Guild Wars 2

Of all professions that needed more power added to them, thieves received Torment. Why didn’t Rangers get this capacity to offset a little bit of the nerf to our pets?

Do you think we should have gotten this skill too?

Rangers don’t get Torment. They get tormented (via needless nerfs).

Rangers have access to a lot of conditions already, thieves had access to bleed and posion, mesmers applied mostly random conditions apart from bleeding and confusion. I can see how that might give them more build variety, or at least something to play with. Having said that, they are 2 of the more mobile classes, utitilizing Torment the best probably, and 2 of the classes that can give Rangers a ton of trouble. As Morpheus put it “Faith it seems, is not without a sense of Irony”. But I can see fear necro being very powerful with burn and torment added. They also gained 50% crit in deathshroud, so life blast power builds will come up as well.

Rangers can already apply every single condition in the game via their pet combos, it’s only a matter of time until we get a pet that makes sense for torment to be applied from, i’m guessing it’ll be a type of spider, or some other such poisonous animal.

Thieves could apply poison, and bleed, and their source of bleed application was just nerfed TO THE GROUND.

As for mesmers, lol it was added to scepter AND it was only added to their block skill, when they actually block a skill, saying that it’s going to do much for them is just silly, it only punishes idiots.

Well I’m sorry, I didn’t have time to try it out on a mesmer, I was busy reading the qq in the ranger forums.
