Guild Wars 2

It looks like the Ranger CDI was a big Fail.

Two of the major ponits i can remember in the CDI have been: Pets which are still useless in most cases and the the Sword.
So what did we get from the CDI?

Pets are still broken.

Sword is still useless in in WvW and a safe way to kill yourself.

Shouts provide nothing to a party but to a useless perma dead Pet in WvW, and in PvP no one especially enemy’s do care about Ranger Pet’s.
There have been so many good ideas for pets, an alternative weapon for mele main hand aso. but nothing changed in the core. All we got was a pew pew pew build with more bursty feeling but not more dmg at all.

Look at the Twich Steram of DPS today, it was like a smack in the face, as if we do not get enough smacks in the face in WvW from any Commander and Guild actively NOT wanting Rangers in their Raids. Same in Dungeons and in PvP. So Rangers are only Playable in open world content until the waves of tequa kill your Pets.

I have read about a dev. complaining about the bad vibes she or he received because of the bad feedback they received during the announcement of the preorder debacle.
One twitter post was like: “Today i just don’t want to go online anymore”
For you it was one bad day, for us Rangers that’s how we feel in WvW since day one.

Mate i totally agree with every single words you wrote. As i had the chance to mention in some past posts..ranger is a cursed class.
We have two options : rerolling another class or quitting the game.
I love gw2 but I don’ t want to spend 50$ just to run always in the same issues regarding rangers….being kicked by dungeons..not accepted by competite guilds in wvw…and being called ^^ Aids^^ or cancer by popular Gw2 streamers..
3 years after day one and we still are here complaining… This must end soon in a good way ( fixing ranger and giving it some love ) or in a bad way ( quitting )

wanna try it out first before crying? necros are all up in arms over there, yet Nos managed to crush all of Chaith’s engie builds 25-2 or something.

Yes, because 1. Chaithh had a lot more builds to try out and experiment with which he hadn’t optimized yet while Nos basically stuck to his normal condimancer
2. An equally skilled engi vs an equally skilled condi necro means the engi will almost always lose since a condimancer is an engis natural counter.
3. Chaithh afterwards said that he was able to beat Nos’ power necro but not his condimancer which is normal.

Pro 1v1 duels aren’t an accurate representation of the class balance. There’s a reason why engi subforums are ecstatic while necros have grabbed their scythes and pitchforks.

The OP may have a valid reason to complain in the end but we’ll know after tomorrow.

youre rationalizing a moot point. all im saying is: wait and see because what is apparent now on paper is likely not the entire picture in practice. all the whiners need to try everything out and spend at least a few dozen hours testing builds before condemning development efforts as utter fail.

OP, therefore, may not have a valid reason to complain because he hasn’t tested anything out.

What is this, yesteryear? CDI was forever ago, how is this relevant?

It is not. Just like people whining about the description of a Ranger ANet provided 5 years ago and arguing it is not identical to that.

They added actual hp numbers on pet health bar coz of the CDI. I’m still trying to push for adding conditions/boons on the pet UI.

That is exactly the Point!

The CDI was ages ago and there where thees main Point on which we complained in the Forums but all we got was a bursty LB which is now a viable Weapon for a class which is not viable.
I had a lot of hope that there will be some major changes to the real Problems we have got with our class, but they do care so less about rangers that they did not even try to find someone who at least plays (did not have to main it) a ranger for the stream yesterday. To be honest i have the strange feeling that those who messed up the ranger will do no good with the Dudu. I mean what dose the Dudu change at all, we don’t even know that i know, but the rangers ongoing problems are not solved so the Dudu will be a topping to a class which still is broken, and thats why i thing the CDI was finaly a Fail.
If u are honest to yourself you would have to agree that all we have got where some little qol changes for the ranger, but at the same time they are killing right now the spirit Ranger and the trapper ranger.

Compare it to the Necromancers, they got ground targeting Wells we lost this for our traps, their minion army still can follow the necro after casting them, our spirits can’t.

There is so less utility for Rangers and their 7-0 skills.
Shouts are crap STILL NO CHANGE AFTER YEARS
traps seem to have meh dmg
spirits are amazing crap now
So we only have signets and WS skills left, both delivering no utility or not good enough utility to a party.

Since the patch is about to be released sometime today … how about you wait and see how things settle with these changes and then continue this discussion from there?

Seems more logical to me.

Well now the patch is out and look at the ranger forum, everyone is complaining.

Spirits, pets, traps, rapid fire dmg aso.

So here we are again.

Honestly? YA, no game breaker bugs. like a mounth ago thives couldnt get into stealth for like a week, that was a big deal. HS not trigering trapper rune is annoying but not game breaking.

I’m not complaining when my wolf does 7k leaps and brutal charges.
