Burst rotation comparison ( Ranger vs X)
1 2
Ranger is still the easyest to beat class, just got one good skill what can be dodged because that have a 2 and a half second cast time. If you cant react on a that long skill pls never drive in real life. Normal human reaction time is 0.2 second what is 12x less as the cast time of RF. So if you are not brain dead you can react after the first and befor the second hit
How does that factor in with ping? Average ping would be .1 so by time it comes to your computer its probably at the .2 or .3 mark. Then your .2 reaction. So by time you dodge you find yourself copping a great deal of it. If you are an overseas customer you are catching most of it before you can do anything. So the skill in its current form is not ‘fair’ and needs some sort of cast time.
Its not a trading card game. If you play ANY game where players kill players you need good reaction and low ping. In gw1 as an interrupt ranger/mesmer you could interrupt a 3/4 cast time skill with a 1/2 cast time interrupt while doing 3 more things. 2 and a half seconds just lol. If you couldnt interrupt something with 1 second you was a bad player and mostly got kick if you missed something with 2 seconds

If you dont have any port/jump skills you deserve it. But in that case a rifle warrior/nade engi/ any range attack kill you. It should be a stone/paper/scissor. I cant beat condi/range/melee with the same build and not everybody can build against me.
Gw1 was hex/condi/range/melee builds. Gw2 is much easyer. Physical melee and condi. Now the melee joined the game (but its still weak) and some people dont like it because they need to adapt :/
(And new rangers are an excelent counter of the sfr melee monoblob)necro has no defence against this…
after the first burst what are we to do 7 seconds later? reflect will still be on cd easily dodges have not returned yet the ranger has his burst back, lets not forget the increased dps doesn’t just help power builds but now they can build for sustain and still dish out enough dps to comfortably kill you
You initiate spectral walk. move away from the ranger, so that he follows you. If he doesn’t follow you, problem solved. If he does, use spectral recall, and port behind him. The same works for flesh wurm and necrotic traversals. As necros we have both an essential self portal and a high mobility tether. Learn to use them. It is some of the besr in combat mobility in the game.
Necros can facetank rapid fire
not if we cant reach you to build said death shroud. i said it before i used a ranger after the update and have never killed necros so easily, they are one of the easier professions to kill but with a ranger it was ridiculous..
Rangers don’t kill necros, bad necros kill necros.
guess I have not met a ranger stupid enough to follow me then =\ kind of obvious what you are doing with a big green trail following you or maybe they learnt from their mistakes and don’t fall for it again.
if im a bad necro then the necros I kill must just give up on life =s I rarely die to the terror “spam” you see some people complain about. power vs power I usually win but then again I don’t run the standard 6 x x x 6 build
Most people are not able to react. It is just crazy how little skill this is taking. Find someone fighting. Blast dude with #4 he is kd’d then unleash #2 before he can get up. Bam most people are half dead at this point. And wow if he is a good dodger my spider will snare him for some more rf fun 8 sec later.
Just for the sake of accuracy, LB4 is not a KD. I have seen it a lot those past few days. KBS is a Knock Back (KB). You might not see the difference (probably because you don’t even know what you’re talking about), so i will explain it. KBS push the opponent and disables him for a short duration, more or less 0.75 seconds. When you take into account the aftercast, it is more or less 0.5 seconds where rapid fire will always hit (which represents 30% the damage of the full rapid fire). So, no, you can’t unleash all the rapid fire after KBS.
I will take an example. If a guardian pulls his opponent with GS5, and chain it with GS2. Will the full GS2 hit? No (barely). Keep in mind that rapid fire lasts 3x the duration of whirling wrath.
I know you want to complain, but please, if you complain, do it right, and not with facts that you created yourself. Even if i’m saying it, i also think KBS needs a telegraph and maybe a 20 seconds recast, but it’s not that bad to the point where you can unleash the full RF after KBS.

If they do not follow you, then problem solved, your our of their range. They follow me, more often then not.

I wouldn’t know how anyone dies to terror spam at all, personally. I find it extremely easy to deal with. So I am with ya there. I honestly do not know why you even mention it. It has nothing to do with the topic.
