I am bothered that the bugs that are fixed either provide no real benefit or are nerfs to ranger while buffs from bug fixes are left out.

Case point : Light on Your Feet (2 bugs)

1) Duration is 3s (not 4s) – Unfixed
2) Condi duration 100% (not 10%) – Fixed

Clearly a dev made the effort to change this trait but in that same time failed to change the buff duration. It is an integer value change that would be seconds of additional time once the dev who fixed the other bug with this trait finished with the first value.

But maybe it takes a long time because of testing etc?

Case Point 2 : Healing Spring

Patch broke the skill in a way that would be obvious to a playtester so testing isn’t done or is done poorly.

It’s a sad time when ranger is looking at a balance batch worth of bugfix buffs because anet only bugfixes things that help ranger.

Tldr – Stop fixing only bugs that help ranger.

Tell the Devs to stop listening only Backpack/Abjured and high-tier PVP teams then… They’re trying so hard to make PVP in this game Esports that they will do backflips for the few “pro” pvpers. It’s embarrassing.

Another example: Pet’s taunt being unavoidable was fixed ASAP whereas pets’ missing baseline stat increase was not. Hasn’t even been acknowledged

There are many bugs in WvW and PvE modes that don’t work to this day on Ranger and all other profs… so you’re dead on, they selectively choosing which bugs to fix and which to ignore – some since day 1.

Ranger f2 still doesn’t work.

Sorry if Rangers post a lot about issues, but it matters in WvW especially – PvE I am HALF what I was before this patch.

Should tell you something when many of us can’t find a build and what we do have, a quarter or more of which isn’t working.

Posting bugs in the official bug forum gets you crickets unless it garners a bazillion 1+s.

Even then, most are “we’re looking at the issue” and we never hear back from them ever again.
