Curse

First off, you should know that I <3 Rangers, and this is what the build contains mainly. And yes, the name of the build is sort of lame.

Anyways, here it is: http://gwshack.us/5dbc5

This build is meant to pressure the opposing team with conditions and a healthy dose of damage from the R/W Bunny Thumper and the R/D Bunny Reaper. The R/D Grenth's Grasp is the main flag runner, with the R/Mo Broad Head Arrow duo-running whenever necessary. The R/Mo Broad Head Arrow and R/D Grenth's Grasp will also gank the opposing team's base whenever necessary.

Things that are missing (that I can think of right now):
Snare (while R/D Grenth's Grasp is running flag)
Enchantment removal
Condition removal (for the R/D Grenth's Grasp flag runner).

I've been thinking of putting Pin Down on the R/P Burning Arrow for a snare, in place of either "GftE!", Natural Stride, or Troll Unguent.

For the Enchantment removal issue, I've been thinking of dropping either Natural Stride or Troll Unguent on the R/D Ebon Dust Aura for Rending Touch, but that might conflict with Ebon Dust Aura. I could also drop either Eremite's Attack or Victorious Sweep for Rending Touch on the R/D Bunny Reaper.

I've been thinking of dropping Wilderness Survival by 1 on the R/P Burning Arrow to make Command 4, and thus adding Anthem of Envy for more pressure damage, in place of either Natural Stride or Troll Unguent.

I'm not sure if the Mo/D Armor of Sanctity/Conviction Monks are plausible, but I don't know...

I might drop the R/Mo Broad Head Arrow for a R/P Smoke Trapper, as seen at the bottom of the GWShack Build. The R/P Burning Arrow will become R/Mo and help with the ganking. Might drop "GftE!" on the R/P Smoke Trapper for Distracting Shot.

Perhaps I should drop Eremite's Attack or Victorious Sweep on the R/D Bunny Reaper for Disrupting Lunge?

That's all I could think of at the moment. Any comments are welcomed and will be openly accepted.

Also, off-topic, but how do you make those words be hi-lighted and, when you hover a cursor over them, they give a skill description? Thanks!

the burning arow ganker cant be r/p with mending touch, so fix that pls. well about the build i would put in some utility like a warder, mesmer with b-surge,ele with blinding,.....i would make the r/d bunny reaper also a normal thumper and i would take harriers grasp and screaming shot on the ebond dust aura. then taking out the burning arrow ranger and subsitute it for a mesmer or ele with wards or b-surge. on the broad head ganker i would take burning arrow for broad and apply poison for barbed arrows. i would drop the grenths grasp ganker for a flag runner mo/e lod or a e/mo with blind,water snares and hal party.

...you totally missed the basis I was making this build with...I just wanted a build with mostly Rangers that would actually work...

If you looked at the bottom, I was going to change the R/Mo Broad Head Arrow to an R/P Smoke Trapper, as well as changing the R/P Burning Arrow to R/Mo Burning Arrow.

If I really took Eles, Mesmers, and other classes, it wouldn't be much of a "Power Ranger" thing anymore...

You have Blind with the Ebon Dust Aura, Interrupts with the Rangers (9 including Broad Head Arrow), Cripple with Grenth's Grasp, Natural Stride on 1/2 the Rangers for defense, Troll Unguent to counter degen/pressure damage.

You don't really need Eles, Mesmers, or other things really...Rangers can do most of that.

You have:
Bleeding, Poison, Cripple, Blind, Burning, Daze, Deep Wound
9 Interrupts
Self-healing capability
Pressure damage
Ability to spike if necessary
Enchantment removal if you add Rending Touch to the R/D Bunny Reaper

Try to make comments about the build stick towards a "Power Ranger" feel :S (meaning, try to stick with the Rangers instead of suggesting a totally different build)

Wouldn't a hard res on the R/P be better?

And why sup runes?

I Phoenix I · Jan 16, 2007, 08:22 PM // 20:22

I guess I could stick [wiki]Signet of Return[/wiki] on the R/P.

Sup Runes are to reach Expertise breakpoints (14 for 10 en, 15 for 15 en)

You need someone with draw conditions or blind will make all you rangers useless. Or you can take Restore condition, but you cant target yourself and your monks will scream if you have to split them up. Its Yust a flesh wound might help or a motivation paragon.

I really doubt that your BHA ranger will hit anything with BHA. The reason people include BHA in splits is because the guy he's hitting is most likely ice hexed or crippled or both. And even then you can probably dodge it.

I Phoenix I · Jan 17, 2007, 01:37 AM // 01:37

I think I'll make the LoD an RC Prot instead.

Ehh...I think the Monks don't necessarily have to split up...the Ebon Dust Aura, Grenth's Grasp, and Broad Head Arrow could probably act as one group if necessary.

Uhh...Grenth's Grasp = cripple and the Broad Head Arrow and Grenth's Grasp are sort of meant to gank together...Also, the BHA could be right next to someone before he uses it as well...

Okee...so before I rewrite the build, answer the following please:

For the R/D Bunny Reaper, pick 2 of the following - [wiki]Eremite's Attack[/wiki][wiki]Victorious Sweep[/wiki][wiki]Rending Touch[/wiki][wiki]Disrupting Lunge[/wiki]
For the R/P Burning Arrow, pick 2 of the following - [wiki]Anthem of Envy[/wiki][wiki]Natural Stride[/wiki][wiki]Troll Unguent[/wiki]
For the R/D Ebon Dust Aura, pick 2 of the following - [wiki]Rending Touch[/wiki][wiki]Natural Stride[/wiki][wiki]Troll Unguent[/wiki]
Do the Mo/D with [wiki]Conviction[/wiki] and [wiki]Armor of Sanctity[/wiki] seem ok? Or just make them Shadow Monks?
Would you rather have an R/Mo Broad Head Arrow + R/D Grenth's Grasp ganking and an R/P Burning Arrow at the stand <or> R/Mo Burning Arrow + R/D Grenth's Grasp ganking and an R/P Smoke Trapper at the stand?

I'll rewrite the build with the modifications once I get some input on the above.

Your build will roll many unexpirienced guilds mainly b/c of the insane amount of pressure. It will stop working once u start fighting real guilds that include balance in there builds. The whole thing about GW, is that its supposed to be balanced. So a team with all there backline/frontline/runners made up of rangers, in theory, should not work to maximum efficiency
