first of all sorry if this has been asked before, i can’t find much with this forums search feature or google
is there anywhere that i can see a server’s average peak times? during the only time i can play with my brother, the server i am currently on is pretty dead and we can rarely even find groups for dungeons.
You should have no problem as a ranger in dungeons generally. I have not run every dungeon or every explorable mode, but I have not had too much trouble in the ones i have run with a full set of the blue explorer gear. I have been using the longbow and the shortbow…the key thing is to just keep your distance if you are a glass cannon and knockback/slow an enemy or two until your pet or someone else gets them off of you. Explorable dungeons will definitely be easier if you trait into the vitality or toughness lines or use such armor.
But I really just can’t beat them. I try stuff every day, I can’t beat any of the CoF paths and I even failed TA story today… No clue what I’m doing wrong.
im pretty sure basic attack damage is only based on the dmg of your main hand weapon, so getting about the same dmg for half price would also be an issue
Nah man, rangers are great for dungeons. Healing spring, extremely high dps on mobs, spirit support, the elite heal/revive support, trap support, and more…
i just dont see how any of this helps when i get 2 hit by the majority of mobs
I’m currently maining ranger, lvl 80 with exotic shortbow, coat and pants, the rest are rares.
I realize rangers are best suited for PvP, but I really want to be able to get the armor skins from dungeons, and dungeons seem like they could be really fun, but I can’t do them. The only dungeons I’ve completed are AC, CM, CoF, and Arah story modes, and 1 path of CM exp (don’t remember which one, but it was rough). I’m constantly trying to complete exp modes in dungeons but I can never beat them, and I often feel like being a ranger is weighing my group down. My pet doesn’t tank well, and i feel like in events with lots of mobs, for example the protect Magg room in CoF, after dodging 3-4 times I just get 2 hitted and become useless. Building glass cannon I barely do more dmg than a warrior for example, and I don’t last nearly as long. I’ve tried a bit tankier build, and I did so little dmg that I was basically worthless again.
Is there something that I am missing, or are rangers really just a burden in dungeons?
Also, with some of the changes, the dungeon tokens are now account bound so I could make a character specifically for dungeons. If I was gonna do that, which profession would be best for farming dungeons?
When you use sharpening stone it basically gives you a buff where your next 5 attacks apply the bleed. When you reach 75% health, you just get that buff, and if you use both at the same time, i’m sure your next 10 attacks will bleed.
i’m 99% sure that it is 2 seperate chances, because that’s how it works in every game i’ve played and asked the same question
and @ azizul, that really didn’t add anything to this thread, and you can’t always be in a flanking position
yea pets are pretty sad, i just use a spider and press f2 whevener its ready for the immobilize, other than that i dont expect anything from it, if my spider dies i switch to bear and just let it do its thing, hoping that is anything
i’d be happy if pets were just removed and rangers were given a slight buff (even if that is just a good #3 skill while downed)
Not a cheat you can buy a item in the gem store that you can use in wvw pvp to rez yourself.
That item can only be used in PvE, and I’m 99% sure I’m talking about the same item you are.
If a team was good enough to take over the entire map, what’s going to stop them from doing so again? It’s really hard to 100% a map unless you’re completely overwhelming the other teams in numbers and coordination. If you’ve got 100% of a map, you’re dominant in a way that doesn’t depend on your holdings.
So a map reset is most likely to just result in the dominant team taking the map over again and again, which does very little except give them more money, karma, and xp for capping all of those points.
Is that not funner than spawn camping? At least it gives the losers chances to use different strategies and whatnot.
I’m sure it’s obvious to everyone that it’s not fun getting spawn camped and it’s not fun spawn camping. When one team owns 100% of the map, something has to change.
My suggestion is that when a team owns 100% of the map, they get extra points (3000 for example) and the map resets, maybe with the winning team owning Stonemist.
Thoughts?
