Left a year ago, Ranged dominated PVP, come back a year later, ranged dominates pvp. This should be called kite wars.

haha yeah, absolutely yeah. There is a reason the ratio of Mesmers, rangers, elementalists, engineers to warriors and guardians is like a bazillion to one…

Wait! You are serious! :O

Honestly, what do you play? Hotjoin? Rangers have no viable build left in Team nor SoloQ…

Some reading can help your judgement a bit… Rangers are the worst to take within a team…

he wrote rangeD, not rangeR as in, ranged combat.

That said…. what? You seriously think Guardians and Warriors are underrepresented? Guard is still THE gamechanger in conquest mode being able to hold a point forever until help comes and war has possibly the largest number of viable builds in pvp out of all classes even besides the infamous hambow or condi war.

..and even if it was true, your points still make little sense, elementalists are not ranged (dagger dagger is a melee spec and is the most puplar build) and you completely disregarded thieves which are very popular and also melee focused.

If kiting is your issue maybe you should switch around your utilities or weapon choiches a bit.

I blame my tablet >.>

My point still stands though, his point is flawed and baseless…. The amount of ranged classes versus melee is about 40-60, as you cannot cap points by standing in range…

Good player does not make a good class…

I know someone who plays a fantastic spirit ranger, but he himself has noted that he gets outclassed by a decent Elementalist who can do roughly the same but better… Same with power-ranger, it does what it needs to do, but not better than most other power classes…

I am curious for your build though, can you link it? :O

LOS-ing and then cornerstacking has proven to be useless in PvP – who would’ve known! :O

Well, what do you know: Firewall at work is more relaxed during the summer, it seems..

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fNAQJAVTjEq0yaJLGsw1ag8gaVA0OIS4fg9GcClQBbqA-TJhFwAAeCAKuEAi2fYaZAA

Short commentary with this build: It’s purely bow (LB/SB), designed to roam around, take out enemies quickly, cap a point and roam further..
Advantage of build: Purely ranged, so pew pew pew until they get close to you (if you are fighting a melee).
Disadvantage: Purely ranged, so pew pew pew and you’re screwed when they get close to you (if fighting melee).

:-)

You start fights with the longbow, (LB#3 and LB#5 afterwards), you get into the barrage circle, swap to short (chill them if they are indeed still close), activate quickening zephyr, decimate with shortbow.
Choice of pets: Both canines, so they have a knockdown attack (= awesome). Also, for CC: Wolf AoE fears and Hound AoE immobilizes..

I’m entirely certain that lots of people will have some nice words about this build, I’m also fully aware that it does not suit everyone’s playstyle (being a glassy cannon means you’ll have to practice a lot to make sure you can evade the most), but yeah, it is the build I have the most fun playing with..

Nevertheless, any remarks (constructive please) are more than welcome..

Interesting, though I am a bit concerned for the lack of Condi Removal =/

It looks really beastly on paper though, having your pet attack when you deal powerful attacks from range, again I doubt the spec against other classes but that is my concern :P
I doubt it will become meta, but at least it looks fun :P

Aye, the only condi removal is the traited grandmaster.. An condi-heavy class can make short work of this build..

Well, it is indeed fun.. And as far as I can tell that’s the main reason why I play this game: To have fun!

I don’t think it’ll become meta, as mentioned, you’re very squishy, so it takes some training.. So the skill cap to play it decently (without sounding too kitteny) is higher than other (meta) builds..

I think the only solution is to significantly buff warriors.
