I think you’re missing the point. Class balance isn’t about giving one class a buff just because they received a nerf last patch.

It doesn’t matter what other classes have.

It doesn’t matter how many buffs/nerfs you received last patch.

If something is not balanced it should be fixed because it needs to be balanced, not because you think it’s fair or unfair that your class got x number of nerfs last patch.

The devs said in BETA that the ranger utilities needed work and that they were still missing 3 (turned out to be the shouts). We got the 3 missing utilities and they have continued to say Ranger utilities need work without doing anything about it yet.

You seem to be suggesting Rangers are fine and shouldn’t be balanced ‘just because’. What I’m saying, the devs have said, and everyone else is saying too, is that Rangers NEED WORK and have since launch. They haven’t gotten it yet and people are starting to feel like it’s never going to happen.

The first meaningful buffs to happen to ranger since beta (25% move signet, arrow speed, and pets hitting moving targets) can all be construed as a general game fix because every last one of them effects several other professions. It’s just a reasonable to assume that they were trying to fix a different profession that had the same problems and decided “Well, we have to give rangers the same” as it is to assume they were trying to fix rangers and other professions just benefit from it.

tl;dr Again, Rangers are NOT balanced. They have a lot of problems in utilities, traits, and pet mechanics. They aren’t “horribly broken” but even the devs have said the ranger needs the most work. The problems aren’t going to get fixed with multi-profession buffs/fixes because many of the problems are ranger specific so they need ranger specific fixes.

Ugh, seriously? Did you really read my post? I’m not saying rangers are fine and I never did say that. I know that’s an easy assumption since it’s easier to categorize people as either QQ whining brats or fanboys, but please take a second for some critical thinking.

No, I don’t think that rangers are “fine” and no I’m not oblivious to the issues of the class. What I am saying is that just because we have issues doesn’t mean we are justified crying for buffs on any or every aspect of the class just because we see something another class can do well and assume that we should be able to do the same exact thing just as well.

Fix what’s broken/overtuned/undertuned because it needs to be fixed not because “OMFG LOOK WHAT THEY CAN DO I SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO IT TOO!!!”

Am I the only one who’s glad about this? All the 10% speed boost signets were awful.

Also, zooming around the map with a 25% boost is huge improvement in getting from point A to point B.

That phrase defeats its purpose as there is no grass to be less green on the rangers side…

…the present day ranger is a wasteland.
Doesn’t mean there can’t be no people to favour a wasteland, though
