Guild Wars 2

Warriors are the fastest profession in the game. They can gap close or escape a fight in seconds. As a Ranger, you want to have range between you and your target. Therefore, I believe Signet Of The Hunt should be 30% speed increase instead of 25% allowing us to more easily keep range between ourselves and our targets. As is, a Thief or a Warrior can cross a pretty large gap a lot more quickly than we can. Forcing the majority of Rangers to not use bows at all, which is supposed to be one of the defining features of the profession.
On that topic, please buff bow damage. It doesn’t need to be significant, but it does need a bit of a push. DPSing your foe down with Long Range Shot is not particularly viable. You have to rely almost completely on Rapid Fire, using it every time it’s not on cooldown. Long Range Shot is still a good attack, it just doesn’t hit hard enough for it to be your primary attack skill with the bow.
Please remove the trait “Agility Training” and replace it with something more useful. Pets move at the same pace as their master whether they have swiftness or not. This trait is 100% pointless.
And lastly, again on the subject of keeping distance between yourself and your foe, it would be nice for Point Blank Shot to either a) have a shorter cooldown or b) keep the enemy on the ground for a longer duration. As is, it only allows a very temporary breath in combat before your enemy is back on top of you. It’s an extremely useful skill, but because of how quickly your enemy can recover from the knockback, it’s only a very minor setback for your opponent.

And this is just a personal request but; I would love to see Basilisk’s added as a Ranger pet with turning the enemy to stone as their special attack. Thieves have Basilisk venom I want the pet D;

Ive tried a lot to find out a build that focus on power dmg..
Its interesting that its not that there are bad builds for power dmg on Ranger imo..Its that thieves got ridiculous access to gap closers and escaping skills…

A mindless spamming 2 thief must be punished for this.Not getting rewarded by delivering to my Longbow Power Ranger a 5k..

Ive played against Guardians and it was totally fine, the Guardians got some gap closers that i managed to counterplay them and when i gained distance again he couldnt reach me till hes CD come up again, ive played against Necros and fine again, etc etc…

Almost every class exept Thieves.They spam 2, then steal, then signet, then 2 again….
