End of the day I love WvW Zerging as a Power Ranger, but just because it’s easy and generates a whole slew of QQ. As a class Ranger is pretty broken is most aspects and what comes natural for most other classes is a hard grind and a struggle for the ranger class – and most people who don’t play one KNOW that and that’s why they’d never use it(not because it’s EZMode as someone you just smacked would say).

In fact if someone says Ranger is EZ mode you could reply with:

‘Says the Warrior’
‘Says the Guardian’
‘Says the Engineer’
‘Says the Thief’

Respectively.

We’re pretty much lunch for anyone with a mediocre skill to their play with a Power Build and we won’t win a 1v1 unless A) They Bad or We got the jump on them. In PvP though Power Ranger is really horrible and shouldn’t be used.

Apparently it isn’t that easy to avoid because these threads pop up almost daily. The only thing that happens next is you get infractions when you call them on their bull kitten.

It’s very hard to avoid if you don’t know basic Stealth mechanics, how to use block/evasions or if you blew all your defensive CDs earlier and only use Zerk gear.

Basically if you played like a chump and got chumped then you come to the forums to QQ.

Engineer QQing because they got spanked by a Power Ranger.

That said, if Rangers were fixed across the board or we just broke all the other classes so they are as poor as Rangers then I’d be happy to nerf Rapid Fire.

Until then WvW for more QQ!

Not to mention Engi is actually one of the best counters to ranger, right next to defensive condition necro, Knight set Warrior (Armor 3300+ high damage too), and perplex condition thief.

They have higher mobility than ranger, lots of block, and numerous condition to melt ranger down. Also their conditions are completely unaffected by the range, so they can go as close to ranger as possible.

I’m just getting back into the game and the class has mostly gimmicky things in WvW or PvP from the Power Ranger to those Perma Chillers. The most effective spec seems to be SB/? with a focus on pure condition burst, but even that has some pretty hard counters to get past and most matches are very long – even then you are subpar to your other party members and are mostly there for back-up and support.

Engineers are one of the best counters to any Ranger and absolutely stomp and kitten on the class. Comparison wise we’re a joke – our ranged is inferior, our spirits to their turrets are a paper dolls and our pet system is very weak in most environments.

The fact that this was an Engineer coming here to complain is what made this whole thing so enjoyable to read. The only fun I see for a Ranger right now is to go Power Ranger and incite fits and rampages of QQ because they don’t have the skill to deal with one EASILY avoidable ability.
