Guild Wars 2

lol at you people who actually think Ranger got nerfed with this patch.
Sorry, but after exclusive testing it in 1 vs 1 and in pvp, I can safely say that Spirit Ranger did not get nerfed. It’s actually a lot better now because the CD in between each kill is only 25 second and the spirits would’ve still lasted 60 second if they stayed alive.

Vamp Rook.7835:

-All spirits can now be launched, knocked down, and knocked back.

-Storm Spirit, Frost Spirit, Sun Spirit, Stone Spirit, and Spirit of Nature will now begin their recharge when the spirit dies instead of when the spirit is summoned.

-Storm Spirit, Frost Spirit, Sun Spirit, and Stone Spirit: Recharge has been reduced from 60 seconds to 25 seconds.

-Spirit of Nature: Recharge has been reduced from 240 seconds to 180 seconds.
Solar Flare: Fixed a bug so this skill no longer applies a duplicate infinite duration blind.

Play another build in place let spirit playing in your place. I don’t want ranger out of spvp they should be as strong as other classes but previous spirit ranger build is something that’s really never would appear in any game, pvp or not, ridicolous IA spam simply deleting it it’s the best thing a dev could do. Ranger deserve a better competite tpvp build than spirit ranger, there’s plenty of solutions but just delete that ridicolous zoo.

At first I didn’t like the change because it limited ranger builds, but after playing for a few days, I really like the change. Now, every time I see a spirit ranger, I simply kill the spirits with one aoe. That gives me at least 30 seconds to burst down the defenseless ranger. Talk about easy mode pvp!

Ranger isn’t going anywhere. You don’t have to run all spirits to make use of the build. There are plenty of other options for Ranger utilities.

Ranger is still the best 1v1 class in the game in a competitive match.

Don’t know why I keep posting that in this thread when people that obviously have no idea how the class works keep whining, but there’s the GW2 forums for you.
