Crystal Paladin.3871 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 So guys, I was thinking, is there a way to achieve max dmg with crit dmg alone... like one hit KO with ranger as Deadeyes seem to be doing a lot of one hit KOs, we need to retaliate in kindThis is what i came up with recently but couldn't complete it due to lack of open ideas:daredevil rune + greatsword + shortbow + valkyrie + beastmastery(two hand training) + skirmishing(vicious quarry) + soulbeast(merge smokescale) + Signet of the Wild + Plate of Roasted Cactusexplanation:daredevil rune -> guaranteed crit after dodge roll so we can just plainly ignore fury and precision and crit chance stats altogether and make it simple and focus on all othersgreatsword -> high dmg output two handed weapon per hit... coz guaranteed crit applies for only one hit after dodge rollnow we got crit chance, we can focus on crit dmg output ie ferocityvalkyrie -> max ferocity(with added power and vitality)beastmastery(two hand training) -> greatsword attack increase + pack alpha 80 attribute points + grants fury(which will trigger granting ferocity bcoz of skirmishing(vicious quarry)) and less CDskirmishing(vicious quarry) -> gives ferocity when gaining fury + Furious Grip gives fury which inturn gives ferocity when swapping from shortbow to greatsword(and some other complicated conditions like less health)Soulbeast -> Furious Strength gives fury and indirectly we get ferocity + moa stance(fury so indirect ferocity) + griffon stance(since we need to dodge roll we need endurance bar to be filled up and ready to kill 5 players in 10 secs ;) ) + merge with ferocious petsignet of wild -> 180 ferocityPlate of Roasted Cactus -> 100 ferocitycombat : apply vulnerability with shortbow concussion shot and optionally with maul then dodge and use greatsword's powerful attackhope this gives a powerful and tough build... but this all depends on griffon stance and daredevil rune...will this work like a one hit KO thingy? suggestions pleaseand if anyone already has a similar build plz share... I'll be sure to take points... If it really turns out to be a cannon build, hope anet doesn't nerf ranger once again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koen.1327 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 dagger/warhorn for mass stealth would be necessary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crystal Paladin.3871 Posted July 12, 2018 Author Share Posted July 12, 2018 or if possible put Sigil of Intelligence on greatsword and remove rune of daredevil and griffon stance and rebuild the build altogether?idk... too many options... need to compare numbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rng.1024 Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 First, let me say I love your optimism! :) But after theorycrafting countless hours on maximizing my thief's one shot capabilities I have come to realise it has about the same benefit to your gameplay as it is to practice your meta rotations on the golem.Because all it takes is 1 block, 1 miss, 1 out of range, 1 weakness, 1 evade, 1 cc, 1 blind, 1 immobilize and 1 invulnerable by your opponent to leave you at a massive disadvantage. You won't be able to pressure at all since you never crit and all your ferocity = useless. If you somehow manage to survive between your crits, with all the defensive boons, regen and tanky gear you still really can't count on taking anyone down with one hit either, except if they are glass. Best of luck though, hope you get some epic kills with it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadCrowned.6834 Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Its always fun to theorycraft but this build won't work. No condi cleanse, limited stealth, limited stunbreaks. Maul is highly telegraphed so it misses quite often. And shortbow? Ugh. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz.4650 Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 I only use WI for stealth in desperate situations or to prevent a stomp. When I first tried using WI + Swoop at the beginning of matches to stealth burst, most of the time WI wasn't up again in time for the burst.Your build won't work against real people in most skill brackets. As soon as people realize you die really fast, you'll get focused. You mentioned food though so I guess this is for WvW so go nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
