Stopped playing the game. Things were / are not moving. Devs are taking a break !
Ranger is dead since release. I was lied upon. I was deceived. Warning period is over.
Rest of Ranger community take care of yourselves <3
edit : Added pet’s Resurrection when Ranger uses the heal skill !
Further discussion …
Nice idea !!
Thnx
At least your pets are not linked class features so … yeah
My fingers are still crossed that the 30% missile speed buff will actually do anything. I’m not certain of the physics, but given the wide miss margins before, it seems to me like that should still allow somebody to strafe arrows without dodging at max (1200-1500) range.
Damage is technically the same because firing speed is the same. Just more likely to hit now.
^ this !
In other words, bows’ dps remains the same, while their respective reliability increases.
PS : As for the patch in general, i personally welcome the changes although nothing mind blowing was added (excluding SoHunt). Pets and spirits are still useless. Bow dps is still questionable (not to say mediocre). General concept of the profession still feels like it’s nowhere to be found. Tanky AD ? Wannabe support ?
My 2 cents …

i just think pets need to have some brains. I can be standing like 10 ft from a baddie and spamming F1 and the d-a-m-n pet just stands around like its looking for a spot to take a kitten or kitten And i dont like it that when i have auto attack, moving my mouse over an enemy and pressing F1 doesnt work. So i am force to attack first taking aggro for my pet!….maybe the pet is smarter then i thought!. At times, it can so stupid..it runs off to attack the further enemy rather then the closer one. CMON!…WTF. Like i said, they should give me the option to slaughter my animal and sell the slab of meat i get from it.
Already mentioned in the initial thread buddy, but cheers nontheless !
Ever Tried QZ with Rapid fire?
Every 60 – 45 seconds (if traited) i (try to) kill a guy !
Its damage may be decent but the cast time of the skill makes it practically unviable if not played with Quickening Zephyr. Finally the animation of the skill is so profound and blatant that its practically impossible for it to land properly.
Great Idea
+1 !
Did mention the “REROLL RANGER LULZ” viable option we still do have and got infracted.
It makes me sad we keep putting faith in us changing …

signet of the stone doesnt need any changes, it’s already good. and signet of renewal is also extremely good doesnt need any changes. the only changes all of these really need is the cooldown, nothing else.
Signet of Stone @80 translates to + 35 toughness to Ranger and the pet. Active effect is good, i’ll give you that, but passive one is a joke : + 35 Toughness ??
No thanks !!
Signet of Renewal is balanced like in other classes so i also think it’s quite good.
Cooldowns could be reworked, but thing is we Rangers don’t need some pitiful bandage-wannabe solutions. We need some Ranger profession rework as a whole, since focus and orientation (not to mention damage output lol) is what we lack since release.

I don’t even main an Elementalist and i would still have to agree on ALL points of the OP.
Cheers
I know we have a lot of issues… and i am not really the whining type in the forums…
But for pitys sake if nothing else please fix this urgent… it just makes ranger frustrating at the least especially in WvW… you do everything you can, swap pets, use according buffs, apply openers and try to get every broken advantage your class supposed to offer in a fight, just to end up seeing “obstructed, obstructed, obstructed”
That is really discouraging to continue playing a ranger…
/rant off
regards…
bump this !!!
Very frustrating to get invulnerable / obscured all the time. Sometimes i even wonder if they _EVER _ get to playtest released content …
./sigh
I support this!
I also support our colorblind friends !
@DreamyAbaddon :
Good to know you are serious, even though we disagree.
I do get your point and to a certain degree you are right. But, ranger’s pet should be looked on an actual basis that we Rangers care about, like :
- WvW & Instances (Pet ending up insta-dead, playing without class ability is not fun)
- sPvP & tPvP (Pet’s poor AI and pathing issues come forward, crippling the Ranger to play and moreover rely on a flawed inconsistent AI to hope to deal ~40% of his damage)
On a side note, don’t get me wrong, but who gives a rat’s %^&* about PvE ? You can farm one way or another,blindfolded or not :P
I doubt any time soon. In the future, once the the game has matured a bit more and all the important stuff is dealt with. If this comes out before the important stuff, there would be resentment by some because this is a luxury feature.
