Hello, after playing many ranger builds in PvE for a while i came up with a list of things i personally would like to see improved/fixed.
1- Sword Auto attack is a mess, either you have to disable it and go manual the whole time or just eat everything thrown at you.
What would i like to see, a sword that doesn’t lock you in a large animation cycle (prevents you from dodging in time), the leap somehow not happening when you have no-target (i have killed myself a bunch of times because of this), and perhaps a shorter execution delay for skill 2.
2- Greatsword, awesome weapon really don’t have any complains about the weapon skills, but trait synergy is weak, Two-handed Training is a Master level trait and it only buffs a mere 5%, there are a lot better options to take on Nature Magic.
I would like to see the trait getting somewhat of a buff, perhaps if GS is meant for defense, add toughness or w/e you can come up with.
3- Torch, great for Condition damage, but it’s just dull, skill 5 is an 8 second fire field witch is very nice but both skills are just burn + burn….
I don’t have a clear idea of what to add here but maybe a dev or someone from the community can come up with a better skill set.
4- Storm Spirit, while maybe useful for PvP, i haven’t found any use for this spirit buff/ability in PvE…
Maybe change it for something more desirable like Vulnerability on hit?, and the skill could be a small daze [synergy with moment of clarity
].
5- Master’s bond, please fix, i hate water because of this trait (you automatically swap pets when you go underwater, this resets all the stacks your pet has).
Just fix!
6-Pets, and the most important thing i would like to see improved, is not stats, is not damage, but please give us a “Pet dodge” button!
F3 doesn’t work if you’re melee, pets always eat all the AoEs bosses trow out, it shouldn’t be hard to make F1 a toggle between Attack/Call back, make it have a 0.5 second CD so people who bash their keyboard don’t complain, that way we can have room in F3 for a Pet 1s Dodge! make it have a CD of 8s or whatever you consider balanced but please just add something like this!.
If any other ranger out there wants to add any opinion you’re welcome to do so, lets keep this constructive and thinker some good ideas to improve this class quality of life (note i’m not asking for direct buffs just some fixes and tweaks).
