Guild Wars 2

Point is they (gs AA, ranger rapid, lee frost bow) all have the same features, a long range attribute dependant attack easily traced back to the attacker due to the visuals. Hence there is no problem with the attacks you just have to use your noggin to counter (dodge/reposition/focus attack). It brings a welcome extra layer to pvp that isn’t just melee based and requires your team mates to help you defend..

lol, just LOL. Did you just say “dodge” to an auto-attack?
Seriously, WHY?

AA → Dodge → 1 sec later → another AA → Dodge → 10 seconds of eating AA due to no endurance.

Hopefully never. They’re fine as they are.

hum… were have I heard that before…

AW yeah!! Thieves and Warriors when you guys came running to the forum begging for nerfs!

What happened to them?! oh yeah! that’s right!

But aren’t Thieves and Warriors still in the meta? Just like they’ve been for the past year? Where as Rangers, especially power Rangers have been? Where exactly?

Yea thats a good idea. Lets make power rangers irrelevant again.

No I didn’t say that you just misinterpreted my post then acted like a kitten in front of everybody whilst others are trying to have a discussion. Dodge/reposition/counter wasn’t in any particular order (hence / meaning or). Never did I say dodge the AA.

It’s the answer to aoe fog war. 1500 range.

Don’t mess with aoe condi. Buff rangeed dps

Btw……what happened to melee?

I think Anet is in a pickle.

That much damage from that far and at that speed is the problem.

They can’t retain all of that

That much damage from that far and at that speed with blocking, evading, immunity, reflecting, adsorbing is a problem. How?

Because ranger players are too stupid to bait defenses or evades??

Last night switched to beastmaster to try it out (all the rage, etc). It hilariously owns Longbow unless they have a significant positional advantage.

actually i wish they would get nerfed, they contribute little to the team
none of them captures any points nor can hold any point

Played right, and if you only have 1, they contribute heavily to a team. Fast moving denial/fight turner can be useful.

having 2 or 3 is a detriment.

Melee is still around if you play a hambow Warrior. Not so much for damage as for crowd control. Other than that ranged is the new melee.

Thanks.

You are absolutely correct!
Both thieves and warriors were NERFED and r still in meta. Why wold rangers get a different treatment? They WILL get needed. It is inevitable but hopefully they will remain viable. Just like thieves as warriors.

It’s just the flavor of the month. Once people get more used to it and glassy rangers start dropping like flies (even more so than they are already) it will fade out and 90% of the PvP population will go back to playing Guardians, Warriors and Turret Engis.

There is nothing OP about Ranger right now
Just like any class/build it has certain things that it is good at killing
And certain things that it is bad at killing

So before you complain that Rangers are OP
Consider that maybe the build you’re using, is countered by Rangers
In the same way that your build is good at countering certain other builds

Rock/Paper/Scissors, this is GW2
