Stop by anytime, I’m going to try to consistently stream whenever I play Ranger and will have a schedule of when to expect me live.
I’ve linked a bunch of other ranger streams in my info and all of my builds.
This isn’t meant to be “super serious,” I just wanted to try streaming and having some fun with it, so stop by, I’ll be playing PvP and WvW.
Feedback or anything would be appreciated: http://www.twitch.tv/itsjroh
If there are any other streamers that main streamer and aren’t Gladomer, let me know so I can check out their streams and see if I can add them to my list. I don’t have Glad added because he’s already a popular streamer and I don’t feel any desire to really promote him because of that, and also he multiclasses on stream often enough that I wouldn’t add him under the ranger section anyhow.
Edit: Going live again tonight with a few suggestions for stream quality and gameplay being tested. Time is going to be around 8 EST.

Aren’t there any alternatives to twitch, since twitch sucks kitten with lots of skipping and lag, at least for many ppl here in europe?
I can do some research on them and see. I mean, I gravitated towards twitch because it’s the most popular and has the biggest backing, but I can see what’s out there.
I’m also considering setting up other media, aka, doing youtube videos of spliced together action from the streams to eliminate the boring parts and then potentially dubbing over the sound with gameplay breakdown, but that will take me a bit of time to figure out, especially since I just now got around to figuring out how to configure my stream and built up the confidence to “just do it” so to speak lol.
Something to note: I do have it set so that when I alt tab, the screen “freezes” so that I can keep some sort of privacy and protection against personal information I might accidentally show in passing and things like that, but that should clear itself up once I start doing facecams so that you can see it’s just my settings for my stream on my end and it doesn’t look like it’s freezing on your end at those moments AS WELL AS any additional streaming issues there is on Europe.
That REALLY is sad to here though, sorry that it’s like that in Europe, it must be frustrating as hell (it would annoy the hell out of me since when I’m living on campus all I have for tv is youtube/twitch).
There are a few things other then twitch. In fact YouTube has streaming! As does steam.
Alright, my first official stream is going to be live for about an hour until True Detective. It won’t be anything special, just me playing stronghold and talking ranger and the game with anybody that stops by.
I watched it ;-)
I like your game. You don’t get trapped into bloodlust and work the map much.
I see you using hydromancer sigil on gs. Its may be aoe and potential 2k crit but if it misses it misses and if you try a stealth maul it insta reveals you on swap to gs giving reaction time. I think you would be better served using leeching sigil instead. I’m hydromancer/geomancer(lols) gs atm but I’m thinking of going leeching/energy. Not sure yet. Thoughts?
longbow air/fire? something else? I’m thinking of trying 7%cc and air or 5%dmg. I don’t know yet. I’m my opinion people arnt as fast to dodge rapidfire if they don’t see big booming fire explosion.
edit: oh I see your build listed. I assume that’s german cause its almost readable ;-)
Humor me and try leeching instead of hydro and 7%cc or 5%dmg instead of fire and tell me if you get better response ;-)
(edited by Justine.6351)
Hahaha thanks Justine! The build reader must have defaulted to german, sorry. You can switch it on the site with the little flags on the upper left to english and other languages
I can go ahead and run those alternatives, no problem, but I can give you some thought processes about my selections:
But I’ll definitely mess around with those options the next time I’m playing!
Right now I’m supposed to be up in 4.5 hours to go to the amusement park with the fiance though lol so 8/11 isn’t just the next stream day, its also the next time I’ll get to play again haha.
Couldn’t watch the stream mate, do you have archives on?
Because of the nerf to fire sigil, It think blood actually does very close to the same damage now on heavy targets and you also get the heal.
If you do the math and watch how it happens in-game, the on-crit sigils are always better in PvP with RF, assuming you are marauder/zerk/sin amulet.
Hahaha here’s the link: http://www.twitch.tv/itsjroh/v/10322608
I hope it wasn’t too terrible for my first stream! First game starts around 9 minutes
I think I wasn’t articulating well and that I was a bit shy about the volume of my voice, but those are things I’ll have to work on as I stream more lol.
That or actually, I probably needed to just turn game sound down since that’s probably just the sound of my voice lol. I’ll clear that up on Tuesday hahaha.
Try playing in windowed fullscreen so the game does not freeze when you tab out. (Assuming you use OBS and have the game window captured)
stream was good. I get aoe chill factor from hydromancy. I actually see that as more offensive tool and I do love fire sigil procing on stealthed players. Ive been trying to keep my flashy low key lately. It draws less “kill that effing ranger” rage I think. Ofcoarse having 2 big glowy legendaries kinda doesn’t help you on that front does it ? NOBODY ignores kudzu ;-)
right now I’m torn between power lb/gs ranger and hybrid lb/sw/torch ranger. hybrid so expensive for food but gotta have that 100% bleed/100% burn duration ;-(
Neither of them play for me, am I doing something wrong or does it only play live? I never watch twitch I have no idea… ¯\(?)/¯
good stream. where you running marauder amulet? I’ve kind of moved away from marauder and on to either crusader or cavalier with remorseless and int sigils. I crit less often but i survive very well in team fights.
@Ryan;
Thanks for the tip, I’ll add it to my list of settings to try out on tonights stream. It’s appreciated!
@Manekk;
I’m honestly not sure what that is, it might be the video player plugin not being up to date or not playing nicely with your computer security or something.
