Guild Wars 2

In the short 20 seconds i have spended killing wasps in queensdale with my human thief i have fallen in love with it(just as i was about to delete my thief lol )

WHY IS THIEF SHORTBOW SO MUCH MORE FUN THEN RANGER SHORTBOW.

They get poison and explosions and all the cool stuff rangers had in gw1 and a autoattacks which can hit multiple targets by default without traiting for it

(yes this thread just amounts to envy and QQ )

I had more fun with cluster bomb then i had with most ranger weapons.

I just miss our preps i guess and thief reminded me of them sigh

And it will be that way till we get some proper AoE on our weapons.

A/A with dual fire sigils and a high crit chance is about the most fun you can have killing trash mobs on the ranger.

Dual Fire sigils? Sigils share cooldowns so it’s pointless to have 2 crit-proccing sigils on the same set.

But alas. Mainhand axe needs a damage buff. And it’ll never get one considering Anet doesn’t find it a problem that Rangers still don’t have viable power options.

Because every other class in the game has activated abilities that have a real, noticeable impact on the game and your opponent. The vast majority of Ranger abilities are things you use for no other reason than they’re off cooldown. They don’t do good damage. They don’t burst. They don’t AE. Most don’t even provide worthwhile utility.

The passive nature of this class is probably the most complained about thing from both sides.

With 2 sigils you increase your chances for proc. Not completly pointless. but yeah I wouldn’t do it considering icd.

Thief shortbow is absolutely great in some situations and downright OP in others (spammable blast finisher and evade), but some things will never change like it’s terrible dps because of it’s fantastic utility.

Still beats the ranger’s terrible DPS and no utility!
