Ranger WvW Crippler build

This is a personal build that should fit our game style in wvw. I tested it in spvp and it worked quite good. It focuses on crippling the enemy to force them to suffer all the aoe dps of our team. It has a good aoe dmg too, and some strong team related utilities.

I recommend Moas, due to F2 skills that buff the whole team with Fury/Might


Before engaging the enemy you buff the team with pet skill F2. Then, with the longbow, use Quickening Zephyr and Barrage on the enemies. Quickening Zephyr should let you cast Barrage in 2 secs. Then you run to you enemies and use Entangle to block them. Switch to axe+horn, use Call of the Wild to buff the team and then start hitting with skill 1 (some pretty bouncing aoe). If they are still alive and trying to flee (or your Entangle was on cooldown) it’s time to use Muddy Terrain to cripple them again. Hit again with axe, then switch to Longbow to freeze and finish off the downed with Rapid Fire.
