Guild Wars 2

Ok I was doing a bit of spvp, and one time I got downed by this ranger. (clearly as he had a pet by his side, and I clicked on his tag) When I got downed, I was planning to use the engineer skill 2 (the pull) to mess up his jump finish-him thing. The weird thing was, he suddenly hid and I could not see him in my screen. Then I suddenly died from the finisher. I checked the wiki and I could not see a skill that grants him invis.

Same ranger, got downed. threw the pull thing, nothing happened. (and he wasn’t out of range, range is pretty long, 900).

What’s going on? :O

Thieves have a couple of allies that can stealth allies, and blast/leap finishers through smoke fields can cause stealth.

Rangers also have a trait called hide in plain sight where they stealth if they’re hit with a CC like stun, or knockdown (with a 90 second cooldown).

oooooh ok i must’ve hit him with that CC and it triggered. huh. for a minute there I thought people were hacking in spvp)

So wait. A Ranger goes invisible for 2 seconds and now we’re hacking? Rangers can also stealth via “tuft of hair” and “feathers” from the forage skill.

However, the way “Forage” was implemented it’s no wonder nobody uses it. Who wants to channel three skills, take up a pet slot, and stand still for ten seconds…just for 3 seconds of stealth? How is any of that logical in a game based around movement? There’s just so many signs of the Ranger getting the short stick it’s not even funny anymore.

No, you misunderstood. I’m not familiar with other classes hence I had to look up the ranger skills online. When I saw nothing in their active skills gives them stealth, I was a bit confused. Now no longer =P

Understandable. I def would consider exploring other classes, so you can predict and dodge attacks.

Rangers also have Rage as One that grants stability, so by using your CC you can trigger HiPS and not even knock them down!

Stomping and ressing are two areas in which Rangers really excel.

There is a move rangers have that should be on the warriors skills as well. I think its call rampage of the beast or something. They’re glowing red and it seems they’re immune to a lot of stuff until it wears off.

That’d be rampage as one, which grants Fury, Stability, and Swiftness for 20 seconds for both you, and your pet, as well as one stack of might for your pet for each time you hit your enemy, and one for you each time your pet hits an enemy.

Yeah that’s the one and warriors should have that type elite skill. It would be cool if they can hotfix that ability into the warriors Rampage elite skill since its a 180 second cool down. Warriors may spec into that more than always going with signet of rage cookie cutter pvp spec.
