Commander Lainy Quickstep here, I would personally like to say. /dance every time i see you. you will know im there ^.^ and furthermore, and i mean this in a very respectable manner… ima getcha again…and again…and again… until you learn to STAY OFF MY MAP!!!!! see you later Ronny, Good Luck!!!

I 2nd this!

Bailey.6892:

Pets should be dumped until the company can get some better coding for pet management and address the major flaws of pets that other here have pointed out.

Also why is it that aerial pets cant actually fly? From ledge to ledge, down from a keep wall or up to a keep wall. Right now pets are just poor coding.

I agree. And the flying pets don’t fly because it would be OP to just send your pet over the wall as a BM and just tear at people for large amounts of damage. i know its stupid but it makes sense.

Shiren.9532:

We need to automatically close these threads. Rangers are the pet class. Deal with it. Please stop bumping these threads.

They ruined the class, they basically made a WoW hunter that is completely reliant on a pet to do dmg and survive. And I would gladly switch to another class if any of them were good with bows, and i know there is other build with melee, and such and i’ve used them, and the pet is still a large requirement of damage/survival and dies in like 2 hits if your not deep into BM., but we all know that ranger are and will always be superior with a bow. Period.

BroScientist.9875:

They need to look at how other games handle the ranger class. I believe in WOW the hunter class has an option to stow pet in exchange for a slight stat boost.

GW2 Ranger = WoW hunter with only BM Spec

Sebrent.3625:

It’s very simply. The Ranger’s current incarnation requires use of/reliance on Ranger pets.

If you don’t like this, your options are:

(1) Stick with the Ranger and learn to live with it … maybe even learn to like it

(2) Stick with the Ranger in the hopes this will change … but don’t hold your breath

(3) Play a different class. There are plenty of classes out there to choose from; all with their own pros/cons

Show me another class that can use a bow and be efficient with it other then just using it for AoE in this game other then ranger.

Changing a class’s play style completely from the Classic is non-sense. Its also annoying having a pet that is A good portion of your damage and dies in 2 secs unless your Build revolves around, and are forced to use it. Ranger had a unique hook already before, they were and still are the class that has the best use out of bows. And i never said Rangers would only use bows, their best use is with one……. Make sure your comment is valid before you criticize someone.

ocfallwind.4821:

I like the idea of having a pet. That’s why I have decided to have a ranger as a main before launch and he still is.

The problem is how inefficient the pets are at certain situations. Merely in PVE the pets aren’t that bad. But at dungeons, pvp and wvw they become horrible. Those are the parts that need to be worked on.

Necros also have pets as well, but their pets are a choice as it was in gw1 for Necros. When Rangers are the only class that was originally based around bows and has best use with a bow, it’s sad to see you forced to use a pet. When pets get 1 shot if your not 20+ in bm and is a big variety of your damage at its current stand point. Your pet shouldn’t be required, should be like a Necro where you have the choice of pet or not as in GW1.

runeblade.7514:

A ranger without a pet is an underpowered warrior or thief.

It’s called reworking the class…..

Jazenn.7526:

They intend pets and minions to be killable, that’s how they want it. You have to work to keep them alive, or enjoy the brief help you do get. Ranger class is based around taking care of two characters at once. One is obviously more important than the other though (the ranger).

The thing is, they shouldn’t be pet based and shouldn’t require to take care of 2 characters. It should be a choice.

Kellnor.5428:

Over the last couple of months we’ve all seen an increasing number of complaints….

“Ranger’s are so useless in wvw! OMG Rangers need to be totally rebuilt! Traps! Spirits! WvW! F2 skill! Axes!” We’ve all heard it. We know what the common complaints are….

This isn’t to say there aren’t problems, of course there are. But there are problems with every class.

So what I’m wondering….are there any other rangers out there who take pride in the fact that they are Rangers? Are there any other Rangers out there who dont just coast by in sPvP or WvW, but who feel they excel?

If you’re a Ranger’s who really does know your class and want you want to shout out “IM A RANGER AND LOVE IT!!!” Or if you’re new to the class and but still realize you picked the BEST class…..

This thread is for you

Rangers do need to be rebuilt, its not like they were in GW1 they are more like Druids now then a ranger. Pets shouldn’t be passive. And I’ve been a Ranger since GW1, and you?

Ranger weren’t originally a pet based class, it used to be a choice. They need to make it so that you don’t passively have a pet as a Ranger in GW1. They have Elementists with 4 “stances” and Warriors with a different class special for every Main Hand weapon. They could do this easily and make it so Rangers are not pet based like a “Druid”.

Ranger weren’t originally a pet based class, it used to be a choice. They need to buff pets, i completely agree. But they need to make it so that you don’t passively have a pet as a Ranger as in GW1. They have eles with 4 “stances” and Warriors with a different class special for every Main Hand weapon. If they could do this they could easily make ranger not be pet based like a “Druid”.
