This is what i though it will be Ranger prerelease
Really? I don’t see any reason why Rangers should be anything less than this. Seems very much in line with the other classes I play.
Tarnished Coast
That’s how rangers used to be in BWE1 and BWE2. BWE3 the ranger got nerfed hard because there was a lot of QQ about rangers (there was more about warriors) and they got hit hard by the nerf bat (warriors didn’t).
We did get the 3 shout skills to give the ranger the same number of utilities as other classes for BWE3 though. (yay….)
To be honest, I don’t really see why the Ranger was nerfed in the first place.
Death Blossom Spammers can use 6 Blossoms in a row à 4,2k damage.
100Blade Warriors can dish out 12k damage within 1 knockdown.
Mesmer can constantly crit for 1,8k damage at 12k range plus 3,5k~5k every few seconds /phantasm.
Really… Why were Rangers nerfed anyways?
Ascended Gear-progression disables WvW for us.
Stop it now!
Yeah it id really weird how Rangers got nerfed down in beta when the builds that were coming up aren’t really anything special compared to what is currently in the game.
And what part of that was OP? I didn’t see anything a warrior couldn’t do in half the time with more armor and hp. Come to think of it…I don’t think I’ve seen a GS ranger since I started playing.
i love that damage, but why did anet decrease our damage across the board for all weapons, sighhhhh
Ranger damage was nerfed beacuse they buffed our pets.
I’m guessing they thought they could fix the pet issues and it would work out, too bad it didn’t and we’re stuck with 40%or so of our damage not beeing able to hit a moving target and dying to aoe after 2 seconds.
Man i miss the BWE2 Ranger…
Its ok 40% of the dmg to be made by our pets but we have to be able to fully control this dmg.I expect the pet to have the same intelligence as me.That is improving the totall logic of skill wins.I mean if pets are doing 40% of dmg and we cant bring out this 40% of dmg no matter what we do (cause pets will do what they have to do with no change of estimate the situation) wheres the point?
And i am a great supporter of pets in Ranger,just sometimes i cant do anything at all
they should just give us the BWE type of ranger,
i would rather have a weak damaging pet, to boost our main damage,
in different aspects, dead pet = weak ranger
That video is what made me decide to play Ranger, little did I realize it was outdated and useless information. I get more ranged pew pew from my lvl 10 Warrior than my lvl 80 Ranger. And the only thing the great sword is good for is using swoop to catch up to your squad when they get ahead of you.
Rangers the slowest run speed on the map and a walking loot bag for a Thief.
The only advantages of the pet in 3w is the red name tag makes your squad look bigger.
Also naming your pet will make the opposition think it’s an Asura Mesmer for a brief second.
I Can’t wait to see what kind of nerf we get in the fix, maybe they will let us deploy two pets at once . That way we get twice the damage that doesn’t land.
Yes, BWE2 is what made me decide on Ranger. Not sure who was giving feedback but Ranger got nerfed in every aspect and right into unplayability. Give us back our BWE2 Rangers, we would only be as good as current warriors…what’s the big deal?
Edit: Not to mention… how did axes go from a great weapon/alternative to a bow to the embarrassment it is now? On top of making the axe critical trait totally butt?

They overnerfed the Ranger in the beta. It seems like they over reacted and then just forgot about the profession. The sad thing is the next major change they made to the Ranger post release was the short bow nerf. We all know about that fiasco. Who knows if we will ever see any word on the hidden qz nerf as well… Who knows what they were thinking with some of the coices they made with Ranger, but we can only hope they will make some serious improvements in this coming patch.
As an Ele / Ranger player, I think I chose the 2 wrong classes. BWE3 Ranger / Ele both nerfed for being to “Powerful” now we must all wait for the 2 Devs working on classes to fix them. Hang in there guys, atleast this isn’t a monthly sub!
Best of Luck, your fellow Elementalists / Rangers
Oh hey, this thread again.
