Guild Wars 2

I’ve built.

And I’ve torn her apart again and again. I’ve researched on the net and torn her apart again and again and again in hopes that I’d find a decent build to go into spvp, WvW and ahem (!) tournaments.

I’ve made it to 80 with my Ranger and I’ve fought and die more than any other character – my level 10 (!) toons can do as much damage in most situations.

But getting to 80 wasn’t the issue, it’s pvp, and no hope of tournament play even now.

Every single spvp game in am in rangers are downed in one or two hits – whilst the mesmers, thieves and warriors (and more geeze) can’t be downed by me and my supposedly huge pet who does almost no good.

Again and again and again Rangers are given no real threats, aren’t taken seriously by this or any other MMO to date and I am sick and tired of this! I paid for this game on a fixed budget – this is more than nuts.

I want to play a ranger – I do better emotionally in a game with the prospect of finding pets, and being partnered with a creature who is supposed to protect me.

Even now I can’t get my pets, all of them, to do what they need to do, are meant to do on a consistent basis… they seem to go after animals even at 80 without my clicking on anything at all.

Rangers aren’t underpowered, they are broken and they need a serious re-do and not to other MMO standards of this type of character – we have magical pets and they aren’t being taken seriously nor are they powered enough to be able to listen and do what they are intended to do… protect the Ranger.

You can’t blame me on mechanics since my mesmer and thieves do well enough for what I understand of them at all of level 10, but my ranger, my eighty ranger can’t down a single toon without massive help – that’s wrong when they can down me alone and kill me with a single blow – why can’t I have the same abilities and do that kind of damage with a pet that doesn’t die amazingly quickly?!?

seriously… pick one of the other 40 similar posts that were created today alone and post there… this is really starting to clutter up the forums

You (Guild Wars 2) stated that you would do more if we posted in these darned forums, but all of us know that you have lied to us and we are getting sick of it.

No, this isn’t real life but it is important to those of us who spent the money and who play this game to get out of it what you promised which was balance between the classes and professions.

Our pets are underpowered.

Our weapons are underpowered.

Our skills are underpowered.

And that is compared to all other professions available.

How about doing the right thing and re-doing Ranger to the standard of a Warrior or Protector but this isn’t a Ranger… This is a joke.

I created one posting after playing since the first day – get over it.

if i might ask what exactly are you having problems with? i use a shortbow/longbow weapon swap sets, and i can consistently take down group events on my own (granted it will take a good bit of time) but i can take the hits, my pet actively attacks and protects me without me prompting it to do so. and with the search and revive downed allies ability it is a huge help to others. longbows do damage from far away, and have nasty AOE abilities, while the short bow is good for throwing poison and diverting projectiles with slowing the enemies down. but you are a RANGER my man. your not supposed to be up close to the action. we aren’t made to be in the front were the back of the pack raining down to assist the heavy hitters. one on one in close combat your going to lose. thats just common sense, it can be frustrating but being a ranger is more of a strategic class, not a run in sword swinging class. best of luck to you, and happy hunting.

Disagreed. Rangers are extremely powerful 1v1, which brings it to the issue of the only game mode currently. Conquest requires team battles and most part basically no 1v1s. Ranger just doesn’t shine in the meta game, the class isn’t as weak as you all think.

level 80 ranger? No wonder you QQ alot, talking about wvw LOL.

edit: I’ll gladly 1v1 you, pick and choose your class in a empty server room. From how poorly you talk about the ranger class I can already tell you are mediocre with any other class.

I highly suspect people calling the ranger class useless the same rangers I fight who stand their ground spamming shortbow 1 expecting to burst down a class. Am I right?

its all about movement baby! xD
