Currently whole meta is evolving around burst/bunker issue. As ranger is neither, the class (and the whole concept) of sustained damage dealer is completely ignored. Game is completely hijacked by guardians and mesmers. You can meet some rangers during first tournament game, less of them in the second phase.

If you manage to get to the final your opponents will be teams with no rangers, no warriors, occasional ele or necro, plenty of engineers, tons of mesmers and HORDE of guardians.

And if you do see a ranger instead of mesmer in opposing team it always brings some relief: your team might actually win despite having only 1 guardian…

But according to Mr. Peters ‘balance is pretty good’.

Arena Net: I can understand your ‘short steps’ policy on class changes, but I do not intend to wait till next year to see rangers buffed in pvp, moa transformation and mesmer teleport nerfed and guardians brought in line with other classes.

Balance. Really, balance is pretty good.

I don’t even have to add that those rangers who play tournaments with some success all run the same build: short bow with quickness.

Damage is mediocre, team utility is NONE and your pet (which was the reason of post-beta damage nerfs) does not hit moving targets.

Balance. Really, balance is pretty good.
