Guild Wars 2

Since there is a Ranger update due out, how about a glass canon high burst build? A sniper type build that could include rifles.

Well you can make glass cannon shortbow/longbow rangers now so…?

And why would be given an extra weaponset?

How is this Mechanic Rework?
Just another person who wants a rife. Sorry but the devs have said they do not like the idea of Rangers with Rifles(this was long ago, back in development though). For a Ranger the Longbow should be what you think about doing big damage at range with…sadly the way the Longbow was integrated it just doesn’t give that feel. Hopefully yes, one day we will… but the fact that the Ranger as a whole deals less damage w/o a pet, a truly long range option(assuming your pet is next to you) is at its core, less effective.

Our profession mechanic is pets….

Why are you talking about rifles….?

If you are trying to say that you want rangers to be able to make glass canon burst builds that are just as effective as other classes, I agree, even though this has nothing to do with our profession mechanic.

Why limit the Ranger to the bow? There is a meh burst build available but it does have everything to do with the mechanic if you break it down. Why should the thief and others get guns and we don’t?

Because gun are tech and Devs have already stated they don’t want a character skilled in the use of Nature and one with Animals to be using tech. Lore my friend, Lore. It doesn’t change. It has nothing to do about Rangers hating the rifle… it has to do with Ranger lore being anti rifle. On that same note, how is “I want a rifle” not Longbow hate? Unless of course you simply want the aesthetics of a Rifle.. in which case this is a entirely different post altogether.

Edit: It isn’t hate to point out this thread was clearly wrongly named out of ignorance or deception. On top of that you quoted a guy who agreed with your main point of “we want a burst” and called it hate further aiding the fact this was a thread about getting a rifle above all else.

I do agree with you in everything, but the make longbow more powerful then rifle, should we the best non caster ranged dps? as far as i know warrior rifle has bore burst the ranger LB and IMHO this is like a whole bunch of cat babies
