Guild Wars 2

Dear A-net and guys:

Thx for a really good game development on PVP/PVE content.

To tell the true that it is disappoint to the live-stream.
A-net said ranger is the best range single DPS in the game and mesmer is the second. But the true is ranger’s range dps is lower than not only mesmer but also warrior’s range- attack . And ,from the live-stream ,I just wonder , what it the trade off between best single dps and AOE dps? The only trait that make LB AOE is the pierce arrows. But u can keep it with power-line I/X at the same time. Pierce Arrows is not a really good AOE either.
Some times I just not sure did the A-net really review player’s feedback on balance? A-net sometimes show some balance that is the suit for the real game balance. (for example , the Cri-damage nerfs , the problem is warrior too powerful on dungeon but not cri-damage . Lot of classes is suit for the original cir-damage.)

Ranger with the best range damage above all classes was true 1.5 year ago. With a 1200 short bow + quickness+ beast master 5 point to get quickness +2 times quicker quickness than now , ranger was the top 3 dps class.

After all the nerfs(Not only the nerf for ranger like 900 SB , but also the quickness/cri-damage nerf for all game) and seldom buffs (what a silly trait XIII of first line?), ranger can only play sprit-ranger in PVP and useless at PVE -dungeon now.

In my advice. Rangers may have a trait not only share boons with pets , but also pet can share with rangers.
With this trait rangers will be more careful on keeping pets undead. ( With trait “pet gets might on critical hit” + new trait, ranger can have better dps) Also, with the new trait that range distant limit of LB can be fixed , since u can also get boon even if u are in far distance.

Second advice is that LB should have the arrow speed as with power-line XIII but without it. LB is not that hurt, XIII is not match the price. Or, buff the power-Coefficient of LB so that trait will worth.

Third let the pets improve with equipment. Half of dps is based on pets , and power coefficient is low for ranger weapon. It is not fair that ranger can not improve half of themselves.

If the pets is dead dead dead in dungeon/WvW , which mean that it is not fair that ranger still with low -power coefficient on weapon.

Forth, plz let the SB also can be range improve by eagle-eyes. SB is useless now…

some of my advice. Even i have all 8-classes, i still love ranger every much. It is sad that when every i play ranger, people just say no rangers even if i change to melee/support build.

Sry for my poor English and thx for ur reading.

It is rangers’ turn . other class have to wait till they really fix the class (since ranger vote to 1st fix class

I just wonder , the game had been release for more than a year. But how can warrior still be the most powerful class in PVE in the game? Other classes nerfed /buffed , so that the worst class was neco →enginer to now rangers. We know the balance is based on PVP, but the most people in the game are still playing PVE/ WVW.

1.Ranger
Why does ranger need stealth, we need DPS more than that. It really make players who like ranger upset.

Stealth is useful in PVP in WVW for LB3 if u use lb build

I have 8 classes in lv 80

For PVE: I know u guys like to balance classes by PVP, but most of people in GW2 now are playing PVE. I just talk about it in PVE

1.Ranger
(Was a good class with top 3 dps but was nerf nerf nerf (quickness/SB) to a stupid class. What the unreplacable points for ranger? Maybe u can make ranger to the only class with melee dps in range, so the encourage people to play it)

2.Ele in pve
(to tell the true, elementist can be really good in WVW/PVP but in pve it can only play as support but not tank/dps)

3.Theif
(really bed dps in range, short range/low dps . Easy to die for dps build , and really low dps in survival build)

And plz nerf warrior… Now it can play well with foods in WVWVW ,not bed in PVP and really great in PVE…
Thank you

Vigor is importance in combat but not out of combat

if we focus on balance it is meanless in ooc.

@ A-net

pay 5 point on trait to dodge per 6.66 s as ranger → nerf

pay 5 point on trait to dodge per 5s as mesmer/guard → fine (as vigor build)

Why?

@ ChyrosNX.1834

If u want great dps as melee ranger, u should use sword but not GS. Ranger zerker build as sword is a great dps(as good as theif but maybe not as good as worri) but hard to control build (with cat-pet). Which mean the issue of dps of power build ranger is not the problem.

The problem of power ranger is the only way to survive as melee is base on evade . Nerf vigor is really hurt on this .

In range ,ranger (with pets)still the most dps class in range distance (long term dps but not burst dps, ranger is leak of burst dps). But dungeon is not friendly to ranger since lots of boss have bug to stack, or reflect the project weapon. And, pet still dead dead dead in dungeon.

Hype.8032:
Can someone from Anet answer this question: do you plan for sword thieves to be tourney viable after this patch?
If the answer is no then please just come out and say it.
Yep, we do!

Then i wonder why do u guys play ranger (told on the live steam) , and make ranger player upset and feel unfair about the patches.

From 2012 to 2013 Ranger nerf more the buff .

I just wonder. How many ranger still use sb after the range is change to 900?

Plz to make a “test server” that player can come and try the new triat/skill for better balance before add in the patch.

People said that A-net balance team have no dev playing ranger, then how can u tell why the ranger is so weak in dungeon and WVW? Ranger can now only appear in outside pve / pvp now. With a test server lots of players will help u to test the changes.

Ranger have a good dps (believe me really good in LV40 FOTM with full zerker)before the patch , if u use lb+sb pierce arrow + u are good in kite and keep shoot the backside of mobsfull of energy+using 30/30/5/0/5 <=A class can have a good dps have to do so many things like these. Is that fair??

Ranger can still have the greatest range damage but with bad melee wapons (good dps but hard to control(sword) or bad dps (great sword). Worrior is good in melee and good in range (maybe not better than ranger but almost) Who is the real "range"r????

Since u r using bm in instance. Try to use 30/30/5/0/5 u r going to have a great dps and penetrate arrow as aoe using SB/LB together. And the beast is still powerful in that build. All u need is decide which time go in or go out. This build is powerful in FOTM lv 30/40 . I have guard/war/rang in fotm and this build is the greatest and safest one.

BM/Trap/Duel Ranger is good in PVP but not PVE BM is good in open world also
