Guild Wars 2

I think we all agree that rangers should be prohibited in WvW. 1500 range and 15 stacks of vulnerability in 2 seconds is too kittening much to handle.

their range makes them stand outside of the zerg and their damage is predominately single target, non-burst, and quite low.

Ok, then we should also block:

• Mesmers that can put 12 stacks of confusion in groups of enemies.
• Elementalists that can run away 1200 range by using 1 skill and have super large AoE.
• Necromancers that can spread diseases (conditions if you like) to everyone in a zerg.
• Thieves that can perma stealth.
• Warriors that can do 30k+ damage in 2secs
• Guardians that don’t die.
• Engineers that can throw 1000 granades on you before you can even react.

Also, remove trebs… They can poison people in a large area from 10000 range!!!

Yes, rangers are incredibly OP!

One time, I saw a ranger swoop through an entire zerg one shotting them. They then metered out unicorns of doom with their bow of justice to anyone trying to help their fallen allies. This ONE ranger took out, like, 3 million of my team mates. Pure, unadulterated destruction. No other class has ranged attacks, why do rangers? No other class can apply conditions, why can rangers?

I would have recorded it for proof, but it happened SO fast!

Then I learned to strafe; problem solved! :P

Longbow is garbage at close range so just get within 1000 range of the ranger and you can out-damage him guaranteed. Longbow is a physical damage weapon and Rangers don’t have many build options so you shouldn’t have to worry about any other weapon being a huge threat in close range.

Just don’t run from the Ranger otherwise he will shoot you down.

On a more serious note, with the introduction of stealth reveal traps, I am starting to see less thieves and more roaming rangers with bunker builds running around the place.

yea I finally got burnt out on my ranger and im leveling a thief :p

I want to feel the power just occasionally obscene damage numbers would be nice.

You got hit by a longbow at 1500 range? Were you standing still or what?

rofl, rangers are good, but they are mostly single target fire. not much AoE.

Haha yeah. I recently got a thief to 80 and put some exotics on him. Yesterday I did a 5000k backstab and literally stopped playing (in a large fight) to process what had just happened.

Then somebody targeted me, and I died.

Hands down the least effective class in WvW. Please nerf.
