Did everyone enjoy the global nerf to group buff’s range (1200—->600), be it shout, virtue, elem’s water etc…? I’m still trying to understand Anet’s sincere and fervent hatred for ranged class. That nerf means, if you are a ranged class with 600+ range, you are …abit left out in group buffs. Ranged class being ranged for a reason: they are squishy. They are squishy for a reason: they are ranged. Now Anet practically forces ranged folks to stop they are doing (hassle much?) and abandon the safety of range just to get the buffs they normally would have gotten. Either that or front line people falls back to give everyone the buff along with the mobs too,. It’s just clunky group’s operation. And I know Anet has been singing the song " be rewarded for skillful play" to justify their nerfs. Hey Anet, I beg the differ: there’s a difference between “game play challenge” and “just plain annoyance”, and there’s a difference between “rewarded” and “given back what previously had”. There’s nothing “skillful” in people repeatedly abandoning posts to get a buff. And didn’t we have a conversation condemning “group stacking” because it’s just gimmicky and cheap game play? What you are doing is basically encouraging even more group stacking.
All hail the zerg!
I’ve been ruminating on this for a bit. It seems an intentional design decision to bring support characters closer to the fight, which increases synergy. I’m not sure how much I agree with it, considering movement and dodging are important, but it does make placement and position more important to a party.
I’m sorry, 1200 never felt appropriate. 600 feels much better.

Is that so? how about 300? or how about no range at all, would that make you super happy? People like you are merchants’ dream customers. Not that many customers out there demands less for the money.
