Guild Wars 2

Zenos Osgorma.2936:

de-targeting changes a lot the skills 2,3 become much more useable and you don’t have to jump- back directly away from the target you can de-target Angle yourself and go a different way.

the sword maybe the highest dps weapon we have right now because of its unique play style it allows and honestly its one of the highest skill floor weapons to control in the game.

a lot of the experienced sword users find no issues in using it , only those that can’t see past the rooting have issues.

go into the mists and practice like the rest of us , practice the De-target jumps and roll timing you have to remember Ranger maybe able to use Melee weapons and do good with them but at the core they are skill a Skirmish class so things won’t be instant as you’d want them to be.

You can use the ‘mad because bad’ argument all you want, it doesn’t change the fact that it’s a kittenty animation. So, I’m glad you’re a such a superior player and all that, congratulations, but it’s still clunky and unresponsive.

The Ranger sword is part of the ‘meta’ build. It’s the highest DPS potential for Ranger. Yet, almost every Ranger I’ve seen, including myself, hates to use it because of the godawful rooting animation for the auto-attack.

I don’t understand why this hasn’t been addressed by now. It’s not conducive to fluid combat, it hurts the class (figuratively and literally, love when it tosses me off a cliff), and it doesn’t fit the theme of the ranger sword, which is a lot of mobility. The 2 and 3 skill are both a kind of ‘stick-and-move’ type of attack, yet the main attack keeps you stuck in place, forcing you to be front and center. This also negates the flanking and moving traits in the skirmishing line.

How many gems do I need to buy for you to dedicate someone to fixing this? I am begging here. Especially since I just bought the gallant sword (great skins!) and would really love to use it but the horrendous animation makes me never want to use it in combat.

As usual when they patch. Might as well include it in the patch notes at this point. ‘Players will now be disconnected constantly until we do about 5 hot fixes within the next 5 days’. What a joke.

No, I was not in WvW, I was in Lion’s Arch. Dye preview screen LOOKED fine until I change one dye color on my Sylvari T2 cultural armor. I changed one square to a lighter blue and all my armor in the preview screen took on the same color. The colors were correct on my actual character, just wrong in the preview window.

Happened again on my human tier 3 cultural armor, also in Lion’s Arch on my ranger. Dyed one square celestial and the entire armor set turned white, despite showing the correct colors in each square.

It’s broken, along with about 100 other things. Fantastic QA work as always Anet.

Happened to me 4 times in under an hour.

Love the new scaffolding that took months to design. Love it. Would probably love it more if I hadn’t been DC’d and rolled back 4 times in under an hour, two of which resulted in lost loot from world bosses.

It’d also be nice if my longbow string ACTUALLY didn’t clip in 1st person view anymore.

And since you’re all about style, how about not having my character show up in monochrome in my dye preview window? Not that my Ele doesn’t look great in solid blue armor.

Literally JUST did this skill point and it worked fine on Fort Aspenwood.

However, Oola’s Skillpoint (also in Metrica Province) is broken here.

Sure, I’ll give it a shot.

And I don’t buy it. EVERY day I report the botters in Frostgorge Sound farming trolls, have been doing so for a month, and EVERY day I see the same ones there running in circles, ruining the economy.

Guess I’ll have to settle for repeatedly killing some with the champion mob.

Agreed on Fort Aspenwood. Also the last thing I need to finish this area.
