Weapon and Skill Details
* The main job you have to do is to apply Might, Fury, Swiftness, Protection, Regeneration to your pet.
* Why choose Precise/Vitality/Healing Power ?
In order to apply Might, you need high critical chance, so you need Precise
In order to let Regeneration more effective, you need Healing Power
Therefore I choose full set of Precise, Vitality, Healing Power where you can easily get with AC dungeon coin.
* Why do I choose Axe/Axe, Axe/Warhorn ?
Because the high Hit-Count of those combination.
Axe 1 bounce 3 target
Axe 2 hit up to 5 hit, even there's only one opponent, you can stand close to do 5-hit.
Axe 3 is amazing, since it let your pet inflict Weakness on next attack, the Weakness duration is 10 second, which is just the same as skill cooldown time - therefore, you can inflict permanent Weakness on a single target.
Axe 4 is a nice skill, that can do a straight line AOE, as well as AOE interrupt while the axe fly back to you and pull mobs to you.
Axe 5 is very useful, it does very high hit-count (12x) AOE, as well as 'Reflect' projectile. (the skill shows 'Block' but it will Reflect btw.)
Warhorn 4 deal very high hit-count (16x) single target.
Warhorn 5 give you/your group/ your pet with high support Boons, the detail will explain later.
* The healing skill can select from Troll Ungent / Healing Spring
* The utility slot, "Guard" and "Signet of Wild" is a MUST.
* Whatever elite skill all good, but I prefer Rampage As One for powerful Boons.
All detail explain later.

Nature Magic
Beastmastery
Trait Details
As you can see, the trait all go for your pet.
Before we start, let me explain some trait detail.
"Fortifying Bond" share your boon with your pet. However, the duration time is not 'share' . In fact, the duration of any boon you get and share with your pet is different and constant :
(Although the duration time is constant, but it can be effect by Boon Duration and "Nature's Bounty" trait)
(Since you got 30point on Nature Magic, which provide 30% boon duration, the time will expand to following list)
(with "Nature's Bounty" trait, the Regeneration Boon expand 63% more time)
Aegis 5 -> 6.5 seconds
Fury 3 -> 3.9seconds
Might 10-> 13 seconds
Protection 2 -> 2.6 seconds
Regeneration 5 -> 8.15 seconds (this boon expand 63% more time)
Retaliation 5 -> 6.5 seconds
Swiftness 3 -> 3.9seconds
Vigor 3 seconds
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Nature's Voice is key trait for this Build, it provide 13 second Swiftness and 16 second Regeneration to you/your group if you use a shout (for example , "Guard")
With "Shout Mastery" , your "Guard" cooldown time reduce to 12 second,
therefore you can give permanent Regeneration/Swiftness to your group, as long as you recast "Guard" once it's ready.
I will explain more detail mathematical calculation later!!

Stat and Effect Details
As you can see, with Precise/Vitality/Healing Power
* Critical Chance for you
- Normally you got 1808 Precise which is 46.95% critical chance.
- With a lv60 Maintenance Oil, your Precise upgrade to 1919 (52.23% critical chance)
(I list lv60 Oil because the lv80 is too expensive, and I prefer to eat lv60 only)
(If you eat lv80's , you can gain about more 1.4% critical chance)
- With Superior Sigil of Perception 25 stack, you got 2169 Precise(64% critical chance)
- With Fury boon, you become 84% critical chance.
* Critical Chance for your pet
- The basic Precise for Lynx on lv80 is 2061, and since you put 20 point on Beastmaster, her Precise upgrade to 2261 which is 68% critical chance
- With Fury boon, your pet got 88% critical chance.
====================================================================
* Passive Regen HP
- There are 2 kind of passive HP regen - Siginet of Wild and Regeneration (YES, because you can apply this boon permanent, so it become passive HP regen)
- Signet of Wild
o it apply (62 + 0.06 x 1173) = 113 hp/s for yourself
o it apply (125 + 0.25 x 1173) = 418 hp/s for your pet
- Regeneration boon
o you apply this boon permanent to you/your pet/ your group.
o it heals (130 + 0.125 x 1173) = 277 hp/s
As a result, you apply passive HP regen :
- your group for 277 HP/s
- yourself for 410 HP/s
- your pet for 695 HP/s
===============================================================================
* Healing Skill selection
In fact, Troll Unguent and Healing Spring work all good.
- The Troll Unguent is good for that it's healing over time, so you can cast it, and have a stable fight, once the effect is gone, you only have to wait 15s more cooldown time to cast it again. The heal amount is 997 x 10 = 9970 HP total.
- Healing Spring is good for group fight, especially for stack fight. The initial heal is (4920 + 1.0 x 1173) = 6093 HP. It heals only you and your pet - your pet don't have to in the range, you just cast it, and it heal you and your pet. After that, it start to apply Regeneration to someone who stay in circle.(However, since you already got permanent Regeneration boon on them all, it become useless, since it won't heal more).
The good for Healing Spring is condition removal, it pulse every 3 sec to remove a condition. But the drawback is the cooldown time for a 30sec which is a bit long. Since it's most like instant heal, you cast it on a huge hp lose, and have to wait 30s more time to cast again.
If you got your Warhorn 5 skill available while cast Healing Spring. Since Healing Spring is Water field, you can cast Warhorn 5 later for a Blast combo finisher to do a Area Healing combo. It heals about 1700 HP AOE healing.
Most time I prefer Troll Ungent, because the 'regen' is different from 'Regeneration' boon, they can stack together to heal.
that is , with Troll Ungent,
- you got 1407 HP/s HP regen for 10 sec
- your pet got 1692 HP/s HP regen for 10 sec
- and only have to wait 15 sec to cast it again.

