Guild Wars 2

I have always played Ranger type classes in every MMO. The bow mechanic is just something i like.

Im not going to type a wall of text here, just keep ti short and to the point….

The Ranger class was weak before the nerf "(the so-called animation glitch) we all know that was a lie, no one noticed any “glitches” it was a nerf.

Most of us held on to some hope from Jon Peters post that good thngs were headed the Rangers way…we got

..50% more damage underwater and some lame fluff we dont want/need.

Ranger class is broken, pets are beyond useless in PvP/WvW…We were lied to twice now, there wont be a third, damage is done.

GW2 isnt the only game on the planet, not even close.

Sure you can delete all these threads on this forum, but there are many many forums were the truth is spoken about games, you cant hide the truth.

Honestly alot of us feel like this game is a huge cash grab, well, no gems will be bought from me,

GL fellow Rangers that are staying in GW2, you will need it.

@the title
You don’t say. Thanks for stating the obvious.

agree, rangers are the worst, followed by necromancers. The only reason they have so many rangers in gw2 is that the ranger is the favored class of the bot.

Serious ranger players are few and far between. however, go into wvw and you see 1000 thieves/mesmers, followed by warriors, then guardians. few eles, few rangers, 2-3 necros.

I would say ranger then ele would be the two worst in the game. Necromancer i find a lot easier to play than both. With my necro i have tons of HP, plus the life force i can switch into with death shroud when healing is on CD and in a tight spot. Very high toughness is easily to get along with great condition damage.

I’m gonna roll me a war/thief -_- Yay!

I was really happy yesterday thinking…wow we are going to get some love.
Now I am just really sad. I love my ranger but….heavy sigh. And my second character is a necro. I just know how to pick winners…

The general consensus is that there are 3 bottom-tier class: ranger, elementalist and necromancer. Depending on your playstyle, any of these classes is the weakest.

Necro: tough as nails (kinda), can’t kill anything bigger than a rat.
Ele: as tough as a bubble. Touch it and it’ll die.
Ranger: yeah well you rangers know what’s wrong with it.

As a necro, I fell your frustration about this patch. We got nothing substantial as well. Just like you guys, we’re still waiting for that minion/pet AI to be working; not working well, just working.

Ranger and necro are my two favorite classes, they’re also my first and second characters.

I used to like bows a lot, but gave up half way and re-traited myself to greatsword ranger, and it seems I was right doing that.

The necro just sucked, all the way. As much as I wanted to play MM, I couldn’t bring myself to do it, the horrible AI simply made it an inferior build when compared to… well, anything.

The new patch makes me a sad panda.

seriously, have you done wvw lately? All i see are warriors, mesmers (friggen so many), and a trove of thieves. FRIGGEN SO MANY THIEVES. Next up are guardians, which I think is the most balanced class in gw2. I rarely see rangers unless i run across the bots at centaurs or just to the east of the northern most supply camps in the borderlands. Used to see rangers all over the place but they have been absent since the shortbow nerf. Necros, well, I see 1 necro for every 10 thief. Seriously. Anet really has their priorities mixed up. I just don’t get it.

I’m pretty impressed by the elementalist I run with and those that I face off against. They put up a lot of pressure compared to a ranger. In fact, most of my dungeon groups are successful because of one lovely healer elementalist. The elementalists in WvW cut swathes through opposing zergs with their AoEs (that’s not to speak for their 1v1 capabilities, of course).

I will agree, though, that you necromancers and us rangers are in the same boat – abet, we’re in the part of the ship that’s already underwater, you’re on the top deck hanging onto the handrails. <cue Titanic theme>

Sadly that build (which was a go to build for Elementalist) was greatly nerfed in the patch as well. You will see a lot less healing elementalist in the future, and those that keep at it will be severely limited for it.

As an ele who was looking at starting a Ranger alt I am very disappointed in this patch. And though I still hate all forms of quickness with a passion, I feel for you guys.

It seems to me that people who roll one bad class tend to roll them all. Obviouslh I’m not the only necro/ranger. At least I’ll never know what a “good” class is as long as I stick to those 2.
