The latest “fix” essentially rewarded bad players, pushing you to not dodge, your team to sustain damage and those who tried to optimise healing power worse than a glass canon build AF faster.
Since the release of druid all we have had are nerfs/buffs which are either overshot or completely breaks the profession. Community feedback on the profession is clearly not being looked at seriously seeing as practically none of the feedback has actually been listened to with anet taking a throw on the wall see what sticks approach.
Who ever is working on ranger/druid you really need to play the profession or have a small group of dedicated rangers who you need to run every patch/fix before you implement it. Most if not all decent rangers could look at the patches and immediately give you a response weather it is justified and inform you if it is stupid or breaks the profession.
We have an amazing community with many players who are willing to help. So stop ignoring us and randomly throw kitten on the wall to see what sticks.
EDIT: Yes, this should go for all classes but it especially applies to ranger being the profession which is continually at the bottom of the barrel and the most broken class. Other classes don’t have every patch either breaking the class, over nerfing to the ground or stupid unwanted changes which are thrown in for the fun of it.
They won’t get in touch with any of the players who know what they are doing, what they are saying or why can they claim so.
DnT progressed / tested / debugged / checked the design … Well basically did all the kitteny duty for other players and not even a single person was able to suck up their pride and let them have the cookie for doing so (because frankly… They have been doing it for free).
Even after all their tests, DPS builds and efficient guides they made and gave to the community – they turned their backs on them.
ANet already abandoned them and confirmed they will not be testing anything ever again. With this experience in mind – do you really believe they will ever listen to any player out there?
Of course they won’t. They’d rather bury their game with them as they already did with ranger and their community.