I think they would do it at 800 gems based on what they did for GW1, but who knows.
My thoughts exactly … First try to make the game more balanced and well versed, building a solid foundation and fixing bugs, then proceed to changes in that direction imo.
a old thread. but one that Anet could read and use.
for now though it just more proof that this issue has been around for a long time and Anet has been slow about fixing it.
So true my friend … makes me sad but who knows …
Let’s hope
a old thread. but one that Anet could read and use.
for now though it just more proof that this issue has been around for a long time and Anet has been slow about fixing it.
There is no issue. The issue is people rely on their pet and want to do DPS all day hoping their pets can stay alive long enough before they take agro themself.
People should learn to use their pets and not rely on them all the time. you got useful Weapon skills and Utilities to do well while kiting without pet. I feel making pets stronger will only make Ranger way to over powered in PvE.
There are 3k + people that seen the post so far with 70+ replies. Apparently, we care for this ‘kitten’ class, along with its issues. Please respect our time and effort here and go troll somewhere else.
Thank you
Still playing here, but can’t promise anything. How can you trust someone that hits you, when that same person once promised not to do so !
In two words :
- No PTR yet
- Very slow communication (if any)
- Balance is quite poor.
- Bugs keep crippling the game.
Considering reviving the thread or not bother at all, since A-net keeps ignoring our lasting class issues.
PS : Guildies nowdays even congratulate me for keep playing my Ranger and not having reroll yet. Hope the sun will …
^^ sign this thread
so i made a badazz norn warrior, thinking about the great vikings and all that.. and it looked awesome and all, i was happy.
then i typed /dance and let me tell you something…
now, i realize its a dance emote and its for fun and stuff.. but there is a difference between silly that is funny and kinda cool that actually FITS the race, and there is silly that makes you MAYBE laugh once from how pathetic it is, and the rest of the time get ticked off from not having a cool dance while your friends do a /dance party and looking cool (humans have the freakin shuffle, man!!!)i can’t even /dance without ppl laughing at me and if i wanted to dance while ppl point and laugh, i’d go dancing in real life!
now, im sure a lot of people (Who are norn) will agree with me, so im making this as both a petition to remove the current dance, and also a suggestion thread so ppl can post their dance videos as a suggestion for a replacement.
ill go first:
either:
1) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQAKRw6mToA <— kinda silly but if done right, its kinda badazz too! not sure it fits the race well but w/e its better than what we got now.2) http://youtu.be/-fvLs5KXWYI?t=1m25s because its techno viking.. come on..
TECHNO VIKING IS SO $%^& COOL
A-Net please do this for Xmas and i will even keep playing my Ranger !!!! <3
^^
Sign on that …
Dera fellow rangers. The latest updats for the ranger was NOT the “big ranger update”, it was simply a generel patch update. So, please show our awsome A-Net team, who is currently sitting there – working on our favourite class – some respect and patience, and stop your endless wining!!!
Thanks A-Net for a great game!
A game is supposed to have fun. (1)
Playing the Ranger is not fun. (2)
Ranger is also part of the game. (3)
—————————————————————————
(1) + (2) + (3) = “Are you kidding me lad” ??
Title says it all .. Happens mostly during WvW. When i try to swap weapons (as a Ranger),
I get self rooted in place for 10++ seconds.
Any fix / feedback ??
Thnx
Its been like 3 weeks we’re in US now with my guild and still keep not getting tournament loot for some reason …
Any fix coming ??
Getting this annoying sound bug as well. Happens mostly during major events, mostly Jormag (pve), WvW not so much but 5 man dungeons as well mostly during big hussles during the fight. Plz fix ??
25% Signet of the Hunt
If you can’t see yourself using scepter or staff I suggest you become a siege master of epic proportions.
