ANet, What is Being Done to Fix This Broken Class?
They’re not going to say anything.
We need to use a respectful tone, or the ranger sub forums might get locked.
Sooo.. Anet, can we pllleeeeaaaassseee have an update on the ranger profession?

This would actually help our cause, It would open the eyes of other players.

Respect works both ways and in case you didn’t notice yet we’re not getting any from Anet.

No reply doesn’t mean not respected. If they posted that it’s being fixed, people will rant that it took forever. If they say it’s in the works, people will say it’s taking to long. If they say it’s in the next patch, people will say ANET doesn’t care about their players for taking so long. Ranger isn’t the only class bugged in this game.
Alot of people are never satisfied in mmos.
Every profession board has this post. Every class thinks they are worthless and broken, my main is an 80 necro and its all over those forums, eles complain they are worthless, guardians are saying they are the most worthless profession in WVW with no ranged damage, and that the symbol change last patch “destroyed the GS beyond all repair” mesmers say they are worthless in any pve and can’t do any damage, warriors say they are the most worthless class in pvp/tpvp, thiefs are kitten about all their nerfs, engineers well I haven’t been to their forums but I would bet its the same…
Every class in the game is “broke” and completely worthless and everyone is going to quit their class next week if they don’t get massive sweeping changes this week.

They’re not going to say anything because the ranger is fine. I’m placing a large guess around you aren’t playing you character well. I’m running Shortbow and Longbow combo, screw the combat weapons and I am running great in tournament as a power build.
You get a poison, cripple and stun shot plus a knockback, 10 stack vulnerability, rapid fire and an AoE cripple, what else could you ask for. Certainly viable. I have tested many builds, they all work well but in my opinion, both bow combo is the most fun for me.

Have you even read the thread that’s gotten a reply from a dev?
They didn’t say “we’ll fix it” they basically said “Yeah, we nerfed you… now deal with it.”
actual quote below.
Took a couple of days to get debugging in on this. It is in fact a 40ms difference which equates to about 7% less damage when spamming 1. We made this change because it was creating some animation bugs to leave it where it was. It was also encouraging just spamming 1 which isn’t the most fun gameplay. If our data shows shortly that shortbow is now not effective we can certainly address that, but would do so by improving other skills on that weapon rather than by reintroducing the spam on 1 and the bugs that it was creating.
This reply seemed as if that he ignored every post following his first one. Not only that but the replies after this said that there’s data suggesting that it’s more than a 7% dps nerf (which isn’t even accurate. The math alone says it’s 8% [7.6%]). Not a single **** was given after that post, is what seems to be conveyed by ANET.
Ranger is still viable to play, for sure. But they are just not very good compared to near any other classes.
As a ranger, I came to the conclusion, by myself, that SB is the only way to go for dps. If thousands others came to the same conclusion that means the other weapons are just plain bad (except warhorn).
And for them to nerf our best weapon skill without fixing the many many ranger issues and then lying about it, is wrong in so many ways.
…. then again I am repeat what hundreds other have said. Oh well, for so many people to say roughly the same things must mean something right?
@Blueprint
There are classes that are ‘broke’ in various sense of the word. Are they playable? Sure. Does that mean the game is balanced or that bugs don’t exist? No.
Necros have absurd number of bugs. Eles have crazy low damage (from what I understand). sPvP is now vastly 3 classes. Nerfs and buffs have already happened and will continue to happen (there was a post about downstate changes incoming).
Moreover, it isn’t that unreasonable to ask for communication which was actually more to the point of his post than his complaint about UP-ness.
I understand being tired of QQ’ing but going the other direction pretending that the game is in perfect condition is crazy too.
from what ive seen, spvp and tpvp are: warriors, thieves, mesmers, guardians and engies. all solid profs, somewhat balanced and well represented.
eles and rangers are virtually nonexistent in tpvp, and necros are rare. these three need help, ranger the most. and some thief and warrior numbers need serious toning down.
