All I can say is WOW how easy this class is to play.

I can see some issues with pets like being clunky and messy but I was able to do very well.

Ran 66200 zerker in PvP since he’s only lvl 2. I may have to fully lvl and kitten WvW.

I’ll keep y’all updated.

Just FYI the game pairs you with people who have no idea what the kitten they’re doing. You’re playing a level 2 ranger against people who have never played PvP before.

Edit: That is assuming you have no PvP rank, I guess you could have 1400 games but it seems like you have about 20.

You are certainly right though, Ranger is easy to play. Against terrible players that is. Against anyone decent, you have your back against the wall. Very low skill floor, yet a very high ceiling.

1) It’s not possible for you to be experienced with PvP and not have noticed the weaknesses of a LB ranger. You’re spamming attack skills and thinking you’re doing well and getting attacked and dying. I promise you you’re not playing it at the level of someone who actually knows what they’re doing.

2) Most of us don’t even play LB ranger in PvP.

If you think bow ranger and shoutbow are easy you should really try out playing a thief in PvP. The skill floor is stupid low. You barely have to fight because your job is to run from fights and cap empty points. The only time you do fight is when you see someone is already in a fight and have blown a bunch of their cooldowns and then all you do is port to them and spam 2 or 3 buttons.

If you are in trouble you just disappear and port yourself all the way across the map to find an uncontested point. Seriously, a brain dead monkey could play it.

All I see is your words expressing your opinion. Many of us have very different opinions and have been playing Ranger for far longer.

As it is, I’d say you’re are a very inexperienced Ranger.

My impression from you taking the time to make this seemingly trolly thread and from your seemingly trolly replies in it is that you have a grudge against Rangers. This makes me assume that you still haven’t learned how to deal with a longbow ranger.

This is the impression I get. Another person who’s opinion I couldn’t care less about because they haven’t provided anything to support it. Just “this is what I think”. Not even a why other than your anecdote of “I played and it was easy”.

<sarcasm>I look forward to when you’ll do the same in other class forums</sarcasm> … I won’t be surprised when I see it … assuming you haven’t already.

Ultimately, what was the purpose of this thread other than to try to rile people up?

@ OP

What evidence do you have that further supports ranger is easy to play? We all have opinions, so some tangible numbers would have to be the tiebreaker.

For my evidence that you are wrong, I am going to use the example of the WTS tournaments. Of the top 40 professions represented, there have been, rough estimate, I don’t remember the first Chinese team comps exactly but…
Warrior: 8
Elementist: 8
Engineer: 8
Thief: 7
Guardian: 5
Mesmer: 2
Necromancer: 1
Ranger 1

Like I said, the numbers from guardian up might be give or take 1 or 2 but for sure Mesmer, necro, ranger are where they are at. By this I would have to say ranger is apparently significantly more difficult than warrior.

Pretty much this. Everyone’s experiences in spvp differ. So we have to look at the highest level for a consistent metric in what classes are capable of. If a class and build are not regularly represented at that level, then logic would suggest that; (A) That class/build is not as easy to master, and/or (B) It is not especially effective at that level.

But w/e, this thread seemed to be made to stir up kitten anyways.

Oh I’ve had a thief for years, I play it from time to time but never for very long because it is so stupid easy that I get bored of it very quickly.

All classes have the option for forgiving builds. The problem is in PvP you won’t see thieves built like that.

Tho we’re getting side tracked. This isn’t thief vs ranger but rather on how little skill is required to play ranger.

You are right about Ranger being a class with a low skill floor, meaning players new to it can have some success in unranked queues where you fight against people who are inexperienced.

However, the skill cap of the class against competent players is way higher. You need to micro-manage your pet extremely well (lots of cancel-casting) to be able to use the full potential of the class while landing your own weapon skills. It’s something that can be hard to do especially during team fights.

Complaining about ranger being ineffective in tournament level is legit. Complaining that ranger is not in unranked/ranked is probably not.

Tho we’re getting side tracked. This isn’t thief vs ranger but rather on how little skill is required to play ranger.

Oh so that is your goal, you are trying to make yourself feel better about playing a thief. That’s kind of adorable that you are trying so hard to justify how ez mode your favorite class is.

Your brief shining moment is gone now in a flaming pile of bigotry.

Have a nice day.

So I finally rolled a ranger

A thief saying Ranger is easier, what a joke.

I wish the ranger had a lot of stealth, disengages, blinds, insta cast skills, like a thief.

I wish my weapon skills are not affected by chill, I wish I had an instacast spammable intterupt. what else?

I wish my ranger had a lot of teles/ports for mobility too!

It doesn’t matter what profession I play. Ranger is easy to play.

I literally rolled one on a whim and succeeded with zero effort to actually learn the class.

I’m sorry you don’t agree but it’s the truth.

Now you need to let go of this whole thief thing. Yes I play a thief. Yes I play an ele. Yes I play an engi. Yes I play a mesmer. Yes I play a warrior and now yes I play a ranger.

Out of all the classes I play I was really shocked at just how easy I was able to pick up the class and succeed. You can be upset with what I say but you know what they say about truth.

Good day

You are right about Ranger being a class with a low skill floor, meaning players new to it can have some success in unranked queues where you fight against people who are inexperienced.

However, the skill cap of the class against competent players is way higher. You need to micro-manage your pet extremely well (lots of cancel-casting) to be able to use the full potential of the class while landing your own weapon skills. It’s something that can be hard to do especially during team fights.

It doesn’t matter who i’m fighting against. I’m on a class with zero hours played vs people who at least have sunk enough time to lvl and fully equip the character they are playing.

Most of the time they are their mains.

I have NO business having this much success having invested literally no time learning the profession. I should be nothing but a liability in a match on a ranger.

But I’m not….

Complaining about ranger being ineffective in tournament level is legit. Complaining that ranger is not in unranked/ranked is probably not. Most of your opponents are not very coordinated even if they are premades. You should be able to do your thing relatively easily, even compared across all other professions

This fella understands.

And to further his point I will ask everyone to look at the most recent nerfs handed out. The turret engi.

Turret engi wasn’t viable in tournament play, but was gutted by Anet. So let’s stop with the not viable for Tourney play angle.

Thanks.

How about you show us by doing a stream, that you’re having 5+ consecutive wins in Rank Que, to prove that it’s easy to be successful as a power ranger?

If you’re just doing those 2 wins 2 loses, 3 wins 2 loses pattern, then it’s perfectly normal, and it can be done on any classes easily without much effort put into it. This does not prove that a class is easy to be successful, but an indication of there’re terrible players and experience players out there, and it’s purely luck base to get a good team.

Also, talking about MMR, if you just start a class, you’ll start at the bottom tier of MMR of that class, meaning you’ll be matching against the most terrible players. You should keep playing and climb up the MMR first.
