The really sad thing is I already have a full suit of crafted exotic gear… I only do these dungeons to make my armor look less horrible (Crafted armor for rangers is atrocious looking) and I get the shaft like this…
Considering how pointless the runs around I would think you guys would put some effort into making people want to do them… seems to be the opposite happening the last couple patches.
I was upset when I got only 30 tokens when I should have gotten 60… If I had only gotten 1 I would have flipped
So I completed the CoF dungeon today for the first time in probably 3 or 4 days… According to the patch notes today I should have gotten 60 tokens… BUT of course I did not. I got 30 tokens. Three other people in my group who also have not completed this dungeon in a few days got 30 tokens, 45 tokens, and 60tokens… Please tell me how this makes sense?
I would create a bug report but as I have found out in the past they wont replace items even if it is a bug on their own end. OH and by the way the new tokens do not stack with the old ones… because I didn’t already have issues with bank / inventory space.
Trying to force me to buy your gems and expand my inventory?

I agree people should play what they like and what suits them but that does not change the fact that the longbow is weak.
In no situation should the longbow auto attack for less damage than my shortbow. I dont care how close or far away from the enemy I am that should never happen. Yeah there are times where I will get a nice crit auto attack with my long bow at max range for 2 – 3k ( I am assuming a low toughness / Armor build ) but combine that with the amount of times my auto attack misses because the target is strafing side to side I am doing much less damage. On the very same target I can auto attack with my shortbow 3 or 4 times for about 1k – 1.3k crit damage in the time it would take me to get my long bow to fire another shot.
The only reason I use a long bow ever in WvWvW is because of the barrage ability. This is the only real AE ability ranged get and without that ability 90% of the honor badges I currently have would have never dropped for me. The amount of damage barrage does compared to other classes AE’s is pretty crap as well.
Any rangers ever get the “Obstructed” message when you are firing at a target that is out in the open in plain sight… nothing blocking them or in the way for my shots to be obstructed?
I feel like this happens far too often especially when i pop Quickening Zephyr on my shortbow or use Rapid Fire on my long bow.. the first 3 or 4 shots on Rapid Fire do nothing because the target is “Obstructed” by some invisible anti ranger wall… Our damage is already fairly low compared to other classes and to top it off bugs like this drop it even lower.
Im sitting at about 2300+ power enough precision and to get me to 48 – 50% crit chance and about 90%+ crit damage. Other classes are able to pump or higher auto attack numbers than I am on single targets and higher AE numbers than I can even do to a single target. Taking skill out of the equation I have pretty close to the best gear you can get at this point minus a legendary weapon which is a small boost in damage if anything and any other class can out perform damage wise and utility wise… again this is just based on pure class mechanics not taking into consideration any skill that play may or may not have.
There are situations where I will go 1v1 and take out a warrior or a thief without issue but thats just because that player was terrible. Most of the time I will notice things he messed up on or should have done differently that would have guaranteed my death. take 2 equally skilled players 1 a ranger and 1 of any other class… in most situations the ranger will lose. Yeah I can pop my 6second signet invulnerably and then pop my other 6 second invulnerably where my pet takes damage and maybe win because i spent 12 seconds being invulnerable but then i’m screwed until those are back off cool down which is a pretty decent amount of time.
I love my ranger I really do and I will continue playing it but we do need some work. I feel like it is easier for them to buff us than to nerf 7 other classes.
