Arete gave this build 4 stars • April 2022
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.
