Guild Wars 2

I agree with all of you, I probably had different expectations thus being dissapointed in how it really is, I guess I shouldnt bash longbow since its not actually bad at all maybe the core problem is ranger doesnt have much longbow skills to offer thus being considered a little weak, however i did try ranger and gave him a bit of time and I must say he is a good balance between dmg and survivability if played properly

Thanks for sharing your time providing proper answers, I may be wrong about the condition LB is atm and most people might be happy with its current state, but its no denial that meta druid builds are being forced down our throats.

I just hope they dish out the option of an archer ranger that is viable in terms of damage, honestly even a slight LB attackspeed increase would do, its just so lackluster atm i cant dish out enough damage to even keep enemies under pressure, and I’ve also watched a lot of good ranger players they are all forced to roll into druid metabuilds, I personally detest the druid elite spec and spells since its support oriented, maybe all i want is a more selfish archer build that relies more on himself rather than teammates, I would even accept a spec where you remove ur pet to boost LB SB dmg and etc. Looking at the soulbeast spec thats coming up they’re trashing the ranged even more and forcing the ranger to go into melee which is so controversial with the profession, All in all ranger and druid should probably be 2 different professions since their style differs enormously, packing up an archer / druid spec is just paradoxal, rangers should be focused on staying out of range and dishing maximum dps with their ranged weapons, while druid is more of a nature type mage (shaman) that interferes with spirits nature and etc.

Hello everyone I’m a relatively new player in guild wars 2, I use to play range ( archer/bow) classes in every mmo, around a week or so I managed to get my ranger to lvl 80 and started doing PvP, WvW and etc. And that my dear ranger friends is where the total kittenFEST began (sorry for my language) I cant seem to understand no matter how much i bash my head and think, why the hell does a class named Ranger absolutely SUCK at range fighting and has a garbage amount of damage, having a warrior or thief class managing to put out more dps with a bow / ranged weapon than a RANGER is an extremely crap situation which makes the whole class useless, why would u make a ranger class and focus it on greatswords and short range weapons while dealing a kitten amount of long range damage it just bothers me no matter how much I think of it, also I’ve been checking the ranger forums for quite a while to see how the game staff communicates with the playerbase, and to be honest from all the online games I’ve played I’ve never a game ignore his community as much as this one does, 0 replies, 0 considerations taken from forums and threads and obviously no attention to what the players want. I’d be very happy if I’m wrong, so if you have any arguements to prove me wrong with I’d accept them, but if you’re gonna bash me dont bother