Awsomeness right there !! <3
A-net, i would like to sincerely thank you for the great pve content / gift you guys made for us. I do enjoy the atmosphere, the themes, the design … everything etc.
Bugs so far :
1) Once one disconnects, he’s unable to rejoin instance.
2) In the Guitar Hero wannabe fractal puzzle, there is a chance once one dies in the middle of the puzzle, to to die in place, while appearing like he was sent back at the start of the puzzle.
3) DMC boss (eyes & tentacles thingie) sometimes he bugs and keeps shotting the same person in a “DIE DIE DIE” manner ;<
Rangers are very viable, just maybe not in the way most vocal people are wanting. The reactions to the patch notes are by far the strangest thing I’ve ever seen… it’s like everyone is expecting this to be the last ranger patch to ever come out. Just give them time, try a few new things, and let them work.
Issues everywhere across Ranger forum and they came up with “those” changes ?
No, plain no!
It was a dissapointment for us, since we’re still lacking class orientation, in other words we still cannot bring anything to a group that some other profession would not be able to.
PS : I would bet my 5 in game gems that you are not even a Ranger, not being able to see our issues by yourself
Suggestion to Mr. Jon Peters :
- Since you don’t seem to have the time necessary to deal with class issues and we can’t get worse than what we practically are now, why don’t you buff us sacrificing testing … I mean noone is crying for Rangers and worst case scenario we’re good until you nerf us again … big deal
I play a Ranger in GW2.
Strike 1 : You lie to me about gear treadmill.
Strike 2 : You lie to me about Ranger promised & so needed buff.
Strike 3 : If, then I’m officially out.
I do feel cheated and disappointed. I do not have the energy to even log in the game.
Hope you gonna learn to respect your future customers more. My respect and trust are fading …

If you would like to add something there is a post for almost all current issues with pets. Feel free to give feedback !
Thanks
Edit : Added Pet Damage to Combat Log!
Cheers
GW2 Manifesto looks like the Pirates Code… “Its more like guidelines”
I can see Mike O’Brien doing the Johnny Depp run from all of the former GW2 customers
Perfection right there !
Unfortunately I had to write what was probably the first piece of bad press that GW2 has ever gotten because of this. I did not enjoy it.
!!
“Here’s what we believe: If someone wants to play for a thousand hours to get an item that is so rare that other players can’t realistically acquire it, that rare item should be differentiated by its visual appearance and rarity alone, not by being more powerful than everything else in the game. Otherwise, your MMO becomes all about grinding to get the best gear. We don’t make grindy games — we leave the grind to other MMOs.”
When I purchased GW2, this is what I believed. I was purchasing something different. Something special. Arenanet, you have the power to keep this game special. Please make this decision carefully.
sigh
People are really so paranoid here. 56 pages.
Don’t worry too much. -_-- PLEASE Read This -
They still live by their philosophy. Why can’t you guys see that?
More importantly, what are you guys afraid of?GW2: Ascended gears are just another tier. It’s not a requirement to have it to experience any future new content X/Y/Z. You can have fun with all in-game content and dungeons with any tier equipments. You don’t need to grind to experience content X/Y/Z.
Traditional MMO: Better gears are needed to experience new contents, story in PVE and raids. Those gears are a mandatory requirement to reap the fun of the the new content X/Y/Z. Players are forced to grind just to experience newer content.
They are so different.
Yet, it ponders me why can’t people see it.You dont get it do you, current ascendent gear will last for how long ? 3 months? year?
Then they introduce even more poverful ascendent gear so its start again. THis is not their philosophy..
Guild Wars philosophy = you obtained best gear (aka exotic) and there will never ever better gear. stat wise. Even after 7years the armor you equiped at release, was the best.
Every player was equal, WvW vs PvE players, those who dont likes dungeons had the same gear in wvw like those who runs dungeon only.
After this update, those who run dungeons and have ascendent gear, they will have advantage over those who dont, in wvw .. .DO YOU GET IT?
