Guild Wars 2

I remember playing a signet ranger prior to the rapid fire buff, and I would get angry whispers about being OP (because we all remember how OP rangers were before the rapid fire buff!); and now a couple months later, I still get angry whispers even when I don’t use rapid fire

I run 6/6/2/0/0

Most nerfed class in game thief by far.

Rapid fire needs to be reverted. That much damage that fast and from that far away (2k units) is game breaking.

Our rangers have always been fine in the grand scheme of things. Healthy showing in PvP, good WvW class, and good pve class. Enjoy it while you can but don’t insult everyone’s intelligence by saying it’s balanced

I agree! Rapid Fire should be reverted back to being used solely for tracking thieves and PU mesmers! Rangers were a pretty big class in the meta before the patch. They were brokenly OP before the patch and now they’re even more OP!

Remember the glory days of longbow rangers back before the patch? They were SO OP with just spamming LB1 and sometimes getting a lucky crit with signet+clarity. That meta was so dominated with auto attack rangers.

Rangers “2000” range is mostly BS, sure if you’re not moving a ranger can hit you from farther than 1500 but it isn’t tracked and can be avoided by moving a step forward. Even Eles can do that.

So today in a couple of hotjoins I decided to not use LB2 in any 1 on 1s. And, not surprisingly, people were still blaming lack of skill on me playing an OP class. I thought this was kinda funny since I was basically playing a pre-patch signet build.

then you just might need to learn to evade/reflect/run up to him and just hit him.

I dunno which is more OP, a medi guard or a signetmauling ranger O.o

I have map completion on all of the WvW maps and it’s really lame that I actually have to step into the PvE world to do the rest of the WC where it’s all these no talent scrubs PvEing. I think it’s asinine that I actually have to play the game to get what I want

Tanking before the tourney brings a WvW community together, facing 5 weeks of being out coveraged and stomped is what destroys it.

Lethal Stranger.5093:

I’m guessing they’re unsalvageable because Anet doesn’t want us to make money out of it (god forbid WvW actually being rewarding).
This can be easily fixed by making them salvagable, but removing the ectoplasm chance from these specific armor/weapon types.

Even though I’m highly sceptical they’re ever gonna fix this problem, it’s been like that since release iirc.

It’s the exact same reason why they don’t let you salvage karma gear. It has nothing to do with them not wanting you to make gold from WvW.

I completely disagree! I had several sets of armor in my bank that had strength runes and i had to destroy them because they took up most of the bank. I will not stand by and let anet fix this after I’d wasted maybe 100+g on strength runes and then destroyed them for bank space.

I will stop paying the monthly fee if they fix this.

Decrease our mobility?? then give us more armor, max health and we can be warriors! Difference warrior <—> thief is mobility at the price of survivability. Warrior hits just as hard as thieves on a non moving target, however thief is able to do more damage because mobility allows him to land more attacks than warrior. That is the class mechanic. deal. with. it.

Nobody talked about decreasing mobility. Just introducing the need to not spam it.

So introducing the need not to spam mobility isn’t actually decreasing mobility? Go on.

I too think that classes that have unique class mechanics need to be nerfed.

Anet needs to add this: nobody can drop any siege within 1,200range from the tag but the commander, or something like that.

You didn’t think before posting that did you?

Why? Because everyone with a cmd tag can pop it and drop sieges? At least we can see the troller.

Yea! If we can see who the troll is that’s gonna stop everything! What kind of troll would want all of that attention?

Zelyhn Lekovitch.2867:

Is FGS making fights easy?

It takes skill to use it properly.

Agreed. What are we going to do when we miss the wall?

RIP warriors. Might as well delete the class now since it’ll be useless. What are we gonna do when our eviscerates miss? FML

I was on my D/D thief

roughly 2 and a half minutes or so.

I wouldn’t be able to hit him because stealth makes you invulnerable

How can you give a class such great advantages over another class?

I get the strong feeling you do not play thief. Either at all, or for very long.

Dude I play thief since 2010 in gw2. I think I know what I’m doing.

Hmm maybe I needed to make the satire more obvious

I was on my D/D thief earlier and some kitten build D/D thief came and seriously bursted me in roughly 2 and a half minutes or so. No matter how many times I shadowed refuge and came back into the fight with my utilities back up he would immediately reset the fight and I wouldn’t be able to hit him because stealth makes you invulnerable but he’d be able to exploit and burst me the moment I landed CnD…

Anet why aren’t you fixing this? How can you give a class such great advantages over another class? Please nerf.

