engineers -mini form
mesmers- self explanatory
elementalists – mist form. 1000 dodge moves.
warriors – that ignore pain thing.
guardian- way too many.
thieves – can take a crap on you while stealthed.
necromancers – 2 life bars and enough life steal to become jesus himself.

rangers – requires 30 trait points into marksman and wastes a utility slot which could be infinitely more useful woth another skill. no actually, the others all suck too.

we also have no escape abilities or chase abilities. except a greatsword which no one uses. and the 35 second CD 1 second daze on a shortbow

um are you joking? Rangers of all classes have the most ways to avoid/ negate damage in the game. We have far more varied dodges, and dodges with much shorter cooldowns than most of the other classes, as well as the 50% cooldown reduction on our standard dodge. If there is anything to complain about on ranger it isn’t a lack of damage negation.

If Ranger is truly good at anything, it’s evading damage.

  • Traited Sigil of Stone
  • Protect Me
  • Lightning Reflexes
  • Shared Anguish
  • Hide in Plain Sight
  • Primal Reflexes
  • Spike Trap
  • Entangle
  • Spider immobilize and Wolf AOE fear
  • 50% increased energy regen at all times
  • 2 seconds of protection every time you dodge
  • Axe 3, Shortbow 3, 4 & 5, Longbow 4 & 5, Greatsword 1, 3 & 5, Sword 2 & 3, Dagger 4 & 5

Aside from the weapon abilities, you can get all that in one build. Seriously, figure it out.

Well, technically it works out to more like a 25% reduction in the time between dodges, but it does stack with the loads of Vigor available to us as far as I know.

aside from protect-me, rangers have a lot of potential to dodge through vigor and we have lots of evades on our weapon skills. this is a little different from the other classes in that it will require a bit of skill to use well, and dont get me wrong, im a really bad ranger and cant use any of these well at all.

I’ve fled to the safety of my zerg with 2 thieves and a warrior on my butt in WvW and made it in one piece.

Ranger is the runner up in running away! And evades in general. Guess who beats us in this, our coveted we-do-it-gud category, much like they do in nearly every category?

Lol… /facepalm

Why grind dungeons? Only relevant content…
Why? Gives needed gear…
Why do you need this gear? To do dungeons… duh.
