Re: GW2: Ranger thread said by I AM:What have you guys found other than a bear to be a good tank?
Boars work pretty well... better than most but still not as good as a bear.
My Forest Spider works well with rangers opting for bows. It tends to keep the mobs at a distance by rooting them in place with webbing and then dotting them up with a poison. The pair make for an interesting combination when swapped in and out. |

With my 2nd pets is the Forest Spider.
Anyone know if there is a healing type pet? |

Moas have a group heal skill, though it's not the F2 skill so you can't control it. Fern Hound's special ability gives regeneration.

I think ranger will be my alt of the day tonight! XD Last night the new thief got to level 9 or something... |

| I'm loving my ranger. I'm finding for some reason I can take a little more damage than my thief. Killed some brood mother dynamic event last night along with a veteran bandit and a bunch of other bandits that kept spawning all at once. ALmost died a few times but traps, rolling, healing and pew pew pew won in the end. Great fun. |
|
| So I saw in the general thread you are using short/long bows and traps. Which traps and which traits are you using?
Edit: I have a charr ranger but I think I'll remake him into a female human. Cuter and no molass slow running animation... |

kudos:4 | Just the fire one and spike ones. My other skill is the dodge one So I pretty much have 3 dodges going into a fight. I forgot to the elite skill name but it's the one that makes you glow all red. You get like crit, power, and speed buffs from it. |

The Fern Hound heal is the [F2] ability, so is usable whenever you want (assuming not on cooldown). I haven't used a Moa enough to know how they use the heal from experience, but I read somewhere that they cast the heal only when they're hurt.
