Guild Wars 2

You want to know what the biggest bug is? That everyday I see a post on your forums that rangers are the weakest class, and above all my guild and everyone on my server thinks the exact same thing. It kittenes me off that every warrior I see has the ability to say “I can defeat every ranger possible”, it makes me angry to see that every ranger in my guild has switched to warrior, and it definitely isn’t a ranger’s fault. EVERY RANGER IN MY GUILD IS SWITCHING AND PEOPLE KEEP GETTING KICKED FROM A DUNGEON PARTY FOR BEING A RANGER! AND QUITE FRANKLY IT’S kittenING ME OFF! THAT’S THE BIGGEST BUG IN THE GAME.

This is not a “game bug” in the sense that “rangers suck” the mentality is “warriors with swords using 100 blades are god”…. this is “user ignorance”…..

I joined a lvl 49 fractal the other day and a warrior in the party was asking me up and down, as a ranger about my build… he left party when it told him I was not sword / warhorn…

Many warrior players thing “auto attack and 100 blades” are the only skills needed…

I too suffer this pain, and it is not because rangers suck, it is because ignorant players suck… I recommend, if you find a party that kicks you because you are a ranger, you are better off for it…

Side note: Rangers who spam Long Bow 4 are a big part of this problem… I, on my ranger, have yelled at many other rangers who do this…
I hate to say it, but if the recharge of Long Bow 4 was longer, we would have a better reputation….

Ive mained a ranger for nearly a year.

They suck compared to almost every class in every department. Its not bad player mentality when the majority of our skills are rediculously inferior to similar skills for other classes. Nor bad player mentality that the traits are badly placed and badly designed. And its certainly not bad player mentality that our class mechanic can rendered useless for minutes at a time when no other class suffers the same handicap. And no other class has its normal outgoing damage shunted on to the class mechanic making our character weaker than every other class AS STANDARD.

The fact that it takes highly skilled players using specific builds for sPvP to make them “workable” in that mode alone doesn’t make them a good class, far from it.

No matter what way you slice it, rangers are very “buggy” because the design is flawed in its execution.

here again a real ranger bug!

spirits dont cast there active skills rly much time!
we lost to much time now a teamfight just because my kittening rez spirit dont cast his active.
and no there was 100% sure no blind interrupt or knock, this kittening spirits just dont start the animations and the skill is on cooldown then.

ANET create a ranger and try it in the mists or somewhere.
the rez spirit dont start the rez animation and go to cooldown-.-
and you guys think you have fix this bug with the 1 sec cooldown after cast.
gj job, but the bug is not fixed and you nerfed the ranger with this

Oidmetala is very correct on the spirit problems…

Many times I have seen the spirits not use their skills, even when traited for them to use skill on death, I have seen them just fall over dead. I actually don’t use this trait anymore because of the fact it triggers 50% of the time or less on death in “regular combat” If it just times out and dies it uses the skill rather normally.

I also get very frustrated with the rez spirit… which I have realized if tried to use right after spawning it… which is normally when i need it most, it will nearly always fail… I have gotten custom to spawning the spirit, counting to 5, then using the skill, it works a lot more constant with this practice.
