Guild Wars 2

Dardamaniac.1295:

I personally try as hard as i can to find a new build..
But im not dat good,im a casual,there are Rangers really good (Battosai) who are trying too and still cant find anything better.You can always go a hybrid condition build but still doesnt provide the support spirits do..

Rangers were always lacking in power builds.First was Traps,BM and now Spirits all of them are focused in Condition dmg..You want to know why?Cause Rangers are having less power multipliers cause they have pets and some of their dmg is split to their pets.But condition dmg cant be split,you do the same dmg as anyone else…So thats why Rangers are always forced to build for condition dmg,cause their 40% power dmg is an AI,thats randomly do skills whenever are on CD and misses…AND WE CANT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT…
The good point was that when i get back to spirits i felt that i had increase my skill…

I am a ranger as well, and I know how that stupid AI can be a great pain to deal with. But still, I don’t think this will make spirit build as the only viable option for rangers. I agree that power builds are not quite applicable right now so I am running condition build as well. But other than going spirits there are still many other ways to go, both in traits and utilities. So those choices are right before you, and if you just simply choose to follow, if not copy that build, what would you do after this build is changed? Construct one youself? Honestly I don’t think many will do this over find another build to “follow”.

As I said, I encountered many spirit rangers in my pvp games and many of them aren’t playing well. Many of them are simply pressing every skills after summoning those spirits, does this make them better and happier? I don’t think so. If you think skills would come with a build then you are probably doing it wrongly. Maybe you think pets are limiting your performance and style, but if you chose to stay with ranger this is something you should deal with before arenaNet do something about it. Otherwise pets should not be the reason for you go spirit.

To be honest, I am not blaming those players who “digested” the build and play it probably, but those simply copy the build as I stated before. You can really see the differences and distinguish them when you play.

Same weapon set.
Same utility skills.
Same traits.
Yet many of you just copied it from the internet and rarely know how to play it properly.

Rangers please stop this madness and try other builds.

Gamemodes are the least of their worries. I hope they add in more in the future, but atm their core mechanics are making the pvp scene less than enjoyable. And we’re still missing features that simpler pvp based games even have.

Agree. Actually what I would like to ask is whether there will be something significant introduced into PvP, instead of just adding one map.

I started playing GW2 since its release, and I play both PvP and PvE but the time spent I would say is sth like 7:3. After playing for a year and seeing there are a lot of new stuffs in PvE (~every 2 weeks), I am ok with that. But when I look at PvP which I spent most of my time in, I would say this is just unacceptable.

I sincerely want to know if arenaNet is going to make some new modes for PvP, e.g. those capture-the-flag or whatever new PvP “mode” (not “map”) ? Or can I assume that Pvp will be remain the same in foreseeable future, say 1 year?

I am not sure if this is the intended result of arenaNet, but this frustrated me. Is this the balancing made to make all class at the same situation after being turned into a moa bird? This sound a bit ridiculous to me everytime when I was turned into that moa, my pet vanished lol.
