Euthymias.7984 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Looks like Power SB is not anywhere near the insane condi damage builds these days... I'm so tired of this goddamn condi meta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quarktastic.1027 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 I've been tooling around the crystal desert with a similar build. Running moa stance for the extra fury and boon duration, with a smokescale and an electric wyvern on swap in case I need extra CC. One thing to note, the build has no condi cleanse unless you run bear stance (which falls way behind a dual traited troll unguent) and very very little sustain. Probably not too optimal for soloing in the new maps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kain Francois.4328 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 You can get higher dps rotations. Specifically, you should enter battle with SicEm+Maul and combo it with Worldly Impact. On start of battle, I was getting 39k dps, and then went down to about 29k dps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parlance.9584 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Wouldnt a better Power Ranger build be GS / Dag+Axe using full Grieving? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually considered going full Grieving, but I think at some point I had to acknowledge that I'd be just slowly becoming closer and closer to condi-soulbeast. At which point I might as well just go full condi with Viper's. I do think a hybrid would be stronger, but it would almost certainly be more of a condi build than a power build.

Pea.9270 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 I ask my self if the combo on greatsword with 2 - 5 - 2 is not so good. In my opinion the 25% dmg buff is then wasted because the 5 does nearly no dmg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkEmiLupus.2876 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 I think they should have let autoproc maul how it was in beta. It was huge dps but very easy to evade and also without it power sb won't get good performance in anyone of their content. You know who loves really and i mean REALLY much condi builds?? ANET does! Me? I fucking hate them, make power sb great again, ANET!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me? I kitten hate them, make power sb great again, ANET!!! While I have nothing against condi builds in general, condition ranger is very very boring. They had their chance to make power ranger viable for once but decided to make sure it remains dead before releasing PoF. Pretty sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me? I kitten hate them, make power sb great again, ANET!!! I totally agree with you. I mean, the power ranger is still not as good as the cranger and by far worse than other power classes, therefore there was no reason to nerf it at all. Now the burst of worldly impact is even more unbalanced, you can just 1 hit ppl in pvp using attack of opportunity and sic 'em. I don't get why Anet doesn't want to give power rangers a chance, a comment of their side would be nice. Why did anet put more effort into the greatsword's, longbow's, shortsword's and warhorn's animations while the dagger's, shortbow's and torch's ones look boring? A giant bear, a flying eagle, arrow hails, wolf howling, eagle swarms vs casual dagger hits, default torch animations and boring shortbow attacks. How am i supposed to appreciate the condi ranger when the gameplay and animations feel so neglected. Imo the cranger is the most boring build in gw2 atm.

Substance E.4852 Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Pretty sure just camping sword/axe is still the optimal power option as per https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/419/petless-ranger-dps-testing-data#latest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it really so bad compared to other professions? It's perfectly viable for anything story-wise. I did the new story with a GS/LB build cause I like the defensive features with new content and the maul 'feels good'. No problems on that front. That said, you'll likely notice others melting things faster. The bonus with the GS is that you have good burst and more defensive options, so it's a trade-off. Pity Anet felt like nerfing Soulbeast Maul though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However you do give up quite a bit of utility that the other weapons give you, i.e LB is a ranged option and GS brings really good burst/defensive options.

Pity Anet felt like nerfing Soulbeast Maul though. I used a power build for the PoF story too, and it made me realize just how much I've missed my reaper. I've been wondering if a condi build will give me that little bit of extra sustain I need to not loathe playing my ranger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenith.7301 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 They need to buff greatsword auto by 40% and maul by 30% in PvE only. With Sic Em up my maul still hits for less than a regular guardian's whirling wrath. It's pathetic how bad greatsword is right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
