pro/con of this class?
1 2
The biggest con is that we have pro/con threads. The Ranger has to be the class with the most misinformed players, and if you want facts, look no further than the ‘bearbow’ stereotype.
Also, 25% movement speed isn’t mobility. GS IMO is a subpar weapon, so the only mobility we have is sword. I hesitate to call that mobility as I have never seen anyone actually doing the trick, as it requires two precise about faces (or macros). Run any other weapon and your mobility is lightning reflexes…which isn’t meant for mobility.
But honestly, it saddens me a bit to see the beginner stereotype attached to Rangers. Maybe for PvE…but really, is it possible to be bad at PvE? Go to WvW, and you become the target, 100% of the time. Even if you are 1v1, have fun stalemating shatter mesmers or slip up once and get facerolled by a hambow. That’s the Ranger.
how is it complicated?
u tap that face thing button to turn around, sword 2, then turn ur camera, for again sword 2?
on mesmer its face , staff 2, face
r u srs
Whoops, you just lunged right back at your target because you didn’t mash ESC to detarget. Better luck next time…
And if he had his target behind him already, he could have pressed 2 immediately to leap away from it, so he wasted time doing the about face, reducing the value of said ‘mobility’.
Our Sword 2 is a capricious kitten.