“My class is underpowered, therefor Ranger is OP.”

You realize that they don’t balance classes based off a mesmer’s shatter, right? Have you tried blinking to the ranger who has to much “range”(kinda funny how a ranger has range….)? Or using your skills? Or are you getting outplayed and then QQing about your lack of skill?

Because rangers are just so overpowered.

Are you telling that capturing during mistform would be game breaking as thief capturing during stealth?

Nope! That’s a confirmation bias if you got that from what I said. In fact, being stealthed is less OP than being invulnerable to damage. Now to be illogical like you, are you telling ME that being completely invulnerable and capturing isn’t as OP as capturing while stealthed.

The thief hate is strong with this one.

To tell the truth stealth is not much less OP that being invulnerable.

If an opponent is only invulnerable you can at least plan your defense and react.
If an opponent is stealthed you cannot react

If you are in mistform you can t do anything -.- and yet somehow you can be CC.
Not to mention the cooldown.

You can’t react to a stealthed thief in a tiny little circle in pvp? You’re kidding right?

So you’re still trying to defend your claim that if a class is so balanced they should be able to capture points regardless? You realize that every class has a skill that prevents point-capture, right? If we take your fallacious claim that they’re not balanced because of point-capture negation, we’d have that every class isn’t balanced…

Do you still think that saying if a thief is so balanced they should be able to capture points while stealthed? What about a mesmer? Are they not balanced because they can’t capture points while stealthed? Do you think any class is balanced?

1. Precursors are hard to get, 1000g is fair for the drop rate on it.
2. If it’s more than an exotic does that mean it’s not an exotic?

I assumed you’d be able to infer what my answer was with that question.

Dear OP, it seems you just opened a topic to see everyone disagree with you.
If that is your goal, save yourself some work and just read this topic:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/bltc/a-social-solution-to-price-undercutting/first

Edit: peace

1>that topic is talking in general…i am talking about one thing and one thing only
2> yes ppl disagree because because they are in the category i talked about earlier at least that’s what i think
3> no that is not my goal

peace

You mean the group that uses logic? People have tried to explain it to you numerous times but you’re just disregarding it because you feel that you are correct and everyone else must be wrong

you ppl saw the empty half of the glass again …didn’t you see with your eyes that i wrote " at least that’s what i think" open your eyes ppl

peace

Saying “at least that’s what i think” has nothing to do with what his reply said.

Jagstang.6912:

Are you serious?

You’re whole argument is flawed. “An exotic should be sold for an exotic.” It’s more than an exotic, as has been said multiple times now. “It should be sold for the price of a crafting material” a precursor is a crafting material, so yes it is being sold for the price of a crafting material.

You are being ignorant of peoples answers and expecting a dev to respond to someone making “demands.”

1>so you are saying that 1000g is a fair price of a crafting material?
2>last time i cheked it is an exotic
3>it is not an argument it is a topic

peace

1. Are you saying 1000g isn’t fair for a precursor to a legendary?
2. Did I say it wasn’t an exotic? Or are you strawmanning my post?
3. If something is a topic does that make it not an argument?

Reply logically, and don’t try and straw man me again :P

Are you serious?

It seems reasonable for rush to receive the same treatment as RTL.

nope. not reasonable at all.
not even close.

Rush
- runs 1200 forward physically
- runs to target within 1200 range
- slowed by crippled, chilled
- stopped by immobilize and various control effects

Ride the Lightning
- 2 seconds of ride the lightning transform effect
- move 600 units per second
- effect only ends if knocked down / burst down or reached target early

rush can be very easily countered while ride the lightning is not.

RTL is 40 seconds, this is a thread about warriors using nike boots. Saying that because one class has a skill that takes them 1200yds doesn’t mean that your mobility is OP is an illogical argument.

LordByron.8369:

If its so balanced why preventing stealth to capture points in PvP?
Revert it so we all see how fair it is.

Yeah! Thieves should be able to cap points while stealthed to illustrate their balance! When we all think eles are op, we’ll just say this to thwart their counter arguments “Well if you guys are so balanced then why don’t they just remove mist form for capping points, huh?” We’ll do the same thing to rangers with “protect me!” too!
