Guild Wars 2

I quit after last non patch. I havent logged in. Ill check once in a while but for now Ill play Rift. I dont play any other class.

Please rename to:

Guild Wars seems to have lost all Rangers tonight

Topic says it all… really? With this last patch…. REALLY? LOL!

Agadar.4931:

I am utterly disgusted. Shouts are unchanged. Signets are unchanced. Spirits, even with the proc boost, still suck. Sword still roots you in place. Traits are still a total mess. Shortbow and longbow still have pathetic damage.

Where are our fixes, Jon? You lied to us.

BUT they got their “new” content out. Their priorities are bassackwards.

Pet Charge should be a skill all pets have… ever have a dog pissed at you? They don’t lope to you they charge you!

My friend is going through the same thing. Is there a solution?

I can do that next patch watch and see!

lol play a ranger and then see if you wanna post this garbage.

I have been using this build for awhile and even though i felt the shortbow nerf it really wasnt as big of a deal as most other builds.

http://www.gw2build.com/builds/simulator.php#1.6.10.3.0.21.35.31.0.32.133.135.134.144.151.9.4.29.0.0.0.394.398.401.411.413.417.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.30.30.5.5

I sometimes use entangle instead of RaO but I find entangle to be unpredictable.

have you guys tried this build or something similar? I especially love the fire combo field from the trap.

I use to run axe/horn offhand which is very nice in groupfights but recently switched to sword cause its so much easier to fight thiefs with a sword. and since 90% of your enemies in spvp are thiefs its really nice.
In tpvp or those rare matches with only a few thiefs I prefer axes

I changed to a defensive trap/torch build that can take out 2 or more in a group before they know what hit them.

So the pet feature is working to less than 18% (7 ranged pets out of 39 pets in total)? Cool, that’s almost what I’d call “ready for closed beta”.

Even if one accepted this “argument”, it still leaves

• the horrible pathing
• targetting limitations (ever seen a spider/devourer attack a target in a location the pet couldn’t walk to, e.g. up a wall or so? no? guess why)
• lack of responsiveness
• aoe vulnerability
• positioning issues (when you’re standing on a wall your pet always stands right at the edge facing the enemy to clearly tell them where they need to drop their aoes to hit you)
• weird aggro mechanics (sometimes your pet can hold aggro, sometimes it can’t – even when using the same skill rotation against the same mob type)

which are subpar.

I like how I can agree that pets need work, but the forum mopers will jump on anything I say that’s positive. I realize that the forums are generally used for whining, but this is getting ridiculous.

I CONCEDE! You’re all right and I’m wrong. The Ranger class is the worst class in any MMO ever. The only reason I ever get any kills in sPvP or W3 is because my opponent’s mouse batteries are always dying.

I think I’m just going to reroll Thief or Warrior. Rangers are terrible, this is the worst day ever, and my life is ruined. Boohoo!

I know its sarcasm but rings true….

Because it was a blast to play in Beta and if they would have told us they were going to NERF AFTER beta I would have either a) not play the game or b) started with a thief because its WoW all over gain.

I dont want to level another class up. Can I please have a one time class change? The SB nerf is too much. Beta is over. Game isnt that fun levleing to want to level another toon. I rather just quit.

Thanks to anets sb nerf- wth where they thinking? this has ruined the game for me now- I don’t want to be forced to play warrior/thief or mesmer but it seems those are the only ones with superb damage and here the ranger had the sb which was really only viable weapon and I logged in today to find it has been seriously nerfed -that 40 millisec is rubbish- I can see a HUGE difference!

This is anti bot nerf rubbish-thanks anet- I give up with this rubbish game and your backward punishing of players!

I came back from a trip this weekend to play lastnight and was like WTF something is wrong with my SB. Now I know. Whiners ruin every game. This game will be easier to quit than WoW because its not pay to play.

A level 80 in full exotics also has a huge advantage against a level 2 scaled to 80.

If you’re looking for balance, WvW isn’t. Try sPvP.

And when two 80s in the same gear fight, the one with more disposable income should not have higher stats as a function of his money.

It’s not like sPVP is balanced any better but this is just sad. Everyone who thought the game was going to be pay to win is right. These are not cosmetic, they don’t help save time for players without as much free time to farm/level up, they’re just there so people can pay money to get an unfair advantage.

So Im 6’ 200 lbs my opponent is 5’ 2" 135 LBS Im supposed to get on my knees to make it a fair fight?
