The infamous Dagger Ranger gets used in GvG, a twist in the plot? /FrosTalk\ 10:50, 9 June 2008 (EDT)

Doesn't count Tab, you used Dshot too, that's a ranger with a bow and I would argue it was really Dshot that killed me. Although, you couldn't do it with a BA ranger, does that make rangersins superior to BA rangers? - Misery Is HawtFile:Grumpy bear.JPG 12:17, 9 June 2008 (EDT)
No, but it doesn't mean Rangersins are auto-lose. /FrosTalk\ 12:19, 9 June 2008 (EDT)
Ups, iirc I still beat your VoD build at VoD with a BA. --User:IbreaktoiletsTab Moo 12:19, 9 June 2008 (EDT)

Am I right to have an impression that whole guild wars now relyes on soh mesmers? --Tiger grrr!!Tiger Grrr 13:44, 9 June 2008 (EDT)
If you obsed the game that you ripped this from (nub gladiators)you would probably notice that the r/a got d shot so much and he almost never got an entire combo off. I remember thinking jesus he is totaly shutdown the entire match, this is why you run warriors.I Heal If U Shutup 14:54, 9 June 2008 (EDT)
Just because [Glad] ran it doesn't mean it's fucking great. I agree with I Heal. --File:GoD Wario Sig.JPG*Wah Wah Wah!* 15:54, 9 June 2008 (EDT)

They do. However, he's wrong to say that this is a completely useless trash build. --User:IbreaktoiletsTab Moo 16:50, 9 June 2008 (EDT)

Clearing some things up

There's been a fair bit of badness here. This build is not great, but it's not worthy of 0-0-0s and 1-1-1s either.

  • It's been said that Leaping Mantis and Dash is not a reliable snare. This is not true, saying that is like saying Bull's Strike is terrible because you're never going to land it. It just requires that you occasionally stop intently watching your skill bar and pay a small amount of attention to the field.
  • No deep wound. First of all, this is meant for a physical heavy build - ie you take it to fulfill a niche role when you feel that you already have enough DW - see the case where Glad used it. I know that Glad running a build doesn't make it good, but it is useful in certain roles. Secondly, Impale is in Variants. Nothings stoping you taking it.
  • "Lol dagger ranger". Dagger rangers are mostly bad. That doesn't mean all are bad.
  • "Sins can do this better". SA sins are fragile, with pretty unstable energy. They don't really do anything much better than this. Energy management is atleast as good if not better here, and the increase in damage is minor between the two professions. This lets you use SA more often, which is better in certain cases, as well as being more durable.

--User:IbreaktoiletsTab Moo 16:31, 9 June 2008 (EDT)

I've talked to Ska about it, and we've got a few clear viewpoints on the build - great, working but not great and trash. I'm going to leave it for another Admin or BM to look at and decide where it goes. --User:IbreaktoiletsTab Moo 17:26, 9 June 2008 (EDT)

TBH, it's not the best fucking thing out there, but does pack quite a few utilities (snare, stance removal, enchantment removal, etc). --File:GoD Wario Sig.JPG*Wah Wah Wah!* 17:27, 9 June 2008 (EDT)
I know that. See my vote. --User:IbreaktoiletsTab Moo 17:27, 9 June 2008 (EDT)

Yeah, didn't see variants. Stupid template always puts it at the bottom. — Rapta Rapta Icon1 (talk|contribs) 18:00, 9 June 2008 (EDT)
Also, I can kill monks in RA with this. I'm so pro. — Rapta Rapta Icon1 (talk|contribs) 18:09, 9 June 2008 (EDT)
I refuse to RA with melee characters, I face not 2 but 3 anti-melee hexers 3 games in a row who all shit on me. I got banned shortly after. — Skakid 18:10, 9 June 2008 (EDT)

More like LOL I'm exhausting and pressuring you while you uselessly spam skills to try and counter the 120 damage auto attacks and covered deep wounds every 3 seconds. - PANIC! Panic sig4 sexiness! 05:08, 10 June 2008 (EDT)
Covered deep wound? - Misery Is HawtFile:Grumpy bear.JPG 05:10, 10 June 2008 (EDT)
You mean paired with a Wounding Strikeamajigger? - Misery Is HawtFile:Grumpy bear.JPG 05:11, 10 June 2008 (EDT)
ayup. Somehow I lost the part about your friends doing the autos and dws. - PANIC! Panic sig4 sexiness! 05:21, 10 June 2008 (EDT)

Dear Frv

Is it really that useful in HB in it's current form? There is no deep wound. I assume you want the player to run this and players tend to be the prime source of damage and usually the only deep wound. I think the HB version would look quite different. - Misery Is HawtFile:Grumpy bear.JPG 11:12, 12 June 2008 (EDT)

You take Impale in HB I would guess since no need for res... /FrosTalk\ 11:18, 12 June 2008 (EDT)

You take rend on an ele/monk/something, not this. -Shen 11:15, 12 June 2008 (EDT)

