You guys are over exaggerating.
Especially people who claim that rangers do poorly in SPVP. Ranger is slightly under-powered in terms of the meta in tournament style PVP but I wouldn’t say by much.
No one seems to understand how fast a ranger can put pressure on a player with conditions while still having decent survivability. Not to mention that there is a build that basically leaves you unkillable, or atleast until your team members can come kill off the attackers for you.
People seriously need to start to learn how to use their pets properly, for example I use double ravens because their high damage synergizes well with my build, not to mention they seem to hit running targets a lot more efficiently.
I’m not a ranger pro or do I claim to be but you guys make it seem like the class has absolutely nothing and I strongly disagree with that.
But before all of you guys start posting angry replies, yes the ranger has issues that should be addressed and is slightly weak at the moment.
Slightly underpowered? Show me your ranger and your stats!
This post has been made 100x already in many different forms (including by myself). Nobody is focusing on the balance of the class anymore as ArenaNet has already identified this as something that needs fixing – the issue remains the misleading information and the lack of actual response/change.

And the best part… THEY ARE WORKING ON IT
When you play a ranger who is consistently dead, dead, dead in spvp no matter what the build or mechanics, then and only then can you say what you have…
You are a silly person for not playing a character we who do play it know is broken.
Rangers are the bottom of the barrel currently, but maybe if every other profession was nerfed we would be ok. I’ve always been a firm believer that no class should ever 1 or 2 shot anyone. Long battles are far more enjoyable then 2 second fights, no class in the game should be critting for over 10k. If most classes have roughly 20k life why are there classes critting for 20-30k ? Bad design is bad.
30K? What class is critting for 30K? lol…

Thank you docMed <3 Anet has admitted rangers are the “most broken class”. Even though no one believes them they say they’re working on it. Next time though, we’ll try to …. under-exaggerate :/
30K? What class is critting for 30K? lol…
Warrior Rifle Kill Shot, checkout you tube some time theres plenty of clips on it.
That and some friendly guild discussion on the topic of our highest crits, shockingly 2-3 Warriors claimed their highest crits (not sure with what weapon) were between 30k and the highest of 36k … now they may have been full of crap but I don’t see why they would feel the need to lie to guildies as they laughed about how OP they felt it was.

I agree and I am tired of those who aren’t playing Ranger weighing in on what they can’t understand.

If you are being 1shotted by a thief I’m afraid you are either using a terribly bad build or just doing it very wrong. Trap condi ranger is a STRONG counter against thieves.

You mean the video where the warrior preys on squishy people who are not level 80 and not geared? WOW AMAZING!! Are you also talking about the attack that is basically useless in actual pvp?

Have to agree here – trying to use anything relating to balance issues outside of spvp is quite ridiculous.

I actually feel like I’m the one being trolled here. Are you so bad that you get hit by kill shot? Is that honestly something you can complain about lol. Sure I’ll understand getting hit by a backstab combo once in awhile because you aren’t ready but kitten, even when I’m in battle because of the fov I can see a warrior kneeling from miles away and avoid that.
We all agree the ranger is underpowered – why are we having discussions on it to what degree they are? Fact is ArenaNet needs to actually start putting in place corrections they indicated long ago would be and these conversations that just go in circles (I’ve literally seen hundreds of these threads) are pointless. Read the archive of posts.

It’s just annoying to see people complaining about the wrong things. Like I just read a thread about how ranger dies 1-2 hits no matter what. Like that must be a joke right?
Again, your post has been made by 100’s of users before you, including myself. Just serves no purpose to try and calm the forum storm by telling individuals they are wrong. We all agree the class is underpowered and even ArenaNet cites it as the most underpowered – Our efforts should be directed to receiving answers/corrections from ArenaNet – not QQ’ing at each other.
Well, I mean, it is an o-board.
It’s not like a fan forum, the implication of developer eyeballs makes posts less about players communicating to other players and more like players filing a complaint to the complaints department under the guise of conversation. It’s kind of the nature of the beast.
The disparity between Overpowered and Underperforming is alot less than many other MMORPGs I’ve played. So, it’s possible that ’I’m personally not having too much difficulty’ and ‘rangers are in need of the most love’ to be both be technically true at the same time. Ranger might be skirting the bottom of the barrel, but, you’re not going to feel too weak because it’s a pretty shallow barrel.

