Guild Wars 2

I have solutions!
Make spirits orbs/small floaters that stick to the ranger. No more ai, no clutter, easier on the ranger, less Aoe cap hitting.

Guardian Spirits – turn into spirit buff. Sword has a 1 second icd, lasts 30 second (acts like a wind fury), when you hit, a sword spawns slashing and vanishing dealing extra damage when you hit. (This can cleave)
Spirit shield is a buff, creates a visual of a spirit shield over the guardian. Grants aegis to guardian and 4 nearby allies every 20 seconds and lasts 40 seconds (give aegis on cast too). When hit, you gain 2 seconds of protection with a 6 second icd.
Something similar, non ai based for bow and hammer.

Minions could (though this would be vastly different) turn into haunts. Cast on an enemy and they last 20 seconds and have 20 second CDs. They haunt the target causing the associated ghost to attack every 4 seconds that spawns at the enemy haunted, attacks then vanishes. You can evade haunt attacks and they cleave. Pressing the skill again detonates the haunt, consuming it for an additional effect. (Haunt caste are not evadable, though the ghosts are) They also do slightly less damage to make up for the cleave and lack of ai issues. No more Aoe absorbing, less clutter, etc.

Delete mesmers :P

Might as well delete Rangers. OP BEAR IS OP.

Where do you see the word OP in my post? I just said get rid of this kitten, its PvP not player vs minions

In our defense… (Except for phantasms) we have to do quite a bit of control to allow let uptime. That’s what makes mm fun for me. It’s like being personally pretty weak, lack of passive defenses, but we’re swinging a giant wrecking ball of minions which are at a loss without me. I control my enemy so my pets can be useful. Its a fun and unique dynamic. Unfortunately people are too narrow minded to understand that. Must spam moar Aoe, stability and 1111111111 with zerker to be considered skillful. -rolls eyes-

So why are you challenging minions?

I thought minions are summoned by the necromancer.

He probably can’t see the master because he doesn’t know how to turn off minion name plates (see below) and asura hiding, which is an entirely different issue. You know the magic rule. Fear what you don’t understand.

Also ruining gaming experience? The elementalist being at the bottom of the balance food chain.

I think anyone that PvPs on a regular basis can second this OP.

Except people with a brain and can look at things at a different angle. d(‘-’d)

Totally agree. AI must be reworked in this game. The amount of AI in one match its too high. That and the amout of effects a battle have make my fps drop from 50 to 15 and lower and play with that confusion on the screen its not fun at all.

Besides, this should be PvP, not PvE.

The problem is also that AE does not hit all pets in radius only 5 targets. Played yesterday against Mesmer/Necro/Necro/Spirit ranger in a mid fight. I could not count the pets in this fight.

It is just as ronpierce.2760, you guys are too narrow mind. In the future I need a new line of Utility for Thief which called “Buddy”

1. You call a buddy Thief with Dual Pistol to fight alongside with you.
2. You call a buddy Thief with Dual Sword to fight alongside with you.
3. You call a buddy Thief with Dual Dagger to fight alongside with you.
4. You call a buddy Thief with Dual Shortbow to fight alongside with you. (I know Shortbow is 2-hand but one just doesn’t look cool enough)

Elite: Thief Guild is now counted as Buddy.

New Traits:
-Buddy Master: Reduces recharge on Buddy skills by 20%
-Gangbang: Your Buddy deal 20% damage.
-Buddy in Arms: Buddy have increased health by 50%.
-Best Buddy: Your Buddy has 10% chance to steal boon and give it to you.
-Best Buddy Forever: Your Buddy has suicide boom with them. When your Buddy died they will take your enemies in that area with them.

Just by look at it you can see how this is going to open entire new way to play Thief or maybe GW2 in general. And this build is going to take you over 100 hours and hours of your time just to truly master it. And the next step would be… time to give Warrior a new line of Utility too which will be called “Army”…

Try it. I bet you realize real fast why you’d die constantly without proper utilities lol. Also the big difference between thief having pets versus necros if that necros don’t have perma evade and perma stealth. :P

Let’s not be stupid just for the sake of argument. You don’t realize how much you rely on your current utilities until you don’t have them.

I have a solution—make them invisible because there is basically never a time you want to be targetting them (okay rarely revive spirit) specifically and they just get in the way

Yes! Make my minions invisible.

How are you gonna be able to shoot me while I can hide behind an invisible bear or on, say a necro, an invisible army? If I can SEE the minions I can shoot around them….

@OP Btw if you wanna kill a MM use AoE conditions, MM are strong vs direct damage, pair that with the fact that minions have low health pools and you’ll cut through them.

But that’d require someone such as yourself to think of a solution to kill the build and not just go “LAWLZ MOAR ZERKER!”