=> Bump this
Stop whining.. seriously!
I want a refund on the exotic gear I bought at the trading post. When I bought it I was promised it was the best gear available. Now it isn’t anymore.
BUMP !
Same goes for Karma Sets, Same goes for Invaders set !!!
Thank you OP for the idea and being awsome !
Let’s help sending these carebears back to the pit where they crawled out of !
I have tried like 15 MMOs in the past. I am now in GW2 to see things i could not with other games. I left my precious Rift for this game, for not having to face the continuous virulent gear checks, they were forcing me to follow.
As it is right now, i do like to play with my guild in WvW and through constant team effort, try to make a change. Why would you force me to get in a dungeon just to get gear, in order to remain competitive ? One WvW Invaders Amulet costs 525 WvW badges. Do you know how long it takes to get that sheer amount of badges ? How many hours ? How much effort ? Why are you all of a sudden, out of the blue pop up and force me to collect gear ?
GW2 was never supposed to follow the “Carrot on the Stick” model. Changes like that could take place in expansions. Not a mere patch / expansion-wannabe !
As a player, i feel you are letting me down, for not warning me beforehand about changes like this. I do feel betrayed. I don’t care about people whining about gear progression. Adding content would be just fine and dandy! Gear progression, Not!
My 2 cents …
PS : If Anet will do such a change i demand my 55 euros back !

I strongly emphasis on all prof being equally. But this doesn’t mean they have to do everything like each other and have same stats. That would be boring. Every soldier on the battleground have different tasks due to their strengths and weakness. They should be able to, when played right, make the whole team stronger.
Snowybell in this forum said: “While we have to multi-task, a warrior just needs to press 1,2,3 with his sword to get 40k damage.”
Well that’s how a warrior should be. Now that said, there must be some balance. If we (the rangers) are not able to make 40K dmg, then Anet must make us tough enough to stand (at least!) 40k dmg! Every prof has a different play style. But I agree with most of you, the balancing of the them need more attention and work. Being a ranger with pet, should not have drawbacks vs eg. a warrior without a pet (and without multi-task).
If Anet fix those issues others and myself mentioned earlier in this thread, AND gave us better vital / tough stat to it would be awesome.
I don’t mind being a ranger who is not best at making the highest dmg, but i would love to be the best to the something other prof can’t do!!! eg. better control, better pet tanking, more cond / boons from pet, etc. you know what i mean!
For example, some say rangers suck in dungeon. Never have I been in a group where they didn’t appreciate my ranger’s control abilities. But they could be even better! So could our pets!
Great points there my friend and even though i agree to most (if not all) of those, there is another thread for Ranger general issues. This thread is focused on our buddies, our pets, so please try and stay to the topic.
Thank you in advance for taking the time and effort replying though
-Adjustable Leash range: Allow the player to set a max range the pet will stray from their master. This would help with keeping the pets out of AoE’s by forcing them to follow the Ranger and mainly only hit targets within the immediate vicinity of said Ranger, thus helping them stay alive.
-Inherent stat scaling: on top of BM bonuses, implement a scaling bonus to an individual pet’s stat scheme based on the overall power of the Ranger’s gear. For example, a bear would become even far more durable than a canine, or feline, etc. (This would also help pets become like most other skills in that increasing your stats helps make them more effective in some way.)
If a Ranger is forced to have pets and be dependent upon pets, then they need to actually be powerful enough to compensate for the crap default AI foisted upon them.
- Adjustable leash range : Sounds too good to be true, therefore i’m not sure if it’s worth bringing it up. Gonna give a shot though
-Pet scaling is already mentioned, so : check
PS : I’d like to lend the phrase with the pets and add it to the original post since it describes situation of pets quite precisely, so thank you in advance !
if i put my pet away , i do that for a reason. It is very very annoying that it re-appears every time i take a little damage..please..we’re gamers..we know when we want our pet and when not. No need to think for us.
It’s already mentioned Eksoz, so no worries there (./point at permanent stow pet option)
