Guild Wars 2

So after this latest… “upgrade” to the Ranger class, I have decided to switch. But I don’t really know what I should switch to. Anyone have any suggestions? What are you guys switching to?

warrior, they received a long bow buff with last patch.

I agree. Warriors also get rifles, which are awesome.

I do like the versatility of the engineer though…and they also get rifles.

Rifles…

Doesn’t really matter since any other class will be better.
For pvp you may wanna roll warrior/thief for burst builds, or mesmer/guardian/ele for bunker builds.
Seems like they went from holy trinity to holy duality

At this time I would recommend rerolling as the current state of the ranger is unplayable. Longbow warrior is quite good or even shortbow thief.

I rolled a warrior specialising in the rifle, it’s everything I wanted in my main ranger. Sad but true.

Ranger lvl 80 (in storage until ranger is fixed.)
I had a 2nd toon that was a lvl 20 warrior—have usually been a warrior in other games—but this one I just couldn’t like—maybe I was building it wrong.
So I made a Norn Guardian —-loving it, survive a lot longer than my warrior and hands out more damage. LvL 24 now and growing!!

if u just feel like killing time eles r fun…on a side note…had a member of my guild tell me to l2p when i said rangers are a horrid class -_-…apparently we can easily dish out 20k dmg or more in 16 seconds and our power builds r mad strong the ranger community just doesn’t know how to manage pets…idk if you all feel the same but idiots like this are the reason we will never be fixed…too many fan boys telling us the game is balanced and we “just don’t understand how gw2 works”…I take it back…keep ur ranger and organize a ranger army in wvw for all servers and laugh when we get mowed to prove a point.

Pretty sure a ranger army would mow over everything with Barrage spam. Just a useless side note.

Barrage doesn’t provide enough threat to a group of enemies. Even if you had 5 groups of 5 rangers, there’s no way of pinning them down in that AoE of arrows. Unless some other zerg has them occupied into a different battle, then the rangers have their chance to shine.

The cripple debuff is laughable. Any halfwit can dodge their way out of the AoE or just simple walk out of it.

Well, I rather like Barrage and its cripple debuff, it works as an amazing control ability, people tend to scatter or fall back when you start raining arrows down.

But, like YumCHA said, even if you had 5 groups of 5 rangers, it would be a joke, simply because the damage is so pathetic on it

Despite what people say, warriors aren’t that op. They’re balanced, so if you like balanced go play one of those.