Superior Sigil of PerceptionGain +10 Precision each time you kill a foe. (Max 25 stacks; ends on down.)
Upgrade Item Details
As I mention before, the damage comes from your pet. so you have to apply Might to your pet as more as possible.
I use Superior sigil of Battle on Main hand Axe. and the Off-hand Axe for Superior sigil of Strength that to gain Might on yourself to share with your pet. (Since you got high critical chance, it's easy to trigger it)
I prepare 2 Warhorn, one for Superior Sigil of Perception, one for Superior Sigil of Strength as well, once you got 25 stack of precise, swap the Warhorn to Strength's.
You only have to prepare 2 Axe, and put only 1 Warhorn on off-hand at the other set.
then you can swap from Axe/Axe and Axe/Warhorn, which can trigger Superior Sigil of Battle on both set between your swapping.
====================================================
* I choose Solider Rune, because I put 2 shout on my utility, it provide AOE condition removal to help your group survive.
- and the cooldown time for "Guard" is really short for 12 sec only
- most time I put "Protect Me" for break stun and survive (it's 48sec cooldown), you can swap it to "Sic 'Em' for more dps and more condition removal (32 sec cooldown)
* My another set pet is Brown Bear, if you really got heavy condition and eager to remove it, swap your pet to brown bear and cast F2 (Shake It Off) to do another AOE condition removal for 25sec cooldown time.
- Most of the time, my Lynx can tank almost everything without swap to bear - even Champion opponent. Let me easy to solo Champion opponent.

Main Skill Rotation
* There's no special skill rotation. Just watch your skill cooldown.
- Recast "Guard" again if it's available.
- Swap Weapon to gain Boon once it's available.
- Cast Axe 3 once it's available to Weakness your opponent.
- Cast Warhorn 5 to gain Boons onec it's ready.
- Cast Warhorn 4 on a boss/stronger opponent to gain Boons
- Cast Axe 5 on a melee range to apply huge Might to your pet
- Cast Axe 4 to apply Might too, as well as skill interrupt for your opponent since it pull them to you, it will interrupt the action they are doing.
* If you are in fight, once you cast "Guard", press F1 immediately to order your pet to attack your target.
* If you are not in fight, and are running . cast "Guard" to gain Swiftness and press F3 to order your pet to follow you.
- Or you can just ignore her, she will repop on your side if you are too far away, but sometimes if you fall into fight, she will have to run a far distance to come to you to help. So I prefer press F3 immediately to order her follow me after cast "Guard"
* At the Nature Magic master slot train, I pick "Evasive Purity" mainly for remove Poison - since this condition last quite long, and reduce huge healing effect. I can remove this with a simple dodge. The Blind condition is easily "remove" by a normal attack.
- you can swap this trait to "Vigorous Spirits" for a Spirit support , and swap "Protect Me" to a spirit for group support if you think it's better for a certain fight.
* If your pet is already far enough to survive. On Skirmishing master trait, you can swap "Carnivorous Appetite" to "Pet's Prowess" for more dps.
Ranger is a very nice class, hope everyone of you will like my build
