Guild Wars 2

Tired of engi/ranger spamming on obsi sanctum from 1500 range where they are unhittable by ALL CLASSES except traited rangers/engis…so fair and fun

Suck it up, shorty.

Who cares about OS?

Only thing that can be called “unfair” is being able to attack stuff while having “determined” buff on.

Ranger is op! Nerf it finaly pls!

Ranger has a trait line that increase longbow (eagle eye) range to 1500.

If you died by a ranger doing that, probably you deserve it. I’m sure you were killing noobs in the entrance who wanted go to the puzzle for achievement. If you want balanced duels, go to the obsidian sanctum’s arena like a man!

Yes, and to have it, a Ranger needs to give up Piercing Arrows (which is one of their few ways to hit multiple targets with their arrows), Spotter (which helps their team), or Signet of the Beastmaster (which allows active signet effects to apply to the Ranger and not just their pet). And now ANet will be adding yet another choice to give up, Read the Wind, which will allow arrows to travel faster. Right now, my WvW-traited ranger doesn’t have Eagle Eye and does without the 1500 range because I think both Piercing Arrows and Signet of the Beastmaster are more important.

ranger getting ya down? roll an elementalist and hit him from an even farther range than his bow with the splash of your fire staff 1 button. pew pew pew!

Who cares about OS, seriously.
laming/childish stuff everywhere.

The exploits during this tournament are quite different…….

Ha ha…

Just to make the OP’s day, Rangers are getting a new trait on the 15.4.14, that allows there arrows to travel twice as fast. So they will be able to stick 2x the amount of arrows in you now, all at 1500 range…lol

So your complaint is that the ‘Ranger’ class… has longer ‘range’?

Which means doing without Spotter, Signet of the Beastmaster or Piercing arrows. Improving single target dps at the expense of survivability and multi target hitting is usually known as compromise.

So are you asking for nerfs to these classes? Are you actually asking for a nerf to the Ranger…. lol.

Sure bring the ranger down to 1200 but reduce the damage and defense of every other class by 30% to compensate.

the LB AA with trait can reach 1800 range (level ground). It is a bug, and has been confirmed by ArenaNet as being “unfixable” for the time being as the bug is related to the targeting system itself..

So no, you cannot “outrange” a ranger. Oh and the only way to get 1500 range with ele is to use meteor shower. That means that you will have a RNG AOE vs a focused single target damage weapon. Fact is, you need to channel meteor shower, so you are likely to get killed by just trying.

No, the rate of fire stays the same but the arrows hit easier to their targets.

i killed a warrior in melee range with LB last week at Thursday. and i ran full glass on my ranger. So pls don’t say that is sad, because every warrior will be grieving then.

it was posted in humor and you spent way to much time responding to it. go play wvw and help TC win.

You can count on one hand, the amount of situations where 1500 range actually gives an advantage. Trading hits between the invulnerable ledges in Obsidian Sanctum is extremely boring, but more power to you if that’s what you like to do though.

I agree it’s somewhat cheap, but you can always just walk back a few steps and get the Invulnerable buff yourself so they can’t kill you. There was a Blackgate ranger on the nearby platform that seemed to have it in for me and kept on trying to kill me. I don’t think he managed to get a single kill (on myself or anybody else) because we’d just insta-revive anybody who got downed. It was nothing but a colossal waste of time for him.
