The ranger seems to be the most universally hated class for structured guild WvW. I think it has to do with the ranger fills lots of roles but none as good as another class.
I’m interested to hear other people’s opinions as to how to cure this.
One suggestion I think would go far would be to make the greatsword 4 attack have a lower cooldown(8-10 seconds when traited with martial mastery) and be an AoE blast daze/stun along the lines of the warrior’s hammer burst skill earthshaker. All other classes have access to more blasts than the ranger and all classes have access to some superior hard CC. The blasts available to the ranger are the warhorn and tailswipe pet skills…only the warhorn can you guarantee will happen during a fight. I think this small change would give the ranger a way to compete or at least be appreciated alongside the warrior as a weaker armored yet water field generating compliment to the team.
