This perception you have that ranger is “overpowered” is wrong. It’s so wrong it’s like saying that the sun is not a star.

Therefore, your question, “will [rangers] every be balanced?” Is a weird one to answer. Will they every be balanced? Yes. Hopefully, It will come in terms of utility skill adjustments, trait adjustments, elite adjustments, and pet adjustments. However, in no way shape or form would ranger be “nerfed”. That would mean balance.

What you meanto be asking is, “I am bad, I would like ranger to be unjustifiably nerfed. Will that ever happen?” The answer to this is, maybe. Anet still has not fully decided how they want to balance their game. If they are smart, then the answer will be no. This is because balance will be done around “top tier” PvP and things like PvE will be balanced around those PvP changes by changing the PvE (ie NPC fight mechanics).

Your other question asking if anyone has any info on when they will balance ranger? Well, no one has any info.

In the mean time, since things shouldn’t change. You just have to learn to play better. Good luck.

Sure, rangers do good at dispatching single targets from range. Quite a shock that a weapon that was intended to do that does that. Oh, and this game isn’t even balanced around that though. Let’s say in the more intended style of play often involving multiple players, are rangers so OP? How well does a ranger last under sustained pressure from multiple people focusing it? (Not burst, mind you). But yes they are overpowered because they can just vanish and exit the battle. I definitely think ranger permastealth and extreme mobility needs to be nerfed a bit. The class should be completely helpless after using their defensive cooldowns and being cc’d. Oh wait…

For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards,
for there you have been and there you will long to return.

Two things:
1 – Rangers aren’t OP now, only thing that happened is that you can’t ignore ranger’s damage anymore.
2 – With the history of the ranger updates, sooner or later we’ll get a nerf for sure, not sure where, but we’ll get one.

counting zerker LB ranger takes literally the elemental knowledge of the game.
basically you have only to dodge RF or somehow get reflection and zerker ranger goes down in 2 seconds.

Fact: Only thief receives nerfs to overpowered builds due to forum Q.Q.

Result: Be not afraid if you are a ranger. You may get tweaked once every 6 months though.

Rangers won’t be nerfed, they still need to be buffed to be brought on par with other classes. The LB alone needs a solid 50% damage buff.

But they likely wont improve it since so many people rage with rapid fire. Me? I think what needs a buff is our pets.

Well, more of a fix than direct buff, their AI sux, they’re not able to attack a lot of things in this game (objects, some world bosses etc.) and their attack are so slow that they miss in PvP/WvW so much it’s unbearable….

The sPvP tier thread (https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/pvp/SPVP-Tier-List) is interesting since it’s a poll rather than a discussion thread (which are are hard to get a feel from since some people are too vocal and skew the discussion).
Looks like people don’t believe in the supposed overpoweredness of rangers (current leading ratings are S(top) for ele,engi, A(above avg) for war, thief and B(avg) for ranger, guard, necro, mesmer).
Assuming the devs feel the same way, nerfs are at least 2 balance patches away: like, if they buff some aspect of the ranger too much in the next balance patch.

Not necessarily, unfortunately if the Developer’s receive enough feedback in the direction of nerf ranger they are likely to go with it. Enough non-ranger tears can really change their minds.

Pets have been hidden due to rising Player complaints.

I wrote “should”, see? So actually I took into consideration a situation you mentioned here
I’m aware of that not everything is nerfed rightfully, felt it so many times with characters I play, even in different games unfortunately…

Rangers were nerfed into oblivion on 6/25/13 adding to our reputation of being useless. Pets, bows sucked, only viable weapons were/are swords.

So to the OP, L2P if you can. Every class has it’s strengths and weaknesses. Figure it out dude.

This is weak. Rangers have so many deficiencies as is. Here’s an idea, dodge it and close the cap. It’s ridiculous that rangers get a buff and finally have aren’t laughably weak and everyone who cannot adjust cries. Condition removal is next to none unless we stand in a circle and let somebody aoe us to death. Before you QQ about a class needing a nerf, try playing it first to understand what is sacrificed to do those burst damage hits.

Ranger – Too many rangers using Longbow – We are adding a tell of the animation for the Point Blank skill and the projectile has a purple color to distinguish it from autoattacks.

That’s what was needed.

now the class will be too hard for the bandwagon noobs

Too many Rangers using longbow should be a sign to them that the other weapons suck. Not that the class is overpowered. I’m fine with the announced change though.

Hopefully it’s a sign that they’ll look at the other weapons and improve them as opposed to nerf Longbow further much in the same way they nerfed Shortbow so Longbow would feel more special.

That nerf to point blank shot sounds too mild to change things (and doesn’t affect PvE balance, which is probably intentional), and if the devs say they’re out for the longbow (edit: oops, that not what they said), count on another nudge downwards in the future.
