Guild Wars 2

Warriors were already too strong by half. I hit a warrior tonight with three full shatters, multiple interrupts and a moa and blasted the heck out of him in between with everything I had…..he still easily killed me.

Now rangers are easily interrupting most skills and killing before I can get into attack range, if that is that I can get past their multiple pets.

This patch is totally in the wrong direction.

the patch hasn’t even dropped yet , it won’t be out till september or october.
yes take note when fighting rangers , i have seen a few dual bow rangers with oquickdraw , some vidoes too.
best use Terrain to avoid damage rather than trying to dodge and use a gap closer to get behind them (this also makes the pet loose its combat postion)
it’ll have to run to you again and there won’t be anything blocking your path.

vs warroirs don’t worry they are currently slightly stronger than they should be , and condis work best , if your the power shatter type it won’t do much thanks to the armour and full Adrenaline health, you’ll need condis and lots of kiting to slowly bring a warroir down.

Not only is this a single encounter of yours of which we have to take your word for it having happened exactly as you described with which you’re describing as the deciding factor to determine whether or not warriors are overpowered… but as the poster above said the balance patch hasn’t even happened yet!

What are you on about, OP?

Considering the mesmer class is basically the warriors bane, I find it hard to believe the issue was the warrior being “OP”, and more so that he outplayed you.

wait the mesmer balance patch before you say things like this

funny, because that very same night i ANNIHILATED a hambow warrior multiple times on my phantasm mesmer

i agree that hambow is too good for how easy it is to play,
but as a mesmer you should be kicking their butt!

i hate people who type “L2P” so i’ll just think it instead.

rangers have 2 interrupts on ranged weapons, one on shortbow with 900 range and one on longbow which is a knockback with 1200 range. this is without pets.

a shortbow can’t even hit you if the ranger is out of reach for you assuming you are using greatsword or staff.. as for longbow, that’s a single knockback. as a mesmer you should have enough possibilites to close a gap.. blink, stealth, distort.

if a ranger runs longbow he usually doesn’t bring those “multiple” pets. and if he does, moa him and all his pets will instantly die.

sorry but ranger is the worst class in pvp right now and far from op…

There hasn’t been a skill balance patch yet. It’s in your mind. The patch was for the Living story, warriors have not gotten any stronger.

I have met mesmers that have put out too little DPS in the wrong rotation to drain my HP, and also mesmers that walked over to my HP pool, picked it up off of my HUD, and threw the whole thing in the trash.

Probably shouldn’t be shattering a warrior. Stealth and deception until he’s frustrated. DPS when he’s moa. Clones out as long as possible, shatter for escape distraction.

They have a whole armor class tier that is higher than yours, but they shouldnt be able to see you for half the time, and when you’re not stealthed, there should be clones and you should not be dodging ( should be “playing AI.”).

A good mesmer makes me pull my hair out. A mesmer that walks around with a “target me” sign is going to get lots of bleed stacks.

Most rangers running lb will have 1500 range. Also rapid fire will track a mesmer through stealth. Rangers aren’t as bad as most players think https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8kzqpN3Wug&list=UUlWCnHmG_-W4bTeRKxC-jYA .

Sidestepping is hard, though. My hands can’t press more than 1 key at a time, anet halp. /sarcasm

A warrior’s bane? Mesmer? Now I know you’re simply trolling to support warriors. You have 0 credibility.

As to Mesmer balance patch.. ANET has done nothing but break things and stealth nerf for months. The best Mesmer can hope for is not to be crippled too much more.

This is ridiculous, people are SO eager to QQ about Rangers because we got some decent buffs which we needed since day 1 that they’re calling them OP and making things up even before the patch has passed!

I wish everyone would just shut the hell up QQing unless it’s for genuinely broken things like mesmer skills, ranger general terribleness or how OP facerolly warriors are.

I main a Mesmer, now I can rant about everything I want with the approval stamp of Bryzy!

iLeap sucks, Warden is mentally challenged. Phantasms don’t like to attack when spawned if spawned on certain terrain types. Phantasms don’t like to attack for other weird reasons. Illusions sometimes forget how to shatter and wait patiently for their death before the automatic shatter kicks in and they shatter uselessly (or, in Distortion’s case, too little, too late)… I can keep going.

thanks for the info but surprisingly i play a lb/gs ranger in soloQ and usually i’m snowballing between 100-300 on the leaderboards

as i was talking about knockbacks in my post, your statement is wrong, point blank shot is 900 range and 1200 traited. indeed, rapid fire will track a mesmer but he can distort or use blurred frenzy, if the mesmer runs a sword build, to avoid it. of course this isn’t always possible and shouldn’t be either.

what im saying is: as a ranger you can’t kite mesmers as good as for example a guardian a necro or a warrior.

rangers are even more positioning reliant as mesmers because the class has no teleports, so no quick escape via blink.

another thing is: the mesmer class mechanic counters longbow builds. the longbow is except for barrage a single target weapon and this is bad especially against phantasm mesmers.

September ninth on the patch actually.

If you’re running either greatsword or staff it’s incredibly easy to kite a warrior, you just have to be smart with your positioning.

Everything’s OP, you’re OP, I’m OP, that guy’s OP. Everything and everybody is OP. Everyone needs a nerf. NERF NERF OP OP! HARUMPH!

The warrior trolls keep trying to take it off point. Warriors are far too favored. Rangers can easily wreck me before I can get into attack range if their multiple pets don’t get me first.. gods I wish Illusions worked that well.

Please stop trolling people..

They actually think you are serious.

8/10 troll though
I do enjoy reading peoples “WTHL2P” when it’s clearly a topic made to troll some forums warriors

Learn 2 play, no play a real class that can actually be beaten on a level playing field. Wars are disgustingly overpowered, the fastest players on the field and have superior heal. anet might as well just give them a “win” button. Besides that, every class that can beat them gets nerfed.

oh my, OP actually came back to the thread after everyone pointed out that all the “buffs” he’s complaining about have been around for almost a year.

I own a two mesmers.
Have been playing since BW1

And have no trouble with warriors.

Sometimes I get outplayed from me dodging something stupid.
But most of the time I completely roll over warriors.

Why not go make a warrior. Go find a good mesmer.

And duel it.

I say again, Warriors are disgustingly overpowered and ANET makes a habit of nerfing anything that beats them.

Oh yea…kite a warrior the most mobile profession in the game….
Its more likely when the warrior is dying he is going to kite you.

Sword 2
GS 3,5
Horn 4
Banners
Bullrush

Warrior = OP mobility, can kite and not be kited.

do you know any good S/W GS warrior builds with bull rush and two banners?

‘cause sprinting builds aren’t exactly good builds for anything other than sprinting.
