In fact in pvp ranger is not so great. but in W3 I can say Ranger IS NOT the worst on the field when maxed gear… lets see.. 1.5k crits with sb at 1200?
if you ever make one i can give you some build tips but honestly ranger takes alot of bang to get your value out of em..
Thing like trading runes of the ranger for only divinity runes is rule of thumb for a W3 ranger. Also the Forge Amulet is a must have! The list is infant really on tactics and for me to go in detail without Mumble or TS or somthing It would take me along time. But key things like in W3 only using a SB(pow prc crit)/{AC}Axe (sigil energy).warhorn (sigil hydromancy) will give you great buff to staying alive. just swap too it when you thing you will die and warhorn out!
you may find that most other classes are better dps. while that is true who said anything about picking only the most OP class. I’m sure your in it for fun and enjoyment like everone else.
Ranger is a blast. And when everything is said and done. Our day will come.

Ranger is “fine” for PvP, however to play paid tournaments certain team builds are stronger than others and not only ranger class is kittened in there, many classes have only 1 viable build (uhhhh…so fun everyone running with the same builds).
Also, what’s the deal about loving PvP but saving “time” spent on ranger when you can create a character in 2 minutes and get it ready for sPvP.
If by PvP you mean WvW then ranger it’s quite good, there are far worse classes for WvW.
No, each class only has one “viable” build for the current META, if you don’t run the meta (because you’re intelligent enough to either counter the Meta or know how to exploit top end pvpers who only know how to fight that one group comp) you’ll still be effective, if not more so.

I think your missing is point completely.
Anyway. Rangers do great in group w3. and you can build it more then one viable way… What is this “one ‘viable’ build for the current META”?
After I typed this and was about to send a reply, It did dawn on me that your simply upset at the newest patch like the rest of us and not alot of point for us to fight each other. I just dont think everyone should be giving up when this are much worst classes in w3. Let alown PvE lol

The current “meta” in sPvP is a “glass” mes with portal, a bunker guardian, a con/support necro, a roaming thief, and a staff ele, or something very close to that.
A lot of the higher up people “think” rangers are bad, i don’t think they’re bad (no matter how pissed i am that my spirits were nerfed), that being said a lot of people don’t share my views.
PS: In PvE and WvW we are fine (except our pets in WvW but that’s more of the same issues we have in large scale PvE)
