Guild Wars 2

Been solo roaming on druid for a couple years and its just gotten to the point where I am fighting passive bunker traits/skills and the downed state more then I am fighting players. It honestly feels like pve.

I’ve switched over to herald glass hammer. Its more glass than my current druid (condi longbow) but it is maybe 4x more rewarding. As it lacks the loadout for survivability I am running with [STRM] now wrather than soloing it.

IMO, a better longbow/“archer”.

Condi longbow… yeah I’d probably give up on ranger too if I played that

I assume that’s a typo. :P

Same, I’ve been playing the same Herald build. It’s just non brainer.

Just look at this simple thing… When you have Might fartingboonutilityskill + Shared Empowerment, you have a portable, moving and usefull Frost Spirit. Perma Might ! Yasss bois !

Perma nonboon -50%Vigor (Vigourous Persistence) ? Perma Swiftness ? Perma Fury ? Why not ANet !

Oh, but perma Fury is not enough, lets put some traits about Ferocity and more traits that buff Fury even more ! 100 crit chance with full berserk set ? Ah, easy.

Mind blowing. Meanwhile, buffnonbuff/nerf to Axe bouncing and lolbuff to Warhorn.

Misspoken ;-)

Ranger for ~1 year, druid for ~1year.

This isn’t strictly a Ranger/Druid problem. Everyone is just innately tanky now and the skill floor is abysmally low.

I still play core Ranger and Necromancer in WvW both small scale/solo and zerging and do just fine against most players, although it is definitely an uphill battle.

Personally, I find it more rewarding to beat players when I’m at a disadvantage. But there are many, many times where I also hate losing based on the build I’m fighting and not based on my skill. For example; I was fighting this Dragonhunter a few days ago who was trying to LOS me (as if he didn’t have enough of an advantage to begin with) and I wound up sending him some hatemail because I was frustrated that he was trying to cheese me when he really didn’t need to. It was my own stupidity for being stubborn but sometimes people just amaze me at how easy they want their wins to be.

Everyone’s different though so just because I can’t relate to it doesn’t mean it’s wrong.

Sorry that you’re feeling how you are. I gave up on my Necro for quite some time because I felt I was at way too much of a disadvantage without Reaper until I put a build together that has been working really well. So I can understand how it sometimes feels like the class you’re playing isn’t worth it anymore.

Honestly though, small scale stuff in WvW just isn’t what it used to be and that’s all there is to it. Everything is either insta-gib or so stupidly hard to kill it’s boring.

Adrenal health double endure pain berserkers have pretty much made me stop roaming. What is the point? It’s not fun for anyone involved.

Yep. Let’s take the profession with the lowest skill requirement, and then buff it’s damage and survivability more. Next patch is going to double the healing from Healing Signet and add a new feature for warriors that will play the game for them at the click of a button
