Guild Wars 2

Ranger isn’t that overpowered tbh, the real problem is the sheer number of baddies jumping on the bandwagon of 2 skill gameplay.

Yet I can kill those people on my ranger in 4 skills…

Exactly, I actually play that “build” because I’m lazy to change my build everytime I enter WvW (templates, anyone?), and I often get pwned hard by ppl with roaming abilities, and that’s totally ok. I accept that as a result of me choosing wrong build/not being able to counter these players with my build.
However, I still can’t do the same what I was able with my Elementalist before the patch, you know, meteornado, insane might stacking on my own etc…
So how can this possibly be OP? If ppl can’t strafe when a ranger wastes his RF on the maximal range or just dodge/reflect it when closer, it’s not the OP ranger who causes their death, it’s their own inability…
For example, Thief is able to do much stronger burst damage, even from the 1500 range if traited for it. Zerk Ele can do bigger damage faster and also with a crapload of CC applied…
Ppl just should realize, that Ranger (yeah, it’s named after the word “range”, see?) had it’s signature weapon severely underpowered since the launch, and this patch just corrected this.
Roaming build is still much more dangerous than RF Ranger btw….

We could solve all the problems with every class and make them all warriors with 3 skills. Stab, slash and block. No runes, sigils or amulets and no armor and everyone has 1000hp. Im sure someone would complain that player X slashes fater than player Y and it needs to be nerfed.

Ranger lb damage is not op but its to much reward for very little effort. It the same with turret engi in competitive play they are not op but it can carry a bad player hard. Good players should aviod these specs because the skill ceiling is low. Though bads main them coz it allow them to not be useless.

More like high reward for high risk. 1 reflect, interrupt, block, etc, and you’ve rendered the move entirely useless. Especially on the reflect. Unless you are on the dodge button the second you see it come back at you, you’re going to be downed by your own move. Thus high risk. The move is fine…the sheer number of people who need to learn how to counter the move is not fine (meaning l2p).

LB Ranger still ain’t the way to go. Won every fight against LB Rangers with my Ranger SB/Sword & Dagger in the last 3 days. Good thing was that I couldn’t roflstomp them anymore.
I also played LB/GS Ranger and won less than I lost. If I get a decent opponent I lose almost every fight. I really wonder where you find those super LB Rangers.
I will try to improve my LB game play cause I like going full offense no defense (gank builds) but I don’t believe it will ever be as good like the other Ranger builds.

I’m wondering where all the good lb rangers are too. I’m willing to bet the whiners got bursted down by ranger when they werent paying attention and are now calling for nerfs. Peoples logic nowadays XD. But really if your about to fight lb ranger all u hav to know is los, dodging, cc, positioning, and reflects(if u carry them).
