more melee options?
Most probably the staff will be a replacement of the longbow. Looks like they will cut down the range, and by the video it looks like an energy blast (damage) .
My bet is that druid will be a support class, that the ranger lacks of.
If you are looking for a pure melee class, Why don’t you try a warrior or guardian?
A lot of people have been hoping for hammers because of GW1. Thematically I think that’s a bit weird since we’re supposed to be these dexterous scout type fighters, but then again we also have a 12 foot long 2-handed sword option.
My guess is the staff will be AoE. I’m not sure why people don’t think rangers have support, it just needs to be traited for. Full spirits was the PvP meta for a very long time, and we also have pet boons, “Guard!”, spotter, MT, etc.

After the nerfing within the spirits they become completely useless. Shouts with the right traits could be nice in paper (there is Master trait that gives regeneration + swiftness with every single shout). Unfortunately the healing is too low and the shouts CD is too high for the effect they give. Also most of them are broken.
It’s proven that right now the only playable builds for ranger are signets and survival. Any other is just people talking while they don’t play anymore with the ranger or they play only static world bosses.
What!? Trappers are out now?
I’m honestly asking, I’ve been in and out the game, I remembered it being pretty strong on PVP and WVW, on PVE… the cap on conditions…

Sorry, AND TRAPPERS. Traps are awesome, although there are a lot of problems with Trapper’s Expertise trait that fires before touching ground messing up the stealth but traps is also a way to go for the melee ranger.
You see, this class is completely broken, all the skills has bugs and issues that break their usability.

Man what are you talking about ? I can’t even tell if you are trolling here. Spirit ranger is not useless, it might be less effective than DD ele right now but it is still a valid option, as it is condi survival, trapper ranger and BM ranger.

You have me lost here, traps don’t trigger mid air, once the trap touches the ground it has a small delay before stealth kicks in (this way you can place a spike trap right under your target and still get the stealth), those runes are not available in PvP for the moment.
What is broken with this class ? name me 1 skill that has a bug that breaks its usability.

Spirit Ranger is still very strong and viable in small fight skirmishes, 2v2s etc which is why you still see them in the competitive 2v2 tournaments.

Traps are awesome,
While they are fun and add to the over all play-style of the Ranger I feel that traps are a major eyesore design-wise they have very little ‘out of the box’ functionality, but can be traited to be improved to the standards that most profession expect out of their utility skills.
Pets have been hidden due to rising Player complaints.
I always felt like the Axe should just be a melee weapon and they should introduce an additional ranged weapon for some classes (ranger and thief in particular) – something like a disc/chakram/boomerang.

that’s the feeling i get when i use axe, too. almost all of the skills associated with it are close quarters, or to keep your target in close quarters.
