Guild Wars 2

Couple of possibilities,

1. Druid is average or sub-par – meh to be expected, back up plan: re-roll Herald

2. Druid is the best Espec, outshining everything else and adding a completely unique or desirable facet to Ranger gameplay – omfg new meta errybaddy roll Druid. Druid is now the new Guardian and we’re all just part of the same plebeian compost heap.

No. 2 is probably only an issue for me ’cos I like to play my outsider/hipster/dark horse profession

Uh.. You’re backing yourself into a logical corner dude!

You just said you wont be happy if druid is bad, average, or great… What exactly do you want?

I know, that’s why I can’t win!

But it’s for my own silly reasons lel.

As you can tell the wait for Druid is affecting me psychologically

@Bryzy

I’m not sure if you are the fan but reading Guild Wars books is what helped me get over the druid wait-fest.

I actually went to the gym with a friend who’s a bodybuilder today (funnily enough he’s also a gamer) to try and pass the time in a different way.

Squatting is harder than it looks

I also tried a protein shake and I’ve been passing some reeaal nasty gas ever since.

Apparently we’re doing chest and triceps tomorrow. I thought triceps were dinosaurs…

Ranger has such a terrible reputation in GW2 it’s crazy. People just viscerally hate the class for whatever reason. If Ranger is bad, they complain the Ranger is so bad and has no place in GW2. If the Ranger is good, they complain that the Ranger shouldn’t be good, and that it’s proper place is to be bad.

Hopefully you’ll lose by reason #2

This is what I’m scared of.

So let’s say Irenio takes to heart all the crap that Rangers have had to put up with, and genuinely goes to town on the Druid and makes it powerful, perhaps a little too powerful compared with the other elites.

While adjustments would be warranted, everyone else would QQ like crazy (and you can lay a bet it would be the elites like ele and warrior shouting loudest) and we will be over-nerfed. It will then stay like that despite our reasonable calls for change until the next E-spec reveal.

I have to agree with how little actual dev attention we attract.
How long have we truly gone without a word/patch/fix at times. Meanwhile on the dev tracker they are constantly in other class threads just hanging out or its the class they play.

I would rather have more attention from devs before they declare anything OP. They need to really understand where the Ranger is.

So long as they don’t nerf what ranger already has, I’m cool with whatever.

Also, wyvern pets! Don’t even try and tell me it’s not a wyvern. I wanna believe!

ranger would become interesting if HoT brings a pet revamp, i.e. better f2’s on many pets, another active pet skill, and 90% aoe damage reduction in WvW/PVE

Pet is currently our true and only anchor in this game. We have the DPS to compete in PvE (but it doesn’t scale unless you go for NM – which is a shame for BM enthusiasts) and we might have been excellent skirmishers if our pets didn’t miss 80% of the attacks due to movement.

I mean, there already is like a hundred of (ignored) solutions.

I need to stop clicking on ambiguous thread titles…
