This patch sucks. I’m tired of being a RANGEr with a LONG bow that is the slowest moving target in combat, with no real range advantage, (now Thiefs can Scorpion up to 1200? really?) in leather no less. I had hoped to be a ranged dps style character, but I’m too slow and everyone just chases me down and the roflstomping begins lol. 10% move speed signet does nothing as far as I can tell… Good solo farmer, but not much in the way of group buffs so not wanted in dungeons…
I’m sorry that I’ve made certain assumptions about the class based on just about every other game I’ve ever played, but that will happen. Maybe that’s why there’s 11 pages of complaints about this patch. It’s because we don’t understand how the Devs expect us to play the class in GW2 and we’re doing it wrong.
Please Devs, tell us clearly how you see this class being played to it optimum potential. Is this class not meant to be played as a main, but rather as an occasional support role or farming toon?
I don’t want to melee. I have 1 lvl 80, my Ranger. If that toon is going to continue to suck I won’t be playing much.
THERE IS A REASON THAT I HAVE NEVER COMPLETED A DUNGEON IN THIS GAME
True story.

Wow. One page of fairly tame posts vs. 10+ pages of tears in the Ranger forums. I was hoping that was a common reaction to the patch in all the class forums but I guess not.
Just one more thing before I go to bed sorely disappointed…
You said you need to focus on “things you know you can fix”
Let me give you a short list of things I KNOW you can fix. Today. Now. That would take you 10 minutes of coding and would have a massive impact. We’ll test it for you.
• Longbow/shortbow projectile speed. You don’t need to test it. You’ve got faster projectiles in game. Increase ours so our shots actually hit moving targets in PvP. The greatsword change is appreciated… but the VAST majority of Rangers love bows and want to use bows. Side stepping against a ranger in PvP negates 50% of their longbow damage. Side step back and forth and it negates 100%. Leet strats.
• Base movement speed of pets. Increase it. 20%. Do it now. Our pets will start to actually hit moving targets. I promise this won’t break your game. They will still die ridiculously fast in WvW, but at least they might get one or two hits off instead of zero. It’ll have next to no impact in PvE. Please do it right now.
• Signet of the Hunt. Increase it to 25% movement speed. Do it now. It won’t break the game. Thieves have it now and it would mean we have an actual useful signet on our hotbar. Don’t test it. You already tested it for thieves. Just do it right now.
That’s it. Those 3 items. 10 minutes of coding. Would give us 1000% more love then what you’ve given us today.
And make us on par, even by a slight amount, with one of the two chosen classes? Madness!!! Next thing you know, you’ll be asking for spirits to be unkillable like banners. Where does it end?!
Great post. I agree completely.
How about maybe just auto-completing for anyone entering the zone for now until a fix is available? This is getting old.
Please fix these, needed for completion.
Still happening.
