I made this build up a little while ago and wanted to know what you guys though.

It's a r/w sword build that focuses on support.


1. Hundred blades - Adrenaline gain + condition spread
2. Fear me - Those w/n can't plague touch you when they're out of energy.
3. Apply poison - poison your target for nice degen
4. Hamstring - whack the monks who love to kite
5. Sever artery - more degen
6. Flurry - higher adren gain
7. Any kind of stance
8. Rez.

Of course you could substitute gash out for healing but usually I play in ta where theirs almost always a monk. And I usually get flurry in the mix for even higher adrenaline gain but you can change it around how you see fit.

Of course you're using a zealous sword hilt. To hit the warriors with constant -1 energy degen + spamming fear me. You can really spread the poison around with hundred blades.

Remember this is a support class. Not a tanker.

Why not Shields up or watch yourself if you are supporting and have a War seconday and you already have points in Tactics

If your going to copy a build do it right. The any stance part is healing sig, been running this for for awhile now so its no suprise someones posting it as their own.

I also love how u failed to list the atribute points with discredits it being your build. I usaly do

swords 11
tactics 9
expetise 10(8+1+1)
WS 9(8+1)

Been playing a bitwith the poisnt sometimes lowering sword for expertise and ws but its generaly around that.

Oh and about shields up and watch your self, I find shields up works alright though watch yourself takes away adrenilian from the fear me spam.

In her defense, just because someone's already done it before doesnt mean she copied it.

But yeah, Watch Yourself and Sheilds Up should be added in there. In Factions there's going to be even more support skills in the Tactics line.

you're missing a self heal. you won't be able to survive if you aren't at least someone self-sufficient. in RA, anyway.

Somebody posting the Exact same build I use within 2 days of me starting to use it in ra and ta, is a little to how do you say unlikely that they came up with it all on their own.

in her defense, a lot of builds are based off of what a person has seen in his/her past experiences.

Well I'm sorry if you've used this in the past.

It's not my fault. How many thousands of players are there in Guild Wars.

How the hell am I supposed to know that this exact build has been done before.

Also. I didn't include a heal sig because I play this build with my guildies in TA.

Team arenas is a lot different than random arenas. Support roles are more valued. Also the build has two amazing monks so it really isn't neccesary imo to bring healing.

However. If this build was in random arenas. I would definetly bring healing.

As for the attributes. I assume you have been playing for some time. Make up your own attributes. Do you need to follow from mine exactly? Expand on it and experiment ffs. Stop complaining about the little things.

Stop complaining about the little things. Regardless if their are monks or not being able to heal if their getting ganked is important and sorry for being a little suspicsios of a build I made being posted within days of using in both the 4 man arenas. Everything down to the zealos is what i've been runing as for healing sig spot you can sub it out though I don't put all my faith in monks.

Watch Yourself would work well in this build.

So now you claim that you created this build and that she somehow stole it from you by somehow seeing you use it in RA and TA? Sorry...but neither one of you created this build, variations of it have been around for a while.

It's sort of funny how you're ragging on her for "stealing" and claiming it as her own when you're doing the same thing claiming this as your original. At this point, pretty much any build has been done before. So let's stop this crap about who is stealing what build Mmmkay?

I can't believe you are arguing over who created this build. It just isn't very good.

For a "support" class, there seems to be very little support. "Watch Yourself" is a must-have imho (When I play my CG build, I use flurry+WY and it's quite effective), and "Shields Up!" is a great consideration. If you're not a tanker, you need to drop all these standard tanking skills. You're either in the rear with the gear, grabbing up adrenaline with a bow+flurry+quickshot(or etc.), dropping shouts for casters and spreading poison, or you're up front bashing away with no strength attribute, and a low AL.

If you insist on being up front, then the only skill you're using that's actually ranger is Apply Poison, and while the expertise bonus is nice, there's not really any dire need for it. I guess you could play this as a R/W, but if I did, I'd hope I get a nickel for each death, because your /deaths count is going to fly without that armor bonus.

Desires shut up, all you're doing is degenerating this topic into a bitchy argument over who made the build, no one cares if you think you're cool by claiming the build was stolen from you

Lorwina, try something like this if you're going for support, and remember, mostly support:
12 or 10 swordsmanship
10 or 12 tactics
12 expertise (+4)

Hamstring
Savage Slash
Shields Up
Watch Yourself
Charge {E}
Bull's Strike
Desperation Blow/Pure Strike/Seeking Blade
Rez Sig

This build hardly has any damage, but helps your casters and everyone else kite away, survive a spike, and you blunting the warrior offensive

i donnow..... something smells funny about a ranger with all warior skills... if you goin there just go stance tank primary, more efficient for shouts and support, meanwhile a rangers job is to poison, cripple, make bleed, trap and annoy opposing team!

I know, r/w just isn't that good for support, but what I posted above is what I guess could be the best "support" you could give your softies as a r/w with a sword x_x
