Guild Wars 2

If we are playing ‘’The best game on the world’’ lets face the option, that we don’t have enough freedom at making our play style unique. For example ranger pet. I would suggest more like original ranger style, just like necromancer has option to play without minions.
Rangers would get less pet dependent for those who like to play without pets and different styles ( i like pets myself, but would like to see ranger being more customizable and creative as this class should be).

Let me say it again, i like pet style, but i would like to change my play stile daily.

Removing pet would give you other benefits:

• while not with pet ranger would get new trait but u can pick only one of them for exchange of pet tree:
  * Marksmanship (base dmg options)
  * Trapping ( trap combo option unlock)
  * Sign of Hunt (more options to combat as solo traveler with conditions)

1) Picking: Marksmanship

• More dmg with TRUE LONG BOW… at the moment players rather take short bow
  over long bow because its skill reuse and dmg outcome is lower than short bow
  overall. Therefor i would suggest giving us more strength with long bow.
• more ability to single target
• higher base dmg while taking this trait

2) Picking: Trapping

• bonus to trapping dmg for exchange of pet dmg
  * trap combo (if your drop two traps to make an union):
  – spike trap + fire trap = cripple, burning + bonus of combo: daze
  – frost trap + fire trap = chill, burning + bonus of combo: knockdown
  – snake trap+ fire trap = poison, burning+bonus of combo: fear
  – annnd so on… being creative would be nice right?..

3)Picking: Sign of Hunt

• Full control and stronger control of conditions.
• Full control of spirits more options to add while not with pet.
• Ability to use some crafting bonus.

Crafting:
And last one should be strong example what would crafting make more useful and alive:
As i’m suggesting the ranger style, i’ll focus only on what could ranger get from crafting:

• huntsman for rangers:
• better traps, trap bonus food(dmg,radius etc),
• Arrow bonus conditions for Condition trait
• Pet food, armor / gear

This are some of my suggestions, because at the moment i don’t feel like i’m very creative with this what i have (take skills aside, we are talking only about how well you can customize the game itself to get unique style). I would want to have more options to work on, because some of us play 99.9% of our time a Ranger and while you do that, you notice TONES of options to give and add.

Not a wow fan, so don’t compare me as one of them or anything, i just think we should get more options as game advances.
