Now the lack of beta testing time makes sense. It was dead before it was ever born. I could not be more disappointed.

gosh i have waited for that since 3 years. Finally A-Net figured out that
1 single meta build is worse than trinity.

And finally i can give back what was thrown at me for 3 years.

GW2 is about tactics and skills now, if you don’t like it GW2 is not for you

So getting a new meta for each profession is better? it’s still gonna be 1 best spec to use. nothing changes but your gear stats.

I hate it SOOO MUCH.

Even if trinity is back, I HATE to be that guy who can only do the healing!

I want to be aggressive and kill things from range! That’s why I pick ranger!
I don’t pick a ranger just so I can be a kitten healer…

Seriously, now we are relegated to healing in dungeons, fractals, HoT, and i am sure it will be a forced thing in WvW as well. So much for hoping my ranger might be viable in the game as something more than " Heal, Heal, Heal".

Well.. sorry you are disappointed.
But i am afraid GW2 is not for you if you can’t adapt to somethign else than zerker meta.
They will change a lot and even mentioned that you should dust off your tank for the future to soak up heavy hits.

There are plenty other games around that are more likely to your likings

Umm where did i say i wanted to be a zerker? or that i expected it to be that way with my character ? I play a ranger as my main, it has been mistreated by A-net since day one and has received the garbage end of the shaft for 3 years, of course i am not gonna be pleased that the only way A-net can make us semi useful is to turn us into HEALBOTS.

Zerker my rearend, you have read into something i never said or even eluded to, but thanks for putting words into my own sentences.

Play a Ranger as yer main and you tell me how fun it is to get refused good groups.

DRUID IS SOOOOO GOOOOD

I take it you never played a main healer in other games….

Get ready for the demanding leaders…. the stupid DPSer’s, the holier than thou tanker’s, and the smug stealther’s. All of whom think it is there job to tell you how you are doing your job wrong, because they are too idiotic to not stand in the red, or the fire, or to dodge, or to not grab aggro… or whatever other scenario you will be placed in as the defacto healer and the one responsible for all of there failings.

I played holy pally and resto druid in wow for four years sir and I loved it.

Ranger is my main char as well and i don’t think its as bad as you make it.
I have absolutely no problem to get into dungeon groups or fractals or whatever.
And i use the lfg tool as everyone else.
Maybe it helps that i am not a serious gamer and just enjoy the role of a ranger instead pimping it to the top of possibility.
And dodging rangers are feared in PvP as well.

It is a nice adition to an already nice class and nobody is forced to play healer

Ranger already is one of the highest DPS classes in PvE.

And if you watched the glyphs and traits – it’s going to be massive for PvP as well as WvW.

Also, Rangers currently have the potential to become the reason why ZerkMeta stays alive and all people might end up loving you.

I don’t see a single reason how can you guyz get disappointed! We already have all the offensive possibilities on live. This was what we needed for CC, Condi Clear, Defensive support.

We
Got
Everything
We asked of druid!

Come on! What’s wrong with you? If you want an offensive Ranger – you have access to it already. If you want any other one – you just got access to all of it with druid.

It’s true that no-one is forcing me to play Druid, but I want to play ranger while getting something new, which is something that add to my play-style AS AN OFFENSIVE RANGE CLASS.

I don’t want to add that healer role in my play-style because I HATE it…
Sigh.. Getting nothing new now since Druid will not be my type.

I think every other class got an elite that makes them stronger offensively, Rangers like always get the shaft, now weather we want it or not, we will not get in groups unless we are specced to heal, and now that’s all we will be able to do if we want to play as our rangers… we will be healbots and nothing but that.

Seriously, if you are running fractals 40+ and you include a ranger in the group, you gonna let that ranger DPS ? Or will you expect it to be healing like a good little ranger should be ?

Mark my words we will be nothing but main heals in every aspect of this game now.

LOL…

What better class could this have happened to than the one with no purpose or identity for 3 years. This is absolutely laughable.

I especially love the ’you’ll need a healer in HOT’ stuff. This game doesn’t need a ‘THE’ class at all. If you wanted to make healing important then expand the healing of some classes. You don’t make a ‘go healer or go home’ class.

Not sure what you are talking about.
Instead tipping #1 key mindless you are forced to play a skilled positioning game and use all of your skills to keep tanks alive.

This is the best thing ever and A-Net is right so to go back to the golden age of GW.

Like i said there are plenty of Japanese MMo’s out there right now where you have nothing else than a huge Great Sword and do nothing else than slamming it into stuff.
I can give you a list if you are interested. Gw2 may not be the best choice for you in future

I think all these people championing the “healbot” are thinking of how great there zerker’s will do with us protecting there lazy butts, so they are here campaigning away trying to convince the ranger community of how fantastic it will be for us to heal them all.

Don’t get too up in arms just yet. There’s still time to adjust once the beta weekend comes around.

Try out an all around celestial build and see if that works. Celestial stats have been a reasonable compromise between healing, survivability and damage for my elementalist.

You have two non-druid trait lines, two weapon slots, and healing power is the only stat used for healing, meaning two other stats open while still healing.

Celestial and zealot gear could be a good combination.

Seriously, this is what I’m afraid of. GW2 was supposed to avoid the situation where you’re stuck waiting for a healer. I liked that a lot.

I hope that doesn’t happen now.

And GLF experienced zerker is way better ??
People throwing you out because you are ranger or Necro is better ????

A-Net is absolutely right in stating that right now we are in a toxic meta that destroys the game.

Druid and Tank will totaly change the whole lazy game style…

Tragic, You must be ill-informed

As a ranger we were already given subpar dps because we have a pet – Necromancers got pet without the hit to dps

We used bows, dps got slapped to encourage melee combat, melee dmg will ALWAYS be higher

Our animations got tweaked and bugged for some of our melee weapons and now they dont work well.

and now they pigeon hole into a role which every other class is capable of doing in one way or another…

It shows that they didnt listen nor do they care

I was not expecting Druid to be as good as it is.

You’ve combined several features from many of my favourite games and concepts into my favourite class and made, without a doubt, the best elite specialization of Heart of Thorns.

I only just glanced at the Wyverns’ stats, seems equal to Drake stats. Auto attack doesn’t cleave, but attack power seems higher than the drake, so maybe a good alternative when you need single target but cats will still be too squishy (perhaps Raids).

Explain to me how the Condi cleansing works.

As it stands I want to be Marksman and Beastmaster with my third trait being druid so I wouldn’t have WS line.

One trait cleanses all condis when you swap into astral form (similar to necro shroud)
Your Staff #2 has like a 6 sec CD heal that cleanses condis in an AoE. A trait that spawns this passively
And a GM trait that reduces all condition damage to you and nearby allies by 33%.

Also, we are getting a 33% passive movement speed if we are not affected by movement impairing effects.

Pretty powerful for what you might happen to play.
