Guild Wars 2

For 2 years ranger has had sup par ranged damage.

Then comes along balance philosophy that and Anet says ranger is suppose to be the best single target ranged dps in the game and mes 2nd.

So longbow buff comes around and all QQ. But this isn’t the part I care about.

Does the ranger create a trinity? where there is finally a ranged DPS class?

No.
Any profession can be a DPS and any profession can support some just better than others in certain circumstances.

Well the game didnt had an actual effective ranged dps meta build prior to this patch… i expect all sword ranger to switch to longbow soon or at least a good part of them. Ranger can finaly play the role it was suposed to. Aka the longrange heavy damage dealer.
