He doesn’t have a pet though and seems to camp longbow. What a scrub.

Seriously though when did anet put the ranger back in?

He’s been there since around the start of BWE3.

and yes, it’s hard to tell if it’s their attempt to show that they want to involve ranger more, or a joke about how rangers are currently being played :P

This is something I just don’t get. Longbow is one of our best power-based weapons (and THE best ranged power weapon). I don’t understand why other players ridicule the ranger class for using it. The closest people get is complaining about D/P thieves for the cheese, but it is no where near the stigma of a ranger with a bow. Why don’t we see deriding comments about a different class using an optimal weapon for a certain playstyle?

I had the same reaction. I don’t understand the ranger/LB dislike at all.

I love winning a 1v1 while camping longbow. It’s psychological warfare. Not only did I win as a Ranger, but I was camping longbow and using 2 Moas.

It was a joke, lol. if you look at my signature you’d see that I actually own Kudzu. I own it because I love longbow. I said it’s a joke about how rangers are currently being played because people are using ONLY longbow (e.g. not weapon swapping) and not paying attention to their pet, both of which are extremely bad habits that a lot of rangers have.

And since I’m not being clear enough, let me state that I was joking! I don’t think A-Net is abrasive enough to make jokes about the state of their classes.

I’m sorry if you thought my comment was specifically directed at you, it wasn’t. But the fact remains that the community at large does view ranger longbow to be something to be mocked — the fact that even a longbow aficionado like yourself will make self-deprecating jokes is proof enough of how widespread it is. My post was meant as a general frustration of the ranger-stigma problem, though I can understand how that might not have been self-evident.

A: People love to rag on the Ranger for absolutely everything. We just laugh it off with ironic parody.
B: LB cheese lets you operate at a much longer range than any other cheese and thus kittenes people off that much more. Getting 2v1’d is bad enough but getting 2v1’s when one of them is 1800 units away is much worse.
