Guild Wars 2

^title says…

With all the spirit rangers running around, I haven’t been jumping on the same wagon as hard as some people. As a ranger I want to counter spirit rangers, so what are your guy’s thought on trap ranger?

Personally I have beaten a handful of spirit rangers with traps, but it hasn’t been as successful in high level pvp.

Traps were good back when people would cluster on the node. Good players will now move out of your traps or dodge through them. Also, with the mass amounts of AI running around one of those will be more likely to trigger your traps than an actual player. On top of that, traps leave you with no defensive utilities. So no, trap ranger isn’t viable simply because people have gotten better at the game.

I agree with this. I remember they used to feel like a nightmare. Now they’re whatever. Nerfs probably helped with that.

So, we are basically down to spirit ranger option. Considering I don’t see any more BM rangers either.

this is lame… lol

There’s always something to be said of novelty.
