To be fair it isn’t the whiners… people have been whining about thief, mesmer, ele etc. for years and they’ve never done anything about them.
I mean crhist right now we have thieves that are literally never visible when they kill you and they haven’t done anything about it.
You know.. I don’t even care about other classes at this point. I’m kittening tired of knee-jerk nefs to the ranger. I mean, come on, how do you go about nerfing one skill and destroying an entirely different and unrelated skill in the process?.
Oh I don’t disagree with you at all. I think it’s ridiculous and have rolled my eyes constantly over the years at Anet’s treatment of rangers.
Sucks it’s the only class that appeals to me.
Bristleback can’t hit anything? Let’s fix the HP bug instead.
Hah! I knew it. Less than three days out the gate, and PvP players’ demands nerfed the only good pet. And, in the meanwhile, rangers still have the biggest bug list to date.
I think this is the first MMO I’ve ever seen players scream nerf for a pet.
How about Smokescale goes when every other hard hitting ability in the game goes away or Rangers get the option to get rid of a broken piece of kitten that 30% of our damage is locked behind. kitten off with your witch hunts against anything half decent Rangers get. Go complain about D/D ele or something.

YO, this is how ALL pets should be like, considering the amount of damage ranger DOESN’T have because its split with the pet. I’m just glad this pet actually hit targets now!
Its pretty much a l2p issue at this point, just you know… dodge. Oh yeah and revenants, can’t forget them… oh reapers… scrappers… LOL
How many dodges do people have? For low health pool classes we dodge the rapidfire as that near kills us if we don’t… and not every class has access to protection, blocks or other means of damage mitigation! If there’s a bug which made this strong and it got fixed then so be it!
I’ve yet to come across this so no idea what it’s like really but if something is overpowered then standing pointing at another class and going “but they are” doesn’t suddenly mean yours isn’t or that it shouldn’t be addressed! It is possible that many things will need a tweak to balance things well, so post about those concerns of yours on those classes.
No the damage nerf is okay because it was needed. Changing the f2 ability is not. right now you have a pet which will randomly smoke yourself and your party making when it a complete baggage.
Well, I want to stealth a few times, while use UA as much as possible, so I think I can live with the fact that I can only stealth when pet-swapping
This isn’t even an argument, it would use UA as much as possible regardless. You can easily time UA on pet swap aswell. Use F3 after swap if you want to buff the pet before using it.
9/10 people want the on-demand smokefield, and therefore the option to have it outside combat and indepedent of a skill rotation. The swap kittening stupid.
It was hilarious watching people defend the damage of this pet.
I know right! Rangers getting upset about being nerfed repeatedly in a 24-48 hour time span on every patch that comes out. How dare they get upset. It is so funny to watch.
I played against reapers and thiefs, that have way more ‘overtuned’ stuff then the smokescale was. And now they double nerfed it. Nerfed it as about the only thing in the game, proving they hate ranger more then other specs, etc.
Nobody of ranger community that is serious, disagrees with the damage nerf. But the other nerf (and druid, who had 4 nerfs on celestial form, rendering it useless), and WhaO debacle, proved the devs hate rangers. Disclaimer I play all profession often and long. I have no bias against any prof. But the devs definitely do (Roy prefers revenant and hates rangers, everyone who reads forums often knows this).
Legendary weapons can be hidden now!
No excuse anymore for not giving ‘hide mounts’-option
No thanks to unidentified weapons.
