Guild Wars 2

First of all, ranger damage is not as abysmal as people say; and with companions might is has only increased because of consistent pet might stacking. A berserker ranger with sword/warhorn and piercing arrows (on shortbow or longbow) can do good sustained damage with the ranger having itself having a great set of utilities. We have a lot of survivability with things like Protect me, Lightning Reflexes, and our amazing traits for endurance upkeep and CC. As for burst damage, simply using warhorn 5 and QZ with sword can do amazing damage; doubly so if you use RaO with it for hellllllla might. And spirits are simply amazing; theyre incredibly strong in pvp and they have their uses in pve. The res spirit obviously has a place in dungeons and fractals for a clutch res, something ive used to pull groups through things like Lupicus and Grawl Shaman. The protection spirit and frost spirit can both be used if you simply use the new adept spirit health/proc chance trait, all you have to do is use placement. As for PvP pet damage, if you can use Guard and micro management they can do consistent damage. For example; i’ve seen the owl pet do amazing damage (2k hits with no BM points and consistent survival with guard since patch). All this patch has done is given ranger class a skill cap, otherwise you’re all free to continue sucking
