Oh, the one that just received nothing but nerfs, 5 grandmasters that aren’t worth taking over anything that already exists, suffered the highest overall DPS loss of any class from the ferocity change, and had their only viable rune set in competitive PvP (Lyssa) nerfed? No, I haven’t heard of them. Please elaborate on how they’re OP.

Do you know WHY comprehensive nerfs like that get handed out? It’s not a dart board or slips of paper out of a hat process – its because they’re GROSSLY OVERPERFORMING.

Good thief players will continue to be competitive.

Supposedly there was a bug where wolves were hitting for 5-12K after patch, but that has been reported as fixed. So, if the OP is being serious, maybe the bug effected bears as well, or the Ranger switched to a canine, which does open with a leaping knockdown. I can assure you Anet would not intentionally give bears that kind of damage. Also, there’s a way Norn Rangers (and probably other classes) can go into bear from, and do a huge knockback with massive damage.

Did bear use earthquake stomp? Brown bear earthquake is pretty OP, especially since it causes knockback on the target, dazes, and roots them for good measure.

If you time hunters shot right as the bear does earthquake stomp, you clear all conditions and gain stability and invisibility for 5 seconds. Just at tip.

In WvW? I couldn’t agree more. In PvP, however, going into Shadow Arts is redundant as you don’t want to spend time in stealth, since it prevents capture progress.

I’m sorry but with this patch bearbow became extremely overpowered. The bear hit me for 7k and knocked me back. The ranger was triple signet shooting arrows from almost 2000 range. This is absolutely ridiculous. Triple signet bearbow ranger needs a Nerf

First, rangers don’t have 2000 range on ANY of their weapons. The longest is 1,200 with a total of 1,500 if you trait. Secondly, bears have the lowest offense of any of the ranger pets, they’re basically a piece of meat we use as shields. With signet of the hunt popped(150+ damage for one hit) a GLASS CANNON bird pet(raven) with the most hard hitting F2 skill hits x2 for around 2,500k per hit for around 5k. That’s if BOTH hits crit.

Please get your facts strait before screaming for a nerf for one of the most nerfed and undervalued classes in the game. If you REALLY hate rangers roll thief and smack one us with a backstab.

I hear they’re adding a new PvP gametype that doesn’t involve capping circles? Its going to be littered with PU and Shadow Arts :/

Maybe in a 1v1 or 1v2 you don’t want to spend time in stealth but during a team fight spending time in stealth isn’t an issue, and seeing as how you’re playing a thief you’ll be a roamer and thus can build to either 1) go in and solo people while occasionally joining a team fight or 2) bounce from skirmish to skirmish while occasionally doing 1v1s it all just depends on how you build and how your team is designed.

Thieves are fine, and their grand masters are hardly useless.

First, rangers don’t have 2000 range on ANY of their weapons. The longest is 1,200 with a total of 1,500 if you trait.

Actually, if you trait eagle eye and read the winds, due to the way the game determines range, for some reason you can reach even further ranges. Even when I first started playing I noticed being able to shoot targets whilst my skillbar said I was out of range. I don’t really care enough to test it, but 2000 range doesn’t sound out of the question.

as for OP, i don’t really care about class balance good luck with that though.

are you asking to get the bear deleted from pvp? some zerker rangers need it to tank them from damage. maybe get the bear’s health reduced a little. that will be ok.

I repeat – they don’t pick these changes out of a hat. But you go right on ahead thinking the process is out to get you.

Huh, you claim to be Top 100 Team Q, yet you aren’t even in the top 1000 (IE ranked) on either EU, or NA, in Team Q, or Solo Q….

So assuming that you WERE in top 100 to begin with, it was probably some time ago, and thus out dated, since, you know, metas change and people learn how to do things they previously couldn’t…. Or you know, people finally discover a build that’s been there since launch and yet no one used (oh look, DPS guardians…)

It’s called the AI listens to us now and actually works, so the good rangers ( or at least the ones good at pet management) are no longer being held back by kittenty AI and are now able to use their pet intelligently and skillfully instead of praying to the gods that it’ll actually attack and use its F2’s when you need them to go off.

