Guild Wars 2

I don’t feel like I’m imagining this; my pets do not seem to be responding as quickly after swapping, and some f2 abilities seem to be activating even less reliably than before.

Is anybody else having this issue?

Really, I find my pet moves quickly to anything I happen to tab target half way accross the map and not at all interesting, then takes 20 seconds to run back at whatever else I have targetted. Was killing Skritt’s in JQ Bg to complete my daily last night… I’m surrounded by 3 skritts all attacking me in AoE range, my pet goes after #4 just on the inside of clip range on tab target.

Everything is working peachy.

The Jaguar’s F2 skill (stealth) was pretty unreliable today. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn’t. I didn’t notice any problems with the Jaguar before, so this might be an issue with the new patch.

Noticed this as well. Perhaps the only F2 skill that has [almost] always been very reliable to activate, now it seems to be just as unresponsive as all the other pets F2 skills, from time to time.
In general, I find myself struggling a lot more with F2 skills now than what was the case some days ago.

But what the h… devs don’t even come to this part of the forum anymore

Same here. Noticed it after patch.

The issue for me has been mostly with F2 activation, but pets seem to be slower than before at re-targeting revealed enemies as well.

I dunno if it’s just been F2 with me, I’m no ranger hater but something is difficulty not feeling right. It was like my hawk had hit its head or something, I kept thinking, where the hell is my pet, why is my pet not attacking.

I kept checking to see if attack or passive was on when a thief was attacking me in sPVP

My pet stands there. It doesn’t do any damage and until I switch I am being turned into a puddle of mush by single characters who I’d normally be at least escaping.

They really blew this patch – Ranger isn’t supposed to kitten out to the point of not even being able to use the pets at all.

anet, you are pushing players over the edge on this issue – Rangers need attention soon or you will start seeing a precipitous drop in players eventually

- We really want a good Ranger – not this mess that can’t take down anyone 1v1 in spvp and even in a support role (?) we are taken down even if our health pool is over 20k (!), locked, rooted, and then melted by over 100 hits from 1 to 3 players and f2 isn’t working at ALL (at times upwards towards 120 or more hits!).

I’ve got more screenshots than you would have time to look at… this is insanity. We paid for a game that we were told would have “awesome pets” and we get kittens. No kittens would do more damage and would at least move towards the something what was wiggling in front of them…

Get this fixed!

—Ranger doesn’t deserve to be ignored, or worse, damaged like this from a patch.

Those of you who “haven’t had that issue” go into pvp… just try.

Get to level 20+ in pvp and tell me it works well. I double dog dare you. ‘Cause guys, this ain’t workin’ well at all!

Pet issues aside, of which there are many, I’m not sure what class you’re playing because I’m awesome in 1v1 sPVP.

The most recent update following the big 28th patch seems to have either partially resolved the problem indirectly or a hotfix was implemented that was not mentioned. The pet still seems a bit laggier than before the 28th when it comes to F2 but seems to be doing regular actions a bit better. How’s everybody else?

Yes, I just tested it, pretty sure about it. pet AI is back to before. Canine won’t do knock down anymore right after swip, and even cat can barely hit anything moving now(AGAIN!!!!)
So bad, BM build seems died again.
I hate this kind of ninja nerf. I think Anet has totally lost reputation , at least for rangers.

You can say anything you want to in a forum but not many are going to believe you when they know that they are having the same issues as the rest of us.

So you are great? You’re great after the nerf (and it WAS a nerf)?

If so, let’s see some video of your spvp hotjoins and then show is the spec… otherwise, really, you’re just one who just wants to be above everyone else and say “hey they don’t know how to play/spec/monitor the character” wrong, very very wrong.

What the hell are you talking about? We’re a very strong class 1v1. Seriously, we’re very strong 1v1 as many other rangers here would tell you, if you’re not able to stand up to most classes 1v1 with a ranger you’re running a bad build, both our trap and bunker builds are very effective 1v1.

…sorry, I’m giggling a little inside that you tried to somehow “shame” me because you’re bad. 1v1 is one of the few areas rangers don’t have trouble.

Your baddness aside, after playing sPVP all night last night as well as some WvW there is definitely something not right with my pet.

Lol, no, coz Ranger population is extremely low. And most of them will prefer to roll anorher class better range-DPSer: Elem, warrior even a thief ^^

Look at the Engineers – Engi was always less popular class in the every game aspect but they are continue to nerf Engis ))))

+1 to this..

Ive been running a bunker build for TPvP and ever since i found a few life saving traits 1v1 is not a problem for me. i can 1v1 guard and ele with ease.. ele’s i cant kill but they cant kill me either(we have some epic fights tho) guards i always win by out lasting them.. and well placed burst.. thieves cant insta gib me anymore.. so i recommend changing up your build if your having trouble 1v1

1vs1 not against every player and this kind of fights means nothing in the main part of the game: WvWvW

“We’re not able to kill anyone 1v1 even support builds” is either a total lie or the player is bad and also has nothing to do with if the pet AI has changed after the patch.

Blatant whining, which is what that was, doesn’t help our cause, it hinders it.

Thought it was just me, I thought the mobs suddenly gained a kitten load of health and toughness or something because it was taking my ranger a lot longer to kill stuff, pets were like not doing anything at all.

I’ve also noticed (not sure if it’s always been this way) that even with a salad wolf set to avoid combat, if I use F2 for the healing it will then go and attack anyway. There doesn’t seem to be a designation between offensive and support abilities.

I’m a very good Ranger, on my Ranger as a main toon, but I have never died 1v1 to a Ranger with any of my 5 80s. I havn’t even lost to another Ranger, on my Ranger. I run primarily solo in WvW.

I’m not sure I’d call the class good at one vs one, just stronger than it is when in a group because of what other classes also bring to groups.

OH, and the nerfed state of sPvP, you know the illusion of balance, “so that you can easier deal with the game” isn’t WvW, where you’re not only fighting other players, but often dealing with siege, which can hit as high as 4,000 in one hit. That’s where classes shine, or die honestly.

Every time I run sPvP, it is a boring bunker vs bunker, low damage, long drawn out boring fights, that if people were really good, the fight would never end. I’m always accused of hacking when I sPvP. hah!!

On my new Mesmer at 75 the other night I fought a 80 Thief to a draw, after a five minute fight, and get this. The entire time we were fighting in front of the tower, I was dodging an uplevel who was raining an Arrow Cart on top of me. sPvP…. lol……

I’d be more than happy to duel you on any of my classes in world vs world, if you honestly think there are no issues with the Ranger, and think they are truly strong in a one vs one situation.

Send me a PM.

If you do think there are issues with Rangers, and that things need to be fixed, join in on this thread…

… and add your own feedback instead of chest thumping you’re the best player in the world, and if you can be good on a Ranger, they’re fine. So either back up your forum warrior nonsense, or be more productive, and help us get this class fixed.
