Guild Wars 2

i think over all today after twitch com is a mixed bag for rangers.
On one hand the druid spec is amazing , completely useless in current pve but sure to be a fav in raids and WvW in coming time , personally im salty because i hate playing healers and a healer isnt what i mained a ranger for but i can see the strengths and merits of the spec and at least i can look towards enjoyable specs from next xpac onwards.
On the new pets we are getting WOW thats all i can say im super pumped and this is the main thing that has made me smile today.
On the balance changes , i feel that the devs just dont get it to be honest.
The buffs are great dont get me wrong but for me the fixes they need to undertake arent about stacking more might or baseline condition damage . The devs need to acknowledge that the base ranger mechanics are broken and implement some serious fixes. From simple fixes like a realistic AOE surviveability for pets or being able to stow them without automatically coming out when going into battle to being able to actually use the abilities that a pet has instead of a broken AI choosing the useless time to cast them.
I love playing ranger i really do and i want to keep my pet , im certainly not one of the anti pets brigade, but it is broken and if its our MAIN mechanic that separates rangers from other classes it should be working.
Maybe not 100% as expected ( it is an mmo afterall ) but more that it currently is .
Finally i really want some kind of feedback from devs as to why interaction with the ranger community is so isolated compared to other classes , I wont mention specifics of a deleted article by a mmo news website.
Something needs to be done to improve communication, criticism and trust between the community and the devs in charge of our class , especially considering their history of how little the do communicate with us.
Anyway sorry for long post to anyone that has had interest in reading my opinion, so i ask you , all GW2 players your feed back aand especially ranger mains ,
where do you see state of ranger for HoT