Well if you can’t tell there is a large corp’s that hates pets. I myself avoided maximizing them for too long before working on how to utilize them. Once you accept the pet mechanic and work on integrating them warts and all there are some decent options.
Masters Bond people, it’s not just for PvE it works in Tpvp with high benefit. Thanks Durzlla for posting on that… I’m a tester and I had accepted the it’s a pve trait mantra. Wrong it’s even better in PvP I think.
Arguably 10 in beastmastery is a must. Doubt I’ll play another build without at least that. It really shines at 30 BM however. And if your delivering AOE damage you get to 25 stacks pretty fast. At which point you are a force of nature or your pet is.
Embrace the pet….You are balanced around it… And it has some pretty sweet options utility and damage.
Or embrace the traps….
Or I imagine in a shaman amulet build both is conceivable….
If you can’t embrace the pet or a pure condition build the class can be a bit frustrating ATM. I still can’t embrace condition something about SB 1 spam haste drop circles annoys me. Just don’t find playing it rewarding.
Class needs work and improvement but has some enjoyable options.
OoS
A whittling ranger becomes viable by forcing his opponent to whittle
Hey NaturalPortman…
could you specify what this ‘unkillable’ Ranger build is?
thanks

Agreed, people don’t know the sheer power of ravens. And don’t pet swap often enough / don’t know when to pet swap. Pet swap for the quickness short burst / to get your pet in range for it’s attacks. I’ve also noticed that spamming f2 right after pet swap activates the skill more efficiently.

Yep, all you have to do is just activate the skill when your pet is not doing of their spell cast rotations (like swiftness from owls, leap from wolves, etc).

You can build on how you like to play, but I personally bunker with 30 in marksmanship (I run 3 signets) then spec the rest into regen/ vigor traits. Other options are using “protect me” but I dislike it. Make sure you get the dodge for protection trait as it synergizes with vigor extremely well. I use the 6x Lyssa runes incase I run into a dirty necro and turn all his condis into boons, but dwayna runes work extremely well too. And finally I my weapon set is GS / sword dagger. Yes great sword. GS 4 is almost too amazing now. With healing spring I have 3 leap finishers for 3x aoe healing (sword 2 comes off cooldown to do twice then GS 3)
This is just my playstyle though, trap condi tank build works amazing as well with cleric amulet, and I almost forgot I equip the cleric amulet.
Sorry for the huge clump of words, was too lazy to write it properly and organize it.

If your talking about my post you need to re-read it yet again, nothing about rangers specifically dying in 1-2 shots. Carry on.

Not asuran warriors, much harder to know when they are kill shotting. I land kill shot via rifle butt and frenzy, so easy to get a kill shot off then.

Have to agree – carrying any stun break and/or dmg immunity utilities (which is what any tpvp players would carry) negate these types of bursts quite well.
Casual players dont have important opinions. Play with good players and see the difference.
That is a valid point in that what you are essentially saying if I’m translating correctly is that if you were to turn this into an e-sport and want to maximize your teams victory chance a ranger option wouldn’t be on the team.
I consider that a true statement. But 99% of players lack the capacity to play at a truly competitive level even on a class that can perform there.
And if your a true hardcore player the current flavor class name is irrelevant it’s the ability to win that matters most you play the current class that gives you the best shot…. Just sayin.
You don’t whine how xyz class cause you really really like that archetype isn’t performing;). Archetype is irrelevant victories matter if your truly harcore.

Yeah maybe the bad warriors that rely on Stun/Hundred Blades… good luck in the higher tiers lol
Higher tiers? I run with my tpvp all the time and play top teams. Fact is they are easily kiteable.
lol rangers counter warriors for days. You must be playing really bad rangers.
Haha, OP it is you who are clearly exaggerating. Check out this thread from the spvp forums where ranger is ranked worst or equal worst of all professions for spvp in nearly every post:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/pvp/Rank-dem-Professions-V2/page/2#post734766
In fact it is only on the ranger forums that you can find people who actually think they are any good.

