Guild Wars 2

i am not the greatest ranger ever .but 90% of the time after a pvp match i will get whispers from warriors i beat asking for my build.i would like to know why they do it . the reason why i ask is because its just warriors. i don’t get whispers from other classes that often.does this happen to any of you guys? my build isnt that special its just a con/regen build i got from forums https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/ranger/Faux-s-RRR-Build-Conditions-Variation/first and to all who think rangers suck i must be doing something right if i am getting complements and people asking for build…my ranger is named David The Huntsman cya guys in game

It’s the poison up time and dodge spam.

Maybe they were once a ranger and thought ranger sucks and gave up, roll a warrior for a longbow build…

I don’t get surprised, there are good rangers out there really.

I’m surprised people in PvP aren’t more used to seeing better rangers, but in WvW it’s very common. People can get quite worked up when they lose a fight they were expecting to faceroll and often ask for a rematch because the first time they “weren’t taking it seriously”.

Are you shocked when you get 2 hit by Thief?
Or Permastun by HamBow?
Or kitten d by Necros?
Or die to Mesmer burst in 3 sec?

Oh I am not….What I am shocked is, that ppl still play this, and claim the game does not need content, it needs fine tuning to the current content…after 2 years of 0 content basically and less balance then it had -_-

The majority of people I kill that ragequits are warriors. I have no idea why but I can guess that it’s probably because rangers are very much like warriors and many of them consider themselves being a better ranger by playing warrior.

I remember the last game I played with an abundance of content. there was so much new stuff that everything that we loved and enjoyed got abandoned and PvP suffered in full. As the company kept pushing for ‘new systems’ no one asked for, the gearing required to stay relevant got higher and higher to the point that we spent 3-4 hours doing dailies. It went from a month of getting gear to having to keep a spot on a leaderboard to wear specific gear that was better than others. They even added new classes, but in the end the balance favored the new vs the old once high gear was put into play.

TBH, I loved that game and at first I really enjoyed a good deal of content that was coming out in the form of new skills. It wasnt until they aggressively pushed the next two big patches with not much room for plain janes like me who wanted to PvP having to shuffle through instance after instance, camping world bosses and hoping that our ‘faction’ would pull it together this patch so I could get a spot on the leaderboard and not be killed by people overgearing me only.

Yes, that is extreme example. Point is, for some people this is ‘no content’. For someone like me, This is slowly getting better while not destroying the kitten core immensely. People will always say that it is good that a developer updates their game, and I think thats true especially in terms of balancing (which I hope Anet learns is the thing alot of us want more than anything which I bet both of us can agree on), but god do some games that have been considered to pump ‘lots of content’ push their initial player base away with their new massive and boring areas that only ‘look good’ but feels like crap to run around.

On actual subject, Yes I ask everyone about their build if they do very well, lol. I play pretty much all classes, so I am very interested in trying new things. I try to be polite about it however. In most cases I am not kitten, but it would be a lie if I thought it was normal if I got hit for 3.5k longbow shots post patch or something. I would want exactly what kind of stuff that guy is having for a bit!

Warriors are a class we seem to counter pretty well. On my ranger its more the mesmers that make me want to rage quit (spvp) unless I have a longbow in the build.

i feel your pain my friend try guarding the tower then all the sudden a Mesmer and an engineer and necro show up that was a match i wanted to rage quit lol

3:1 the question isn’t are you going to prevail, its how badly can you string them along…?

Are people shocked when I place a bunch of traps in front of the Asuran Portal in Sky Hammer? trollface

Wrecking people in spvp means I get told that Shotbow is OP and needs nerfed. Alllllll the time. Usually only have an issue with HamBow if they are decent.

“Are people shocked when I place a bunch of traps in front of the Asuran Portal in Sky Hammer? trollface”

And it does nothing basically….

Content? Yeah its supposed to be an MMO RPG….and we get jumping puzzle like kitten for years…but not a Guild Hall? No GvG? No new weapons? For years?
If you think getting content destroys the game, u suggest play single player games.
As a side note…they hardly added any content like that the balance is still only getting worse…so your point is invalid.

Any warrior who’s spent their fair share of time in tPvP knows that if an organized team takes a ranger it means trouble. Rangers are only perceived as the “weak class” in low-mid tier PvP where many people are uneducation as to how the class works.

^ this , i only Tpvp with guild members its much more constructive.
As the mobility of the ranger and its ability to damage while doing other tasks such as pressure/impair movement (using the pe,t you know if your in a good match when you hear someone shouting get this flipping pet off me or see them red dots chase your pet trying to stop it from downing someone) while your doing that , im resing someone while that pet knocks you down for some ankle biting. its a much more team oriented class.

ps hammer warroirs that pair with a ranger love rangers , the problem is as viking said the perceived as “weak class” in low-mid tier pvp , its hard to break out of those teirs due to teams perceiving them as a weak class, then by not working with them as a team because they think its holding them back.
so some choose to ignore the ranger and focus on thier own goals but clearly this only effects you if you team up with randoms if the attitude changed, it would a totally different story.

some teams i’ve come across in tpvp in a random join , when fighting my opponents , i can clearly see some people do offer support to a ranger class and most of these matches i’ve been in have ended in wins well above average points.

warriors are pretty easy to beat as a ranger when you have your elite available. as a power ranger, it’s always a sure win vs a warrior when i am able to use RaO and as a spirit ranger, when i have the elite spirit.

Killed an axe/shield lb ranger yesterday in soloq with my lb/gs sotf and rtw build. He asked me if that was some new op ranger build.

Power ranger op. Nerf pls.

I either get tons of hate from warriors when they lose, or cheers and awe… don’t really get why… most of them are quite easy to defeat.

Are you shocked when you get 2 hit by Thief? No, not if I am glass

Or Permastun by HamBow?, Running without stun breaker are we?

Or kitten d by Necros? No, not If I dont use my range and kiting abilities

Or die to Mesmer burst in 3 sec? No, because I have a stun break and escape and blocks with GS…
