Guild Wars 2

Lately as I’ve been reading these threads here I’m starting to see what everyone is complaining about and I’m getting kinda upset:

Engineers- should be nerfed, it doesn’t make sense how one class can run around in circles and spam away explosion and conditions while I’m dancing the marked for death dance, and whatever damage I do they just heal back up. No room for error.

Warriors-Honestly they don’t die when I do a fairly strong burst. And when I use conditions, they just Shake it off or Cleansing Ire or heck the Healing Signet mitigates damage far too well, not to mention they can just run away from combat at will and even when on a thief I can barely catch up to them, also, endure pain and berserkers stance..nuff said here, why are these even a thing?

Mesmers- Like this is honestly one of the most passive power based fighting styles I’ve seen, and it’s unfair. They sit back while their phantasms and clones do all of the damage. Or they can sit in stealth and still dish out that huge amount damage, and not get revealed. And people complain about thieves? And while we are on that topic…

Thief-Far too much stealth, far too much evades. One thief has access to unlimited stealth and evades and blinks than anyone can keep track of. Even as a thief I hate these guys. At least they get revealed when they attack you, but what’s the point since by that time you are looking up at them while on the ground as they stomp you saying “GG” in say chat then proceeding to jump up and down and /sit on your defeated body

Necromancers- The conditions and rate at which these guys can apply them is absurd. Mostly in an aoe too! To boot, they can transfer conditions back at you. Okay then fight them up close, lolnope, they can actually take a hit. Honestly have defense against conditions or melee, but why both? This is very OP imo.

Elementalist- Weakness class yeah right, how certain specs have more burst potential than even the glassiest of thieves. And they heal up a significant amount of damage without even using their kitten heal skill first. And I swear they cheat, whenever they use Shocking Aura or whatever it lasts like four seconds yet when I tried it it lasted for like .5 seconds. And the mobility! the OP active defenses!

Guardian- Like, why does a heavy armor class have so much passive healing? Only put to shame by Warrior and even then, these guys are tough! Why do they have blinks!? Shouldn’t mesmers and thieves have blinks? And why do their blinks hurt?? OP nuff said OP, if I cant kill it in one opening burst it is OP

Rangers- These guys are fine

Not sure if troll or serious…

I think he’s recapping the sentiments he has read in various threads to point out how every class is complained about as imba.

Except Rangers. Even then, I feel like when I find someone in the open world, Rangers are more likely to be played by someone who doesn’t even seem like he/she is trying than any other class. Then you find one who DOES try and you say “Oh, the class can do that? Why is no one else doing this?”

But yeah. Pretty sure it isn’t a troll, more a… satire?

but hes talking about PvP in this thread and in PvP rangers dont seem to have the same amount of players complaining about them as the others do

Seems to me as though he is simply summing up what everyone says about other classes and making it seem like a joke (as if it isn’t already). So yes satire

RedSpectrum.1975 probably most of the thing you say are true, but consider this . . .

Is not probably the best to have this differences?

For example, i really really hate engis . . . waaaaaaaaaaaaay to OP.

But is cool because probably to another professions engis are not that hard due to the nature of their profession.

IMO the balance of this game is not that bad . . . most people just complain about everything because they want their profession to easily kill all.

@OP
I would say that’s an accurate general summary of spvp these days.
Can still be fun, but not to be taken seriously:D

RedSpectrum.1975:

Elementalist- Weakness class yeah right, how certain specs have more burst potential than even the glassiest of thieves. And they heal up a significant amount of damage without even using their kitten heal skill first. And I swear they cheat, whenever they use Shocking Aura or whatever it lasts like four seconds yet when I tried it it lasted for like .5 seconds. And the mobility! the OP active defenses!

Yes they have high burst potential, that is combined with the lowest health and lowest armor in the game and the fact the target doesnt die, that ele is pretty much on the defence until that burst comes off cool downs again. Just curious, which build of Ele can do 12k+ hits in ONE attack. I would love to see that build.

Healing is pretty much all the have when it comes to defence. The defensive cool downs they have are not only lacklustre (Arcane Shield for example) but also have insane cool downs.

As for the Cheating that is just stupid. You are wrong. You will find that Shocking Aura from Dagger/Dagger does in fact last 4 seconds. It can proc every 2 seconds. It is not even that great a skill

The mobility? Really you think the mobility is overpowered?
Scepter has NONE.
Focus has NONE
Staff has ONE

Dagger/Dagger has two and one of them goes of 40 second cool down A LOT. It is easily dodged. Goes on 40 second cool down if target has Aegis, invul and other things. So not that great. Now compare that to other classes such as the Warrior…

Think I’ve seen all those arguments listed in OP come by. If you ask me, this just means ranger needs a buff :P

Also Armageddon, you’re in the wrong thread.

This makes me picture a philosophical raptor meme asking: if all the classes are OP, is that balance?

HAHAHAHA good one.

Aah Rangers.. forever the foot-note at the end of the page

Let me guess: you play Ranger, read these forums, amplified others’ opinions by 200% (“too much stealth” “warriors don’t die” Necro: “the conditions (…) is absurd”, LOL) and then posed them here.
Good for you, now go play the game, and come back when you have more experience.

That needs to be stickied on top of this forum. Not the thread, or even the post it’s in. That picture needs to be stickied, always visible when looking at the topic list.

And to be fair, that’s usually how you consider your balance as a developer in a MMO. All class-forums and all balance-forums are constantly filled with complaints. But as long as you find complaints about ~everything, things are generally in order. It’s when you have elements which are never complained about, then you need to take a look.

“If you don’t get it, forget it.”

Lol. Was a funny read. Even funnier reading the posts that took this seriously and instantly set out to defend their profession or insult the OP. Good stuff.
