Guild Wars 2

I don’t really play ranger that much, but I decided today to take my level 22 into PvP. I took shortbow, sharpening stone, quickening zephyr, roots, bleed on crit trait, sharpneing stone trait, and rabid amulet.

I literally just root>sharp stone>quick zephyr>111111111111111111111111111111111111 and even the tankiest classes die pretty fast.

I’ve only done it in hotjoin, but there I am consistently one of the top players on my team, something I can’t always do with my more played professions.

Sure, I can face-roll melt people, but it’s just not satisfying. When I play something like Ele, I really feel that I have earned it when I kill someone 1v1. On ranger it’s almost boring. The combat is so one-dimensional.

I’m not saying there should be nerfs, I’m just saying that their power should be more evenly distributed across all skills so that I can’t kill someone just by auto-attacking.

So these fights that you are speaking about. Did your opponents not use any condi clear? Were they being attacked by other people? Why did you choose shortbow rather than say GS? You should take that same build into solo q or team q. Oh and your team q and or solo q rank must be higher than 500 to really judge your approach.

if your using that , combo that is the Swords + offhand set ups Burst and a lot of people misjudge that for a chain of Normal attacks.
the Piled up damage after applying , skill 3 poison+cripples and bleeds then Bursting.

all they have to do is break combat and condi clear to Reset the fight without even having to leave combat.
avoiding the Sword>qz burst is how you aim to beat a Sword ranger.

and for granted rangers are the kings of Ranged attacks while supporting themselfs with Sustainable Melee.

give some different builds a go that don’t Revlove around Quickness and you’ll see a Different side to Rangers.

In your description you actually mentations the use of elite and 2 out 3 utility skills. Somthing tells me you also used all of your weapns skills and the extra utility. So you used all of your tools to kill your opponent, gj welcome to gw2. SB bleeds builds always were like meny other “troll”, “one theme aspect” builds. very good vs noobs and pugs not so much vs decent players. saying that, having fun is somthing personal and the most important thing in a computer game, if you’r not having fun with your bleed build, change to somthing else(build or profession).

Hot join is useless for everything, don’t base anything off hot join.

So don’t play ranger…….

It’s pretty much this.

I often tell people when they choose this class that a lot of your time is spent with auto attack on strafing in circles around your opponent. You figured it out first hand. If you don’t enjoy it, it doesn’t get better.

Troll post…

sounds like you killed someone blowing all your cool downs, that did nothing (literally nothing) to resist and now you’re going to say this is how it always is.
