Guild Wars 2

Even in regular pve it’s bad in comparison to most classes, of course the class till shred through everything but it’s honestly far from being glorious.

In fractal/dungeon it’s honestly terrible. The class barely brings anything to the table and this is my main problem. To be honest i’m pretty sad as i find the one handed sword hilarous to use and pressing f2 with my river drake.

And again… Thief got a buff! lol!
Shadow Shot: This ability now allows the player to move while executing dagger strike portion of the ability.
Shadow Step to the target, keep blinding the target (just monitor the blind icon on the target and cast it again with Initiative = perma blind the target) and now they could even move with this skill.
And all of that in just 1 Skill called Shadow Shot lol!
Play a Thief and you’ll know how OP that skill is even before this buff.

I’ve never had any issues with PVE content on my Ranger. Normal PVE content that is. I actually find him more efficient than many classes at it while using a variety of builds. Then again I usually get alot out of my pets. If you are not using your pets correctly you will indeed be sub-par.

Traps, Power, Condition Damage, Bunker, Ranged, Melee, Support. I have personally verified these as viable and competitive options in general PVE and PVP.

Dungeons are another beast altogether and we are not the only class/spec that has alot more issues in dungeons. I expect pets will get some sort of AOE damage reduction in dungeons eventually, or some sort of 1 shot protection.