This week I’m going to look for the quick fix of uploading my streams to youtube for the immediate future so that people with twitch problems can still watch. I’ll work to pick an editor and edit out the downtime and eventually dub over it if I’m ever doing a poor job of self-commentating while I play.
@Prophet;
Yeah I was running Marauder, and I’d even go zerker against the right team comp if I was feeling that comfortable. With the trait split that I run and the way that I play, I haven’t ever found myself dying really unless I get outplayed or focused, which are two things that are usually out of my immediate control hahaha.
Not to say I wouldn’t run tankier, but I would probably drop the Longbow and run full melee to do it with Skirmishing, Wilderness, and a preference third.
I find that the high damage amulets help me +1 or be “the damage” in fights and my team benefits, or the other team sends their +1 or focuses on me, in which case a competent team will appreciate me kiting around and relieving pressure and should be able to take advantage of whatever situation it ends up as (essentially the +1s cancel each other and make the teamfight a 4v4, or the other team focuses me, meaning my team can “counter push” one of them and we can trade evenly in a teamfight, ideally).
But that’s just my thought process.
Also, if the kudzu wasn’t an indicator as to why I don’t run full melee, among other reasons, I love my longbow haha
Just went live, heads up! Will be doing PvP from now until the guild starts running around 11pm to midnight my time (3 to 4 hours from now) and will probably stream through that unless it’s super boring in which case I’ll just call the stream at that point and start earlier tomorrow to get more PvP footage.
Two Past Broadcasts this time. The match quality got really bad at some point as did my playing quality, but I rallied at the end, and Durzlla joined up with me for a few hours in the second stream and we won every match and I rallied to some degree, although my gameplay got a bit more mindless.
Part 1: http://www.twitch.tv/itsjroh/v/10569227
Part 2 with an eventual Durzlla feature: http://www.twitch.tv/itsjroh/v/10586375
Will work on some match highlights and upload them to youtube. I tried uploading the whole first VOD from the first stream and youtube got angry with me lol.
(edited by jcbroe.4329)
Spoiler alert, my Fernhound and Bear ruined peoples days and selfesteem.
Some additional notes: Sorry for the poorer stream quality. I found out that on this older desktop, I’m pretty much maxing out my GPU usage and it runs a little hot, which would cause a displeasing viewer experience I’m sure.
Once I’m back in college and am regularly using my much more upgraded laptop, the stream quality should improve. I’ll side by side compare the two streams and figure out if 60fps or 30fps bandaids that problem in the meantime.
good stream! I was watching for a bit in the earlier part of it.
Thanks!
I just got finished my latest stream and I honestly wouldn’t recommend it lol. I start WvW raiding because that’s part of what I do, I play ranger in an organized guild group, but the WvW quickly got stale after the first few fights and it’s still ultimately just ranging things down.
I eventually transitioned to PvP and the match quality was just horrific. Even continuing to queue after the first match was pure masochism.
ANet can’t fix the quality of my teammates with a balance patch hopefully at least they get around to fixing a few of the more broken things sooner than later (burning or the main offenders of burn applications, ele “master of all trades, average at none” builds, etc).
8/12 stream: http://www.twitch.tv/itsjroh/v/10726410
8/13 stream: http://www.twitch.tv/itsjroh/v/10841704
Youtube is NOT liking my videos -.- other than that, I recommend the 8/13 stream over the 8/12 stream, even though 8/13 is pure WvW.
Will be pure PvP queuing on my 8/14 stream, so anybody wanting to watch, look forward to that.
stick to spvp please. That wvw steam is horrible lols.
I made it to ~37min and stopped when I saw you deleting supply/stealth removal traps ;-(
If you want to stream wvw then please clear bags before hand/get more bag slots.
Its not just the constant inventory problems you were having. I think the entire time I watched (~37min) you used hunters shot like 3 times, SoS 1-2 times entangle 1-2times rapid fire like 20times barrage like 5times swoop for running around. That’s pretty much it. You missed some gold opportunities to pbs some kitten cccp out of garrison off cliff.
Will watch some spvp now ;-)
Could have made that feedback vastly more constructive with a change in language…

I wasn’t referring to the actual language used, but the way it was used. Constructive criticism is always better than the alternative, which achieves nothing. Just saying.
Inventory Management [Vid]
Get yourself a copperfed salvage machine. Really just get one, not silver one though.
More bag slots, optional.
Special bag types. Invisible/crafters/oiled bags are crafted and can be found on TP. Green/Yellow/Gold rarity bags are fractal boxes purchased at fractal golem merchant.
Please salvage whites/blues/greens, can just turn around and trading post the mats for more and you will have luck you can add to your accounts Magic Find.
I know you spvp but that doesn’t mean you need to have an inventory that drives you nuts trying to keep clear while streaming wvw ;-)
(edited by Justine.6351)
I can stick to streaming spvp, that’s fine. Just remember that I run raids with my guild in WvW at least half the week and half my play time, which cuts my streaming time essentially in half, although I completely understand the quality of gameplay improves by leaps and bounds when the quality of the fights and game modes improves.
Besides that, I don’t care about inventory management. I got all of my slot bags from earning them in the old PvP glory system. If somebody wants to buy and send me a salvager and different kinds of bags lol, then that’s their perogative, and I’m well aware I could be more efficient, but I’ve just never needed to be, and I think I’ve done pretty well with making money and getting what I want in game.
Sorry if my inventory bothers you though!
sweet to still see you around mate. Keep going!

