Guild Wars 2

Hi fellow rangers,

I have a question if anyone also noticed a decrease of rapd fire and auto attack damage after the last big patch last week? I dont mean the patch from 23. June. Before I did in full zerker at the heavy golem close to 8-10k damage, now I barely reach 6k. Same reach and runes etc. I was rather surprised.

Thx for the feedback

I have noticed that my dmg has dropped aswell dont know wht though and its acually about the same ammount and I havent seen any dmg decrease in notes so i have been wondering that aswell what happened to my dmg i used do be able 2 do a 28k rapid fire in wvw vs champs now its about 18-20k

We lost,
a +10% damage modifier from Hunter’s Tactics trait (turned into crit chance)
a +5% damage modifier from former trait Eagle’s Eye
6% critical damage via ferocity stat loss

Did any other class lose this much? :\

And we lost the 5% vitality converted into power trait
Which added a decent amount of damage for only using 2 points in the vitality tree

This was replaced with 7% healing power converted to power

It does feel a bit weaker but I think the longbow damage is still okay. The real issue is our poor greatsword damage. 3-4k maul on light armor? really bad.

Healing power to power is such a kittened change. If anything, that should be in the yet-to-be-revealed druid tree. Christ… who did they leave in charge of these class changes?

The cleaning lady was in charge of ranger, obviously.

She is also the one that is supposed to be reading these forums for feedback.

well since we get no stats from trait lines. 7% healing into power yields nothing on a zerk build. Test it out turn if off and no. 0 extra power

yet on warrior in the defense tree Armored attack 10% toughness turned into power. This gives you extra power even when you are fully zerk.

I’d like to welcome you all back to the Condition Build A/T + SB ranger spec! That spec seems to be doing way more damage in single point DPS then the GS LB does now. Feels odd to say that.

Was the healing power thing maybe… a mistake? It’s just SO out of place.

The only place it kind of fits is in a celestial setup. Unfortunately, I really don’t know how to make celestial work well on ranger. Might stacking is not easy to do like an ele or engi, our power weapons hit like a wet noodle without zerker amulet and our condi weapons do almost no power damage at all. Maybe the remorseless cavalier build is the only build that can use this minor. For everyone else it literally adds 0 value.

Funny thing is that the whole trait revamp was done to remove traits that the devs felt added 0 value and were never picked.
