Guild Wars 2

Anyone else think this could be pretty huge for rangers?

For so long, in sPvP, one of Rangers’ biggest strengths (ranged DPS/control) has been pretty inconsequential since conquest revolves so much over crowding in a tight spot to keep a point contested.

If they put a decent amount of space in the new map, then the ranger could excel at the role of controlling enemy movement. Anyone who is knows the CripShot ranger build from GW1 will probably be familiar with this. This should at least put Rangers as strong counters to classes like Engineer.

Once the “stand in a spot and not die” format is replaced with something more interesting, ALL PvP builds will change drastically. I can’t even put forth a guess as to what things will look like when the new formats come out. Depends on the goals.
