The Ultimate GW2 Ranger Guide | 2024 Meta Builds for PVE

This comes at a perfect time as I a few days ago started testing ranger and got 3 builds going. I absolutely love the ranger and Healer druid specifically. Thanks for your work!

One of the best profession, amazing healer , amazing pdps, pretty good cdps. Just untamed I tried fews times but I never managed to enjoy it, feel like pvp for me.

Very helpful video. I have a Soul Beast/Druid ranger that I never seem to get around to playing. You have nudged me toward dusting it off and pursuing the Untamed spec as well. T

Cant wait for the guardian

perfect, thank you very much you made my day and I presume you will be making my day at least 8 more times

Thanx for the guide, its my first and favorite class. Thou i strugle a bit with fully anderstanding ambusch mechanic in Untamed and how is really funkcion. Meabe you can recomend some guide or something like that.

As a ranger main getting back into the game, this is perfect. Love the video!

Ranger was my first character and I have more hours playing it than all my other characters combined, but I stopped playing it about a year ago so I could try to learn a few other professions. I never got good at playing Untamed when it was first released, but I have played it a little bit recently and warmed up to the use of dual maces. I like the diversity of play styles that you can play with Ranger and the utility that it can provide.

Which build should i use for max power/damage? High damage satisfying me, makes the game more fun. I want to be number 1-5 in arcdps add on 😂

For Open World you could actually get a lot more damage and boon uptime with a traitline and relic swap. I would swap Nature Magic for Marksmanship and go 2-2-2 and then bring Relic of the Midnight King. This allows you to stack up a lot of vulnerability, might, and fury really quickly by simply using your CC skills. Mainhand sword is incredible for this setup since its Ambush causes Daze. Having 3 leap skills for mobility is really nice too. I generally run Sword/Axe for damage and then any second weapon can be quite strong. Hammer for more damage, Maces for more sustain and CC, Spear for stealth, or even Axe with Mace or Warhorn for ranged damage and self support. Played this way the build maintains 25 Might and 25 Vulnerability while also having permanent Quickness and 100% crit cap, meaning it loses very little damage when played solo compared to played in a group. If you want to maintain your boons comfortably, I find you only need 20%-30% boon duration, meaning you could simply use a few Celestial gear pieces to reach it. With this setup you can actually reach 20k+ dps solo on champions and bounties and such while also being really survivable.

For Janthir Wilds I actually recommend Mutate Conditions as it can completely remove all stacks of all conditions and provides a solid stunbreak. Offhand mace is also really good here since Mace 4 cleanses conditions and provides stability as well.

did someone say druid? :PeepoArrive:

perfecttt time

Absolutely love the concept of this video!
Although I think that timestamp could be extremely benificial to rewatch part or jump places to places without missing out

Thx for your work buddy

I main necro for heal scourge and reaper but now with the upcoming changes to heal scourge I started a ranger. Already got the heal druid geared up and now looking at a DPS build for the ranger. IF Anet goes through with the changes to transfusions then Ranger will be my main. Gotta get used to Ranger so this guide helps. Tnx!

Question to the ranger mains, I’m currently thinking of gearing up condi quickness untamed. Is it still good? What are the pros and cons?

Small tip for watchers: Playback speed 1,5.

still can't stop laughing for the fact that the almighty rangers most formidable pet for dps is.... a pig. Not a boar, a pig. 😂

i just smelt my balls and theyre over 9000

Holy crap the last build is exactly what I needed to carry me through the open world, but what stats should I use? Ranger turned out to be a profession with surprising amount of depth, especially when compared to the base game power longbow ranger that I remember from the last time I played GW2 actively.

Can you run short bow with condi dps Druid?

Wait !!! The Mace/Mace + Axe/Axe Soulbeast is no longer viable ??? Gona try this one for sure (The Zerker Build) ! MM AA build is kinda fun but we will see.