I’d still like to see you in WvW on your ranger , you’re name is influential, I know you do well and this would help towards the ranger hate Cause (new players picking up Veteran player bad habbits " just saying" , just post when you are doing WvW or Spvp and i’ll happly still watch ether or both when i’ve got the time.
Feedback or anything would be appreciated
Every time I have visited your stream, its been nothing but a laggy clipping mess. Really it’s un-watchable for my self.

Why not silver fed tho? Isn’t that better?
Also, if you dont play fractals, is there any alternative to the Fractal bags?

Silver costs too much and gives too many trash upgrade sigil, runes that clutter inventory.
the fractal rarity bags are exclusive sorry. They arnt super expensive though, just do a fractal on occasion and buy the rare one first. Exotic second or not at all tbh. The green boxes arnt needed and can be regular bags. I just thought they looked pretty.

No problem! I actually did stream some if you read Justine’s feedback on it. My WvW gameplay is nothing special, it’s just that I run with my guild at all times in WvW as the gank squad leader and we don’t talk, we communicate entirely by target calling, so I can imagine it will be boring, but I’ll try to keep both streaming.
I’m on T3 in Crystal Desert, and my guild leader won’t let me play anything else for him lol (he swears up and down I’m great at ranger and am as good as any other caster, and I argue back with him all the time telling him I’d literally bring more to the group as any other class, but he won’t hear it, and ranger IS my main so I don’t mind hahaha).
I can keep streaming it then, no worries, and I’ll try to keep posting past broadcasts here if you don’t catch it live.
Feedback or anything would be appreciated

I know it’s an issue and I’m very sorry about that, I have an older graphics card and it’s maxing out my gpu usage just rendering people, let alone the fact I have to run in pure low settings.
I should be getting a new graphics card by the end of the week, so in the meantime, I’d appreciate it if you check out a past broadcast or two and let me know if it’s on my end or if it’s the streaming service itself, because I know a few people on here have mentioned as well that it’s twitch for them and I want to make sure.
If it’s on me (it probably is), check back next week and I’ll have my new school laptop optimized for streaming which will be better, as well as a new graphics card in my current PC. I’ll update this thread when all of that happens so hopefully your experience improves

EU FSP here :
I saw Justine’s feedback , don;t worry i do the Same with my guild too though when i tried to teach how a ranger worked they greatly confused themselfs with the Postioning Movements as they have been Guard/warroir/Ele for too long , so i generaly end up in the same Role Becomming the Targeting leader Marking the weak links.
it looks boring but from a tactictions view the opportunities are clear as daylight, its always Fun to watch a different persons Server in action.
My broadcast App’s are all set up , I just need to find the time and with my guild to do some recording but as of right now we’ve got our 10 year anniversary comming up and a lot of us are building/ editing gear for HoT or atleast for the Public Boarderlands release , which im so Looking forward to !

Make the bow sing
Thanks man! It’s been forever, I figured you either took a break or moved on to bigger and better things lol.
For people who had wanted a PvP stream, I just finished queuing for 4.5 hours, and had a few good matches against Chaith (Five Gauge) and Toker (…Toker lol) from the WTS NA team (for people who don’t tune into PvP streams/events).
You can see it here: http://www.twitch.tv/itsjroh/v/11435321
I think that overall I had a good night of playing this time, so hopefully I can stay consistent and improve, and also get that new graphics card sooner than later lol.
@Zenos;
Ahhh, awesome to hear that I’m not alone in the “guild ranger” WvW front. I know that there are definitely more people that are, but I’m not sure that everybody is vocal or active about it.
Also, @Everyone;
I need to update my builds to reflect the swap from Signet of Renewal to Quickening Zephyr on my bar. I really, REALLY enjoyed its versatility, especially the super speed aspect of it, and somehow made me feel like I had even more defense and survivability (again, superspeed lol).

i am still active 5-10 minutes a day, to get my login award, and a few events to maintain my karma level just enough to keep using the karma converter :P
Tonight’s VOD: http://www.twitch.tv/itsjroh/v/11631947
Sorry guys, was in a bad mood from IRL stuff and it kind of bled into my queuing. Still, it’s ranger gameplay I guess hahaha.
For the status of the stream: my PCs new graphics card will be arriving a bit later than originally estimated, but it is coming. I’ll let you guys know here when you can expect to see a better quality stream.
I’ll also be streaming hopefully next week between my first few days on campus and in class, and that will be a new setup so I’ll let you know when to stop by and see if my laptop I’m getting will have better streaming potential.
