Guild Wars 2

Yes we can play, but every other class does it better.

Even the guardian and Warrior have better range, than a Ranger. They have plate also.

We do have a long bow that can match warrior, and Guardian, range(1200), but its 5 skills are poor.

i would rather take a range warrior/guardian over a ranger for dungeons.

While I agree that the warrior is currently a much better ranged option, what weapon does the guardian have to hit at 1200 range? I would have never considered them a better ranged option.

Rangers will get fixed 6 months after anet nerfs hundred blades.

Hundred Blades will get nerfed 1 year after Heartseeker get’s nerfed.

..or, backstab.. stealth.. etc

Even Thieves short bow options are better than Rangers short bow..

What is a Rangers roll to Anet again?

Because at the moment our roll is “sit on the sidelines and watch the other kids play better”

Scepter, torch #4, focus #4, and iirc staff #2 are all 1200 range.

Lol, “fixed”…. because we have pets

I do just fine 1v1, it’s the group utility I have trouble with. Also AoE

I believe Anet thinks that they just fixed us two days ago.
It seems that we are not supposed to be a dungeon class at all. The more I think of it, the more I get this unsettling feeling that the Ranger is supposed to be a PvP-only class.
Either that or they just don’t know how to balance PvE while not breaking PvP yet. I will keep my fingers crossed and wait for the day that they figure it out.

ranger have also not place in a tpvp team…
(guardian, mesmer, ele, necro (now) and thief or engi.
warrior and ranger are second choose in pvp)

ranger have only place in lionsarch atm,
watching other kids play, like dante sayed

but it was always like this, that was not only this patch

Nothing new there…ranger tended to be much better in PVP than PVE in GW1, especially with bows.

I stopped playing my ranger and the game entirely in december. It looks like things have only gotten worse since then lol. Well I’ll guess I will be playing my engineer or rolling a warrior once the client finishes downloading.

Unfortunately, Dungeons themselves are sort of dying off lately too… So the ranger’s place in the dungeon is kind of becoming moot at this point.

The only “dungeon” (which isn’t even a real dungeon path) seeing constant use is the Gold Farm and I WOULD STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT NO ONE BUILD AN ALT FOR THAT YET IF YOU DON’T ALREADY HAVE ONE. Reason being: Anet nerfed COF several times, not just here in GW2 pretty quick after launch, but they totally NUKED IT FROM ORBIT in Gw1 also.

Some people compared the changes to Spell Breaker & Holy Wrath to “smiter’s boon’ed”. … and with Anet, history tends to repeat itself. So if you don’t already have a totally DPS spec’d Guardian/Warrior then there’s no point in even investing in one this late in the game just to do dungeons when Colin already said there’s going to be massive rewards overhaul (that also means nerfs!) in about 2 months time.
