Damage

  • Use to the side of enemy groups, not directly inside them, and make sure you're not standing in the direction they're pushing since it locks you in place
  • Your Autoattacks in Greatsword are a very strong filler if you can use them safely, try to chain them until is ready if possible
  • Save for gapclosing on greatsword instead of using it for damage

Support


Settings

  • Under General Options / User Interface check Always show squad health bars and Always show party health bars. These will make it much easier to keep track of who needs your support.
  • Also under General Options / User Interface turn on Thick party health bars
    • Thick squad health bars can be used too as a matter of personal preference, but is not recommended for large numbers
  • Under Squad Options uncheck View as a grid. This will allow you to keep track of your allies' boons, conditions and health, enabling a better decision-making and skill management.

Solid build, essential at small group sizes but limited usefulness at large scales due to being melee locked. Has some of the best CC in the game with its Immobilize access.
5 stars
BigFree gave this build 5 stars • February 2022
This is a great build that allows for a group role for a Ranger. The Ranger can play at the periphery (swap to LB) of the group as a semi-scout or at the core of the group. This build includes a Stability/Stun Break for up to 5 members in the group as well as a Heal/Condi cleanse for the same amount of players. The CC abilities are really what is top notch for this build.
