Archive talk:Team - GvG Ranger Condition Pressure

Since ive seen a few more scythe rangers in GvG, it gave me the idea for this. So bash away. Zuko 12:53, 15 May 2008 (EDT)

Use the normal Pious+Escape scythers imo. ¬ Klumpeet 13:11, 15 May 2008 (EDT)

Was thinking of it, but decided on the Wounding Striker rangers. They can be easily changed. Depends what others think. Ill change it to Escape scythe if they think it should change to it. Zuko 13:20, 15 May 2008 (EDT)

Definitely change them. Godbox 13:30, 15 May 2008 (EDT)

Id run theese tbh, its a condi pressure build and wounding strike gives alot of condis, it will easely overwhelm RC, and you dont need escape here, just use natural stride, its more then enough, and in worst cases u have lightning reflexes if you feel smashed to the death.

Overwhelm RC? It fuels the RC. In my experience Smoke Trappers are not very good in GvG. No choke points in GvG really. This build doesn't do much in Overwhelming the RC as it does fueling it. Any team with Draw would beat this pretty easily. Even if Daze gets applied, it just gets drawn off and RC'd. This build could work but you need some manly Magebane Rangers. This is one of those builds that will only work until you get to a certain rank at which time every team you play will be good enough to beat it. Meaning that this is only for guilds that don't plan on staying at a good rank for a long time. Basically the same issue as Thumper GvG builds.→ You've been pwned.

Well if i replaced the smoke trap, id like another ranger to replace it to keep it with the name. I put smoke trap due to the fact it is the most defensive played out of the majority of ranger builds about. It provides a nice play for monks to sit ayway, and dust trap can keep warriors blinded for more then enough time for the monks, even if it does get drawn of repeatedly.

Also should i add the escape scythe as variant to thw wounding strike? since i think the wounding strike works better 4 the situation. Zuko 16:05, 15 May 2008 (EDT)

Traps just don't work in gvg because good teams just wand them. In HA thats harder to do because of more walls, but gvg is wide open. Traps are usually bad in gvg unless you play against a team that doesn't know how to beat them. TBH i don't like this build because it promotes the same thing that sway promotes. Basically what i mean is that you really won't get good playing this build but you might rise in the ranks.→ You've been pwned. Extreme( Ftl.)( Noobs.) 16:08, 15 May 2008 (EDT)

Traps do work just on certain guild halls. Isle of the dead works fine with traps, the narrow passages at each base advertise traps. More open guild halls like Imperial i agree yes arent so good, but a trapper still comes in handy, and you can always ask for a block from your monk, aswell as having natural stride and lightning reflexes in the skill bar for blocking aswell.

This was a random idea i came up with earlier, but if it works, it works, and trappers work for this build. Zuko 16:18, 15 May 2008 (EDT)

This does work and i have no doubt on that statement, the problem is, is that it's good for a few laughs when you are at high ranks but any good team will roll you. Good teams wand the Trappers and lets face it, you don't have anything except frontliner damage, b-surge or icy snare will destroy you. Nothing really going for it at VoD. It will work until you get to about rank 950, lol.→ You've been pwned. Extreme( Ftl.)( Noobs.) 16:33, 15 May 2008 (EDT)

I get it you want to make a team with almost all rangers, but this just sucks. Oh boy 4 apply poisons how will we ever survive so much pressure. Seriously you have no kds, a trapper (lame), and no shutdown or midline spike support. If you really wana run rangerway try iono playing rangerspike or byob. Even those 2 teams will have less rangers tho heh.I Heal If U Shutup 18:22, 15 May 2008 (EDT)

This build isn't THAT bad, and midline shutdown comes in the form of magebane, not really shutdown but its some interrupt.→ You've been pwned. Extreme( Ftl.)( Noobs.) 22:15, 15 May 2008 (EDT)
