Guild Wars 2

I still enjoy my ranger and I don’t think the class is broken. Hope some of you rangers can feel the same!

Hey Miiro, no one is saying that a ranger cannot fight, after all, your individual skills make the difference in small battles. The problem is that any class can do it much better now, with half the effort of your skills. When you speak like that, it tells devs that nerfing the class is ok without any reward and the pets should not be improved. Good for you, you can fight in wvw, but do not ignore the rest of us mortals.

Well, after 2 hours in Spvp, I gotta say my sub-par ranger BM build dont really get hit hard, although my bird F2 is no longer that hard hitting, but slash actually get buffed lol, the only changes I made is I replaced my pet move 30% faster with grants might on crit, and forced to replace muddy terran with signet of hunt and change 2 Lacerating Slash into chill slash and blind slash. I run 0/20/30/0/20. Shortbow down to 900 range is acceptable in Spvp since most fight you encountered are within 900 range anyways.

But the point is since other under powered classes get buffed a lot besides warriors(I still think warriors get an slightly overall buff), these rangers changes basically makes us less demanded again.

I didn’t intend to sound as if I’m above anyone, but maybe give some hope on looking at the patch half full. I’m not happy with the new patch but people don’t have to reroll, just maybe rework something in their build.

Do you dislike the muddy terrain change? I wasn’t sure how I felt about it because it gives 2s of cripple now which is pretty cool but the cool down and timer changes made me wonder.

Muddy terrain was and is never a good skill imo due to the huge start up animation and glitchy pulses: I had times players literally walked through it without a single cripple, now since I dont have slot for 30% pet speed anymore, I kinda forced replace muddy terrain which is the worse skill in my build to a passive speed boost and a timely burst option.
