Melee Beastmaster Build

Profession: Ranger/Warrior

Name: Melee Beastmaster

Type: CA/TA

Category: Sustained Damage

Attributes:
Axe - 12
Beast Mastery - 8 + 1 + 3
Expertise - 8 + 1
Wilderness Survival - 7 + 1


Skills:
Tigers Fury
Call of Haste
Evicerate
Executioners Strike
Distrupting lunge/other quick recharge pet attack
Charm Animal
Troll Unguent/free slot if in TA
Ressurection Signet

Equipment:
Zealous Axe 15%-Stance
Stance Shield -2 damage(stance) +45hp(Stance)

Summary: I like to start the match with a bow equiped for deception. The Ranger is one of the last to be targeted normally so choose a target preferabaly a Caster and work yourself close to them. When ready to strike switch weapons and engage using Call of Haste and Tigers fury immediatly.
With the good Expertise stat and Zealous mod energy will not be an issue and will enable you to constantly fuel TF, CoH and Pet Attack.

If you are entering TA with good healers then drop Troll Unguent for another pet attack or maybe Apply Poison. If another pet attack then you can distribute the Wilderness survival points.


Cons:
Not as much armour as a Warrior versus physical damage.
Attack Speed debuffs are a pain.
No strengh attribute for Armour penetration.
If Pet is killed then becomes less effective.
No Snare.

Pros:

Can cause high amount of constant damage + spike.
Effective monk/caster killer.
Can even take on warriors at their own game 1v1.
Anti Melee measures such as Blindness/pacify only partialy shut down the build.
Good Interrupting when spamming Disrupting Lunge.
Even though ranger has no snare or speed buff, your pet can hunt runners using Call of Haste.

Very Similar to my R/W
I use

Wild blow
Irresistable Blow
Disrupting Lunge

Lightning reflexes
Escape
Troll Ungent
Charm Animal
Res Signet

Basiclly I spam the 3 attack skills continuously.
I then use the other skills as needed.

The Escape & Wild Blow combination sorts out any stance anyone uses for defense and running.

Hmm I like the Wild Blow suggestion but I would have to compromise on damage to fit this in to my build. It could be worth it on occasion.

The wild blow would not be good in your build since you would lose all adrenaline when you use it.

Seems pretty solid build, however, if Troll Unguent interupted or no healing supply, you can't exactly defend yourself.

after like 4-5 months of using BMs, this is my opinion to be the best
pet is dire and hammer is stone crusher
