Guild Wars 2

For me as a Druid, yes DH’s are an easy kill over time. However, It’s not the Longbow that works for me. The simple Staff with air and blood sigils and the damage of my pet that takes them down. As mentioned they can only hope support comes because the outcome against a good Druid equals death. I have been running Staff/Shortbow with generosity and purity sigils this season with great results. Never have liked longbow and will never use it in PvP

Maybe I’m an exception. I’m 50 and have been top tier every season.

Vipers would be a great choice if raiding was your thing. However, if your the more solo type doing general PvE stuff, I would go with Dire stats.

I did the testing and the math on this a long time ago. https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/ranger/Pets-DPS-tested/first#post6299540
When you’ll get lvl 80, exactly 21 marginal precision = 1% crit chance. It doesn’t allow for rational points of critical chance (you can’t have 50.1% crit chance, you either have 50% or 51%). You start with 916 precision on lvl 80 and 4% crit chance, so to know how much precision (P) you want for a desired amount of crit chance (X), the formula is P=916+21*(X-4)=832+21*X.

Below level 80, like you are, the maths are less clean and you gotta worry about upscaling and downscaling as well. The wiki as most of what you need to estimate it.

The expected damage formula is this one:

Expected damage = Base damage * (1 + (0.50 + (Critical Damage / 100)) * Critical Chance)

I am thinking on transferring from a NA server to a EU server just to play with different people after 4 years. I have my own guild which the members are me, myself and I. I wanted to know if the guild I created will be deleted when I transfer considering it was started on a NA server. Any help?

Another mess of a season brings in the question why did Anet only do a soft MMR reset. The introduction of solo and duo ques only, should have brought on a hard MMR reset. Why is the old MMR rating valid for solo and duo queue anyway? A lot of these people built up extremely high MMRs mainly through running full groups almost all the time. Listen to the players Anet, they are the ones who actually play this game and others games like this one. The players feedback (dismissing the crybabies) are the ones who can help you stop this game from falling into the fail category after only 4 years.
Does anyone else think this will separate the good and the bad players?

More discussion? WTH… Do you Anet realize how the pvp population has dissipated with this super long delay in season 5? With all the new games being released in time for the holidays I doubt you will get the population back. When is the tentative release of season 5. tell us already.

I was waiting to see if anyone else has brought this up, but I have not seen it yet. With the completion of this years PvP season, people received a Guild Challenger Decoration token. This token when turned in gives you the decoration and automatically puts it up in the Guild Hall. I don’t want to put it in the guild hall, but would rather have it in my home instance. Anyone else feel the same?

Rangers have been the most neglected class in the game since launch. In the past the only attention they received from Anet was NERF’s. Now that people just cant face roll rangers (druids), it’s all QQ. There really is no OP class at the moment, just a few OP skills which most classes have, all of which can be countered if you know the mechanics. As it has been said before, it’s just a learn to play issue.

What do you like about it? Nothing…
What do you think needs improving? Nothing
If needed, what would you change? Get rid of it
If needed, what would you add? A hut in it’s place
If needed, what would you remove? No needed.

All gimmicks like the trebuchet should be removed from sPvP.

Thank you for the props SmokeyJoe. It’s not that Druids are OP, it’s the fact I know how to play my class well and utilize the few viable skills we have. Knowing how to use CA is the key. Anyway, see you in game.

Alazol if that’s what you are running in PvP I surely hope it’s not ranked. If you are running that build in ranked you would be considered useless. I suggest you change to a viable build or change class.

I’ve done my own testing in the past which included trait changes, buffs, specs etc. The Lynx is top damage

Tomes of Knowledge my friend. Once you hit level 80, all tomes of knowledge you use will grant you spirit shards. I have 700 tomes of knowledge and use them for spirit shards when I need them.

Make it a capture the flag type of game, which spvp lacks right now

The best solution would be to make it a capture the flag type of game.

Ok, not to get on a big rant, but really, why do you Anet allow anyone under the level of 80 enter in to Ranked arena’s. Getting in there and finding out you are running with a level 2 and 3 who have never run their class before is so frustrating. There are solo and unranked which they can run. Which all says, if you don’t have a pre-made team, your sol.

We all know the rangers are broken and the fixes that were to be implemented have been put off till next year (read dev thread). But the ones that were suppose to be fixed are simply not. Example

Was hoping they would not make the same mistakes as other mmo’s (SWOTR, Rift. Warhammer and the such) that have come and gone. But, it seems like they are heading in that direction. There isn’t even any acknowledgement by Anet anywhere relating to players concern.

There are pages and pages of bugs especially with the ranger, 6 of the pet skills dont even work. I have yet to see any fixes to game play that really matters. I have yet to see any response from Anet to the issues being posted by players. I myself would rather see the game fixed then skins and lighting …. What are your plans (timeline, main focus) to address the bugs. Another video of mini pets doesnt help the cause to keep players around.

Wish I would have seen this before I bought the Sigil. It does not seem to work on my longbow. I know it has a 45 sec cooldown but It never proced after 5 min of crits.
