That was not WvW Meta. WvW Meta includes having Wilderness Survival instead of Marksmanship, Runes of Durability, half Berserker and half Marauder gear, Unstoppable Union in Soulbeast, and different Runes in the weapons.

Hmm I’m not looking for WvW, just pve and open world..:) any suggestions if I can still use those build for open world as per link above?

Again, what I posted will work very well in PvE. You really do not need to rely much on PvE builds. Damage is really all you need. They have toned down the enemies in PvE so that they don't really pose much of a threat to players anymore.

I only looked at the traits. Right i forgot that marksmanship is not used anymore after the lead the wind change.

For open world PVE, my ranger uses the WvW "Sic'em Roamer" build from Metabattle, with some tweaks for my personal satisfaction such as Scholar runes. It rocks in open world PVE since it combines decent damage with extra durability.

I'd run Clarion Bond over Stoneform, as you already have SoS on the utility bar, and in PvE your pet will be out tanking for you.

I'd also swap out Owl for something meatier like Bear. You won't need Swoop in merged form in PvE as you have mounts.

If running HoT or PoF content I'd run Bear Stance for condi removal. For core tyria Heal as One is just fine.

On weapons sigil of energy isn't necessary (more a WvW thing). Replace with Sigil of Force.