Crazy to think the people who play the class may know a thing or two about them and/or be the most knowledgable. Nonetheless, they are talking about Rangers in usefulness/utility for spvp, which they are fairly low in my opinion. However, in 1v1 scenarios they excel very well.

Yes they are talking about how good ranger is for spvp-OP claims they are gods that can’t be killed. Ranger can do well in 1vs1, especially against noobs, if specced correctly-doesn’t make them the best option to bring to a fight.

People who can’t play a class usually love to over exaggerate a classes inability to perform well to make up for the fact that they are not playing the class properly. And you misinterpreted everything I have mentioned in the original post, did I say ranger was the best class? Do you expect every class to be perfectly balanced? Please exit that dream world of yours.

Like I said, bad warriors.
A good warrior won’t be kited in sPvP… never.

Now you’re simply mis-quoting. Gods? lol, if you want to make things up why even have a conversation? Hey, Rangers have 45,000 hp and can easily play bunker builds – did you know that?

Clearly you don’t understand the mechanics of ranger pets/shortbow. Yes of course a warrior will be on you from time to time, but they are very easy to kite. Really doesn’t matter though as kiting isn’t very useful for a point control based game except for roaming scenarios.

You have horrible logic. Many people claim that warriors are gods with “broken 100b burst” or thieves have broken back stab bursts, but like you said those work well especially against noobs too right? Great logic is great.
Warrior Rifle Kill Shot, checkout you tube some time theres plenty of clips on it.
That and some friendly guild discussion on the topic of our highest crits, shockingly 2-3 Warriors claimed their highest crits (not sure with what weapon) were between 30k and the highest of 36k … now they may have been full of crap but I don’t see why they would feel the need to lie to guildies as they laughed about how OP they felt it was.
Their average burst against a level 80 geared doesn’t go above 10k from rifle warriors, i’ve yet to get 1 shotted by anyone and i have 15k hp :P
These kind of clips are indeed full of crap, it’s just cut scenes from killing upgraded level 80s and actually taking advantage of a bug there was with their trait increasing damage by 12% for each piercing…resulting in like 36% damage boost if i’m not wrong.
You can go WvW with ranger and also 1 shot (or nearly) random squishy players.
sPvP is completely unbalanced, there shouldn’t be this QQ about rangers on it because honestly…every single class has like ONE only viable build which means the current state of sPvP is bad. Even when rangers need plenty of fixes, sPvP balance itself needs a lot of work.

we are talking sPvP specifically.. a good warrior, like i’ve said a million times.. won’t be kited in sPvP, thus making your logic pretty flawed.
Obstacles
Snare Immunity
Gap Closers
Map Terrain not supportive for kiting..
all these things make bow rangers useless… thus, warrior kicking your kitten

But I don’t play bow ranger and drop warriors with ease. There are some rare really good stun lock warriors I run into, but other than that I have no trouble fighting warriors.
Especially people who claim that rangers do poorly in SPVP. Ranger is slightly under-powered in terms of the meta in tournament style PVP but I wouldn’t say by much.
No one seems to understand how fast a ranger can put pressure on a player with conditions while still having decent survivability. Not to mention that there is a build that basically leaves you unkillable, or atleast until your team members can come kill off the attackers for you.
A build that leaves you basically unkillable? So you are saying rangers are gods now?
People who claim rangers are UP in spvp are exaggerating? In every post I have read in the spvp forum rating the classes in spvp rangers are ranked at the bottom by almost everyone here is a recent one, please read and educate yourself, or maybe go play some spvp with a ranger:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/pvp/Rank-dem-Professions-V2/page/2#post734766
Rangers are seriously UP in the spvp meta, but feel free to white knight away- its easy to be pro on the forums.

Your posts really make me question your intelligence, if you actually knew how to read you would notice that I agree that the class has problems and is underpowered to some extent. You fail to acknowledge the fact that people overly exaggerate how underpowered ranger is. Please get off YOUR high horse and maybe read some books. Like you said “its easy to be pro on the forums”