SA is pretty crappy pressure though and heroes aren't that hot at helping out with pressure, plus you will probably split so I just don't see this having the moxy to kill in HB without big scary scythes to support it. If people have started running WS dervs on their heroes, then yeah, maybe this would work, or perhaps if heroes can run this well which I doubt. - Misery Is HawtFile:Grumpy bear.JPG 11:22, 12 June 2008 (EDT)
Ive seen Crit Scythes with Wounding Strike on Hero's lately -_- /FrosTalk\ 11:23, 12 June 2008 (EDT)
What kind of rank and were they any good? I haven't HBed in a while because I hate it, but last I saw everyone and their uncle ran two monks with a spiker of some sort(usually a sin) and a splittable character. - Misery Is HawtFile:Grumpy bear.JPG 11:26, 12 June 2008 (EDT)
This build is good for pressuring monks who are spamming prots and heals to try and counter DW faggotry and 100+ damage auto attacks. Not much else besides that and RA where you can pretty much count on casters (including monks) to be semi-spamming with no support from their other team members. - PANIC! Panic sig4 sexiness! 11:27, 12 June 2008 (EDT)
I can't remember misery, All I remember was it had criteye, WS, mystic, WotM, Sin's remedy and return. Didn't see the rest. /FrosTalk\ 11:30, 12 June 2008 (EDT)
Massacre Way uses WS critscythe anton sometimes I think. -Shen 11:38, 12 June 2008 (EDT)


Am I the only one that sees the great synergy between leaping mantis strike and exhausting assault? Gogey 17:08, 13 June 2008 (EDT)

Yup--Relyk Purifying Veil SigRELYK ʞlɐʇ ʎɯ 18:29, 18 June 2008 (EDT)

Name

Refers to Exhausting Assault instead of Shattering Assault, wich is, of course, the Elite used in the build. I'd probably go with Shattering Assault Ranger, or something more creative like Shattering Exhaustion. =P ــмıкεнaшк 22:25, 16 July 2008 (EDT)

The build name is also spelled wrong. I'd move it, but now I don't know what to move it to. Shattering Exhaustion Ranger sounds good though. --Toraen 13:18, 26 July 2008 (EDT)
Done and done. --GoD Wario Sig*Wah Wah Wah!* 13:20, 26 July 2008 (EDT)
I renamed it once, but Rapta said Exhausting Assault (since Assault comes for SA aswell) was better. Frosty No U! 13:21, 26 July 2008 (EDT)
Eh, it still has "Exhausting" in there (and spelled correctly) and refers to the elite. It's not biggy though. --GoD Wario Sig*Wah Wah Wah!* 13:22, 26 July 2008 (EDT)
The old name mostly implied that only Exhausting Assault was in the build (and pretty much leaves out Shattering Assault.) Shattering Exhaustion Ranger is more descriptive. =P ــмıкεнaшк 13:24, 26 July 2008 (EDT)

But the skill is called Exhausting Assault, not Exhaustion Assault. The old name was better IMO (if you just spell it correctly this time). ¬H4xx Master Gladius #REDIRECT User:Master Gladius 13:28, 26 July 2008 (EDT)

Hey, it was as close I could get. Anyway, Skakid did it. --GoD Wario Sig*Wah Wah Wah!* 13:28, 26 July 2008 (EDT)
These verb-adjective names are distracting, misleading, confusing and pointless. If you have to stop and ask yourself, "What the screaming assfuck is a shattering exhaustion? Wait, it's R/A, that means it's probably not an Equinox trapper, and when I think about it there's assassin skills that have skills with names that sound like that, so it could be a dagger ranger." when Exhausting Assault made it understood that yes, it was a dagger ranger, it's a bad fucking name. --71.229 13:30, 26 July 2008 (EDT)
The name's better now, imo. Exhausting Assault only really pointed to using the skill with the same name, which doesn't say enough about the build. ــмıкεнaшк 13:32, 26 July 2008 (EDT)
It says it's a ranger using daggers. If someone's looking for a dagger ranger, they'll find it. If somebody's not looking for a dagger ranger, they won't find it. That's what a build name is supposed to do. --71.229 13:34, 26 July 2008 (EDT)
Enough QQ about a name now? Frosty No U! 13:35, 26 July 2008 (EDT)
Skakid's got this page scoped anyway, this is like the third time he's prevented something like this. Also, GUILD WAAAARRRS. --71.229 13:36, 26 July 2008 (EDT)

hmmm

Unarchive?

Should this be unarchived? It's definitely still viable with the Jagged -> Fox chain. Maybe something like this?

Leaping Mantis Sting Exhausting Assault Jagged Strike Fox Fangs Shattering Assault Dash Lightning Reflexes Resurrection Signet

New build if anything. Same reason as old and new Bunny Thumper. --/rant Jaiwritesalot . . . 14:24, September 18, 2009 (UTC)
Okay everyone, I'm seeing this being run in HA on teams with 1-3 R/A. Stripping prots and spiking? I think it needs to be unarchived.
