RIP in peace Robert
Communication is the greatest gift the world of today can offer us.
So why do we choose to ignore it?

Yeah especially when you consider that their were no fixes on last patch. I really think after the patch they recognised : “Hell ranger community is going enraged, we have to do something against this”. 2 days later they sent Jon Peters to give a statement. Stave us off with the reason that changes would have been “game breaking”. 3 Days later he fixed 2 bugs on one day. And 2 weeks later there are just 16 fixes on ranger class and 30 for engineers?
Jon seems to work on his own…srsly.
First of all:
-I hate the fact that Pets are 2/3 of our damage and we cannot control them…Hell even a simple “stay” gestures have to be traited. WTF?! In addition they cannot hit and move at one time.
- Sigils and general utility skill traits have too long cooldowns. Mesmers complaining if they have a CD of 60 sec on their portal. We have 60+ sec. and even 120 are common for us.
- Interrupting the resurrection of enemies is a pain for me. We have to use 2h weapons to interrupt somebody. Due to the fact that only viable build I found is based on axe/xx combo I am no help for a team because I am also a worse roamer compared to thiefs, warriors etc.
- Spamming “1” on Shortbow…the whole bow have to be rebuild. How I handle with the shortbow you ask?: “Zephir, 1,1,1,1,2,4,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,2,4,…” Uh yeah sometimes also 3 or 5. Also that we only cast condition damage while flanking is not the best idea, simply because it never works in spvp when you akittengeted. And then you have to rely on the stupid low damage outpet and your useless pet which is just chasing after the enemy but not attacking him.
- Down mode is also broken. It happened so often that I am in a downed fight: Call my Pet to rezz me (3) but it does not! Also our second skill is nearly subpar to other profession (except guardians but they have also to deal with total useless elite skills). Engenieers and Warriors can be rezzed easily due to their elixier or “3” skill (warrior). Mesmers, Thiefs can teleport in which case also stability stomping will not help. Elementalist can defend a point even in downed state because of their “cloud”-skill. We have a interrupt skill which can be easily be leveraged. And our pet heal is not reliable and except for underwater fights (I hate Capricorn) also useless. Man a warrior can finish you in an instant and when he goes down and you are not fast enough he stands up finish you and stays alive?! WTF! In addition he makes 10 times more ranged damaged than, oh how is that class called?!, Yes RANGERS
.
- Entangle would be a powerfull elite for condition rangers but it is completlely broken. I mean its useless against Mesmers and Thiefs because they can teleport. And if the opponent uses stability the roots do not even attack him. And then I have used a 120 sec cd skill for nothing. So in the end I HAVE to use “Rampage as one” just for stability and more pet damage (oh wait haha).
And there would be much more to do… even with fixes on utility skills you could spend 16 points of fixing.
I mean general damage of short distance weapons is a mess. I use the same armor like a thief (but a little bit more HP), so for a glass canon 7-11k damage in1-2 hits is not a problem. So their is a risk when I go in a 1 on 1 with a warrior or thief. Due to that I want either more life to sustain more than 3-4 hits from a rouge/warrior or more damage. How it is for now this is simply not possible and so I am limited to medium/long-range condition damage builds.
In BWE no one could play his class well and they complained about gs damage of the ranger because they were bumped blined into fights. 2 big nerfs came…Now we have some really capable players and I think increasing damage of the gs and also the sword is mandatory.
I mean the damage of the condition damage builds is good. No changes are needed but I feel very limited to my build. I tried a burst damage build but its not even close to the cd one :-/. Also I am not support for my group. I am not better in roaming than thiefes, mesmers, warriors etc. (why the heck has the ranger only 1 speed buff? And a 10% on a sigil? Has ever anyone noticed these 10%? Even swapping to gs pressing 3 and going back to my general axe/torch combo is more useful to me). We are not better node defenders compared to guardians, necros or engis. And also in damage or support we are just subpar compared to other classes. We die easily, cannot stability stomp (oh yeah the elite makes it possible) or stealth rezz and in PVE our pet always do some stupid stuff because we cannot put it into the bag while in combat.
He: “Who pulled that group….kitten?”
Me: “Sorry my Pet got aggro”
He: “Grml…(noob)”
Sorry for my bad english I am not a native speaker
Hope that i am wrong with the upcoming patch but I have the feeling that 16 bullets are way not enough to fix this class.
