"Leaked" patch notes for us rangers.
What are the chances of this actually being accurate? Is it from a somewhat reliable source or some random mook who has a secret “source” in their mothers’ friends’ dog?
If it is accurate… yay Maul buffs.
BOOO Healing Spring changes.
And a huge, massive, MASSIVE BOOOOO to Companion’s Defense. The best part of Companion’s Defense is that you can dodge an attack and at the same time your pet (who obviously isn’t going to dodge it) will get Protection to at least soften the blow. Now, the attack will most likely hit your pet long before your own dodge roll ends and Protection gets applied, so your pet will be taking full damage. It completely negates the pseudo-dodge benefit for pets.

Is this for the Sept. 17 patch or Oct. 1?
I’m not impressed, not by a long shot.
Where’s our pet, spirits improvements?
Where’s our damage mprovements?
-Another Dissapointment from Arena.net-.
All Garbage improvements, well except for Healing Spring at the least.
To Arena.net, keep us dead where we are, since you Intentionally like us this way.
Ranger class= Total Failure; Wasted and Worthless Design.
Ranger pet mechanics= Garbage mechanics.

Leaked, not official pathnotes, chill mate….
And if the class is so bad, why are you still posting here?

Are you new? I hope not
So in other word, Ranger class is ‘fine and dandy’
There is ‘no chill’, ranger class have over due bugs since game realease till this day, and u know what, they are intentionally continuouslly being ignored.
Keep this up and our class will stay akittens pitiful stage that it is.
That’s all it takes for Arena.net to continue in justifying our class being balanced and perfect where it is.
Where you here when the ranger community had a ‘face-off’ with a recent dev; Robert H., who stated that Ranger class was fine where it is?
Oh, you missed it than
(edited by Burnfall.9573)
they are probably official..we had this talk before and proved that they were official…Its just a nerf to Rangers,Maul wont help Power Builds and more active play,the nerf to conditions is affecting Rangers totally,we have no way in making power dmg,eles and mesmers will dominate again..Necros will stay strong and Warriors maybe they are gonna take their place as king of everything..
Last time patch notes leaked they turned out to be spot on.
And as for the maul buff. It makes me a very happy power ranger.
Pet improvement is in the base health increase they will receive. Spirits will receive the same. That portion was listed in the general section as it affects more than just rangers.
All player controlled minions. excluding Mesmer phantasm and clones because they were already increased in a previous patch, now have 71.43% more hit points in a PvE map.
Based on my conversation with Sharp at PAX, I’m pretty sure that this is most likely official.

Yes this totally this.
All duration stacking boons(Aegis, Fury, protection, Regeneration, Retaliation, Swiftness, and Vigor) and conditions(Blind, Burning, Chilled, Cripple, immobilze(now stacks duration), and Poison) now stack to a maximum of 5 times.
5 Stacks of Poison/Blind.

You didn’t quite get what that means.
It means that their duration stacks maximum of 5 times not intensity.

I’m personally wondering what that means. Maximum of 5 seconds? 5 increases? Is there now enforced downtime between applications? Is perma-uptime no longer possible?
So many questions on that particular line…

No, that is (in bubbles.) not part of the sentence.

Maul damage increase… yum yum.

While the ranger still has its bugs, you can still be useful. Especially in WvW where I spend most of my time. We can dish out a lot of damage and still stay alive depending on your weapons.
The one thing that annoys me most is, at least with canines, how easy their F2 skill can be interrupted. Just this morning I was trying to use my wolf’s fear while reviving a downed ally and the wolf kept walking forward and cancelling its howl. My ally died as a result. Fix that and the pathing and pets will be dandy imo.
Also, they need to release improvements slowly. Game development takes a lot of time and resources from so many departments and people. Stuff takes time.
Here’s a few that OP forgot to post
- All player controlled minions. excluding Mesmer phantasm and clones because they were already increased in a previous patch, now have 71.43% more hit points in a PvE map.
- Aoe spells with that have a maximum number of targets will now count combatants that block or evade the attack towards that maximum
- Made it a bit easier to retarget channeled skills (now if you try to recast them on a separate target, it will cancel your current instance of the skill and start casting it again on the other target)
If these are the only changes for the Oct. 1 patch, this is like putting a band-aid on a broken leg. I really think Anet has a major problem/issue attempting to fix our core profession mechanics.
LOL If this is legit all the more reason to re-roll or focus on other things.
