

stretchs · May 12, 2009, 03:03 PM // 15:03

My suggestion would be to go with the Paragon build Ractcoh runs. 2-4 paras and a Derv/n orders bot to help beef up your attacks. After that fill in the rest with whatever the area requires.

Super Igor · May 12, 2009, 04:24 PM // 16:24

discord ftw...

Betrayer of Wind · May 12, 2009, 10:46 PM // 22:46

2 rangers is alot of fun if you give a good mix of skills,maybe you'd want both rangers with SY running [Incendiary Arrows]+[Ebon Battle Standard of Honor]+[Ignite arrows] along with [triple shot] and stuff,its alot of damage and constant SY.

For heroes,i'd use 1-2 rits resto/channeling with [splinter weapon] and maybe [warmonger's weapon](aoe interrupt ftw),possibly a [anthem of fury][anthem of envy][go for the eyes] paragon to power up ["Save Yourselves!"] and add some dmg/deep-wound.

If you bring [BHA]+poison/bleeding i'd consider a [extend conditions] mesmer for more fun as well as some blind.

I'd also consider a W/P with spear and [stunning strike],since [anthem of fury]'d charge it pretty fast and with the amount of conditions running around shouldnt be a problem to meet the condition requirement.

Finnaly,a MM is always good and can also bring alot of supportive skills,be it offensive or defensive:[order of pain][dark fury][blood ritual][aegis][protective spirit] and such.
