Guild Wars 2

Just wanted to start a thread discussing how ranger sit in the current game environment. I’m a fairly active lurker here so I thought I’d share my observations.

PvE: One of the best classes. Pets allow us to solo group events with ease and makes for a fairly hands off playstyle.

Dungeons: Severely limited due to narrow spaces, AoE and powerful mobs killing pets. Not exactly welcomed to things such a the Jelly and Jade fractals.

WvW: We make for great roamers and solo characters. However, we don’t really have much to contribute to group fights and sieges except for Guarding pets up walls and Barrage.

sPvP: Apparently Rangers have made a resurgence on the competitive scene as a hybrid bunker/point defense and roamer character and is starting to step on the toes of eles/mesmers/thieves for the role of best 1v1 duelist.

Does anyone disagree with these observations? Confirmations?

Agree with all but the last one, as I don’t dabble in sPvP.

I think Anet are worried if they make our pets too tank, we will just solo the whole game.

I think they need to just give us Ignite Arrows utility or something along those lines. It would help in group fights across the board in PvE and WvW
