I pulled it off wearing knight’s armor, full zerker accessories, and used a short bow. Pet died, but I did it myself.
I asked for help on what to do and this video was very helpful:
Of course…but sadly, the ranger isn’t a profession that has the ability to do that. Our profession mechanic is so closely tied with the basics of the character that stowing it turns it into a whole other profession. A warrior is still a warrior whether or not it chooses to use it’s f1, a ranger isn’t a ranger without the pet. Just how the profession was designed. I am not defending it’s design, they clearly had no clear idea of what the ranger was going to be…so it ended up being the ‘pet class’. Just wish they had put more thought into it /sigh
In gw1 they allowed us to leave the pet behind, but in gw2 it has become technically part of the class. I wish that we could perma stow the pet at times because when I am running through an area and my pet gets hit I slow down. I kinda wish that they would let us customize our pet’s stats so we could have them suit our needs, but that means overhauling the system. I understand that rangers are a ‘pet class’ but I wish the pets were something that we could take more pride in as something that is unique to our profession, rather than a burden.
1. Make your own group, the reason that people don’t like rangers is because there are bad rangers that run bear bows in dungeon and only use range attacks when melee does more.
2. I have no idea why people like running this build, but I prefer going in with a greatsword and smashing things.
3. Not gonna lie my pets are not as smart as I want them to be, but it has become better compared to how it was early on.
4. I use a feline and a drake which can take hits and deal damage, but I can agree that they could be a bit sturdier.
5. Yeah even though we are rangers I don’t like using bows since the damage is not amazing and the skills are something I don’t like.
6. I do miss gw1 approach of having us opting to use a pet or not.
7. I like coats, but then again I look like an armored mecha angel.
I run a build using an axe/warhorn, greatsword, skirmishing: furious grip, nature magic: IX, and superior runes of fury on my armor and I have noticed that sometimes when I switch weapons, use the warhorn skill “Call of the Wild” or the elite skill “Rampage as One” I do not gain more fury at times. I am a level 80 human ranger and I was solo farming in the cursed shore map and I was noticing this.
So this is the build that I run mainly run out in the world and I was wondering what you folks here think about it and or what I can do to improve it. I also have a question that if the greatsword is traited this way would the damage be considered on par with that of a sword?
3) Attack animations. I’m looking at you sword auto attack chain. Well this has been acknowledged and hopefully we will see some resolve which’ll increase ranger viability.
I don’t really mind the rooting on the sword, but my problem is that hornet sting has a pause like moment before it activates. When I go through Sorrow’s Embrace pt 1 when I fight the final boss what always gets me downed is because hornet sting does not immediately activate.