It’s not a direct buff, it’s just making Ranger work as intended and since a lot of ungodly awful players used to see Rangers as “Free Kills” are now learning “Oh kitten, good rangers can kitten on me with minimal effort.”

I was solo roaming earlier in WvW EotM, and had 3 warriors and 2 thieves (not at the same time, just over the course of the night) see me, turn around and use all their movement abilities to get away, that NEVER happened pre patch.

This sorta upsets me because now i can’t run around with my LB and Brown Bear to bait people into dying to me so i can get free loot bags =(

But seriously, I sometimes feel that there is no hope for this class, simply because of its inherit design. I have no complaints now save for some of the traits, which are minor issues at best, but the fact that being designed around an AI does make balancing a headache.

The builds a solid one, i ran something similar to it in PvE/WvW (was impossible to run effectively in sPvP due to the lack of the stat combo), mine was using Magi gear + crits to stack might and other boons on the pet. was pretty great.

Also, i’d suggest you get another video, one with less tanky of an enemy team so it’s more apparent of how your builds damage really is instead of it being mostly muffled by the shear tankyness of the people you’re fighting (i know it’s hard, so many people are just tanking it up atm).

What do I do now that I know that thieves are OP?

Well, acknowledgement is the first step to fixing a problem. And please, D/P condi thieves are extremely OP in WvW. Take the training wheels off and play with real stats and see how they scale. Melting people at range, with stealth and mobility makes them extremely OP. Just as OP as it is for PU Mesmer’s with the same trinity of capacity. Also, D/D thieves still have the highest (cheese) burst combo in game.

To the OP, please stop with these troll thread about Bearbow being OP. I have no confidence left in the Dev’s not realizing sarcasm.

Oh, the one that just received nothing but nerfs, 5 grandmasters that aren’t worth taking over anything that already exists, suffered the highest overall DPS loss of any class from the ferocity change, and had their only viable rune set in competitive PvP (Lyssa) nerfed? No, I haven’t heard of them. Please elaborate on how they’re OP.

okay! how about being the only rogue class on record that can stealth every five seconds in combat and this is called balancing thief. thief has been the hardest per hit damage class in the game since launch. blind spam, perma stealth aka infini-condi cleanse.

They’re the highest per hit at the start of the fight, they sorta suck after their initiative is gone…

They sing dark, delicious notes about power and family.

Man you’re talking nonsense at least 3 of those traits can be used in builds. Revealed training + Sigil of Intelligence, Resilience of Shadows + Stealth spam thief, Bewildering Anguish + Torment stacking thief. You’re telling me 6/0/2/0/6 thief build is bad? You probably haven’t even tried it yet.

Guys, if you check previous OP’s posts you’ll see he thinks a 13K backstabing stealthed thief is fine. And now he’s complaining because an AI controlled, elephant-sized, slow bear pet, with more-than-obvious animations hurt him bad…

Well, bears have the least telegraphed of all abilities seeing as how one is 100% instant and thus has no animation and the other one is a bite instead of a bear slap, but for the other pets you’d be right lol.

PS: I think 13k crit backstab thief is fine since it’s a super gimmicky one trick pony build that falls apart the second a bunker so much as farts in its general direction, the only thing it’s good for is killing the enemy zerkers, and even then if that thief makes the wrong move that zerker is gonna have thief for lunch.

I’m sorry but with this patch bearbow became extremely overpowered. The bear hit me for 7k and knocked me back. The ranger was triple signet shooting arrows from almost 2000 range. This is absolutely ridiculous. Triple signet bearbow ranger needs a Nerf

I get hit for over 10k routinely, please don’t think that 7k is huge… try being on this side and say that…

Bearbow Rangers are not OP.
