Guild Wars 2

I haven’t played in months. I quit because I frustrated with how much they changed this class from the original version.

Did they ever fix this class to where it’s actually good? Like being able to effectively use bows and not depend on your pets buggy AI so much? Are the trait trees any better or are they just more useless skills scatter about?

Can this class do decent damage now or is it still a hit and run class (like shoot and arrow and hit someone then run for your life)?

I think you’ve confused Ranger with Archer.

Ranger could always do decent damage, people just weren’t/aren’t playing it right.

They buffed Spotter and Spirits a little, and some of the new GM traits made survival skill heavy builds viable for PvP. Also longbow has a stealth move on it now. Also, pets are typically more responsive now though, needs some further work.

Additionally, since Death and Taxes analysed the class and proved once and for all that it’s DPS is comparable to warriors, and the buffs to spotter/spirits, they’ve begun to appear in dungeon speed run teams; whereas 6 months ago speed runners would advertise “NO RANGERS”
