Please just accept you’re not as good at ranger as you think you are. Just because -you- can’t kill a thief doesn’t mean others can’t, i sure as hell have no issues dropping thieves, then again i have half the brain to either be super offensive and keep attacking them when they stealth, or run very very far away from them so they can’t open on me.
I love how telling someone to stop saying you should NEVER die to a thief equals I’m a bad player who always dies to thieves. All you self proclaimed pros who keep telling the community that your their god learn from you have the worst habit of assumption. If you can say I NEVER die to a thief you’re jut plain ignorant. The game is at a point people know its flaws. Yes they are over exaggerated and if you look you will find good and bad suggestions for all classes. The point however still stands. You are not the ranger god, you are not a dev, and you are not unbeatable so stop telling people otherwise.
Thank you +1
Seems like im having issue replying to this board – its like some unseen force is keeping me from posting I wonder what that is………..

Where have i said i’m unbeatable? You’re worse than I, at least i don’t go around spreading nonsense about how a class is over powered because i die to it all the time.

There so many other Signets that are better, Lightning reflexes not on a ranger skill bar is ludicrous…seeing how we are more squishy then gw1 rangers….
I hardly ever run into a situation where LR is worth a slot. Almost everyone brings immobilize as their lockdown skill, not stun. Probably because everyone knows Stability and LR is ineffective vs immobilize. If they fixed that it would be soooooo worth it.
Escaping. Throw down a spike trap, LR, swap to warhorn – buff n run.
Thats just my Opinion you know? Your free to carry w/e you want.
Ask around the forums – everyone is in agreement that rangers are the unofficial whipping boys of gw2.
Thus, meaning people will likely take you as a target over anything else if they see you. In pvp or WvW.
No one is gonna turn down an “free” Badge of honor.
And yeah I agree, there are bugs that still need fixes.

Lol, you don’t need to convince of that…I get singled out a lot in WvW as soon as they see my pet next to me.
I see you meant LR as an escape and not a stun-breaker. Ya that makes sense, I switch to greatsword and swoop to do the same thing I guess.

I’ve actually noticed people attack the clothies first, it’s probably the whole “Clothies are squishy” thing thats been ingrained into everyones head since the dawn of time. They really do need to make stability protect against immob and make stun breakers break immob as well, because atm it’s just kinda stupid how immob is stronger than a stun, sure you can attack while immobed.. you know, if they don’t move behind you like EVERYONE who immobs someone does..

The whole design of the ranger class hard counters thieves…. I don’t know how you consider this trolling. Let me explain:
Let’s say you use a trap build, the second you plant your traps underneath you you are already in a huge positional advantage as the thief WILL die if he decides to attack you while sitting in the conditions, this will force them to back off or for them to harass you with ranged shortbow, but wait your ravens hit like trucks and can kill them in 2-3 hits! Harass them with the raven as you laugh at them while you take the point.
Got caught with the typical venom – backstab combo? Pop protect me / lightning reflexes/ RaO – pre combat(if you really want to kill the thief) / the condi signet (if you’re traited/ signet of stone (if you’re traited)/ GS 4 before he uses steal (hilarious) / use the sword evades before he gets the jumps (takes luck / timing but is possible)
Trust me, if you know how and when to react, it’s VERY hard for a burst thief to pull off their burst on you.

What i normally do with the 1h sword and GS (assuming the 4 is on CD because it’s kittening lawlzworthy watching them get knocked down trying to steal from you) is spam the auto attack, for 1h sword this can launch you up to 1680 units away which will leave the thieves just lost and confused as to what just happened as well as not getting off backstab (that’s for sure), great sword makes it harder for them to do because every 3rd attack you evade, this causes them to either time it, which can be deadly since you’re still hurting them while they wait and they’re doing nothing to you, or to just use back stab ASAP and have a good chance of it being evaded by you.

Kicking a thief trying to steal you is the most rewarding feeling in the game.
was doing fractals (one wif harpies). the movement speed juz feels too slow while in combat. this makes it hard to jump the platforms while harpies are pwnin me…
…because its still only 10% until the 14th.
its 0% when ur in combat. its actively passive only when ur off combat. so wat i meant to say is, it sld be permenantly passive (on and off combat) as long as u don’t use its active skill.
hopefully 14th patch gives us 25% passively on and off combat.
This is false, i’ve tested it, you -do- get the 10% increase in and out of combat, but 10% is just so minor that it’s hardly noticeable and when you slow down while entering combat you just don’t notice it AT ALL
yea ur right. the passive 10% buff does stay whether ur in or out of combat. but still the ranger is sooo slow in combat….T_T

well at least we’ll be getting the 25% buff tmr.
lol yeah me and my friend tested it like 20 times to make sure we didn’t just run a slightly different path, oh god it’s just awful currently xD.
FUN FACT: Necromancers, Rangers, Elementalists are -all- getting a signet that gives them 25% movement speed out of combat, granted ours also affects our pet, so i say ours is the best =P

Yes that is ways to not die, but does not mean they won’t find ways of killing you as well. Again point still stands that thieves can kill you and can die from you. Instead of spewing some I don’t die nonsense this should have been your original response hence why I call you a troll.
Now to durzlla you’re right you didn’t say that but instead decided to jump in defending the troll spewing that nonsense. Align yourself with their argument get bunched in with it. People exaggerate the rangers weakness and in turn people do the opposite and exaggerate its strengths. You however are to quick to jump on me for simply telling someone to stop trolling you ignore the fact I haven’t actually taken a side one way or the other. I think the best advice one can give you is think before you speak.

In 1v1s.
Outside of that rangers tend to be decent→bad depending on how many CDs they have left up.
Tragically theives don’t usually aim for straight up, fair, 1v1 fights.
Birds… ugh you have to give up half~ your spec just to have a decent bird spike, most people run canines just because they give solid CC, decent dmg and don’t require that.
Right now, thieves tend to do better ranged dmg than rangers can… so those high dps thieves in shortbow can usually whittle away any ranger not specced pretty heavily into selfhealing/toughness before going in for a kill.
