Guild Wars 2

The class balance discussion promoted clarity with most of the class specific topics except for the discussion that took place between Java and Sharp/Peters when talking about rangers, so I’m just looking for some clarification.

Are the devs saying that ranger as a whole is strong, or that specifically traps are the strongest option rangers bring to the table in PvP which creates the Apex Predator scenario that was discussed.

Personally, I am hoping for the latter of the two options, because that would imply to me that the devs are aware of some of rangers more lackluster options in terms of PvP; an awareness which is especially important when the trap build itself is countered entirely by a mix of condition removal and good positioning.

Overall, good state of the game, although it is disappointing to here that the February patch will contain a focus more towards features than towards balancing aspects of the game. Still, I hope to see some sort of improvements along with the February patch, as does much of the competitive community and overall community as a whole.

Utter disappointment as usual tbh. If anything I was looking forward to the aoe nerf this month. Nerfing wells, traps, mind wrack, d/d ele, wells, and the warrior gs spin move would literally fix the entire game.
