No, because the game mode in sPvP is a conquest. You win by controlling points, not killing everyone in your path. If that’s what you’re looking for, you should try WvW. If that doesn’t appeal to you either, the game’s probably not for you.
Like you said, the game mode is a conquest. If you’re facing a 1v2, the rest of your team is left with a 4v3. The only real overall advantage you get in team fights is after you’ve downed one. Knowing what fights to engage, where to spend your resources, map awareness and proper point control make the game REALLY interesting once you start to get a hang of it. We have had this game mode for over 9 months, and people are still struggling with it (people in general, not you in particular). I understand that some people just want to kill other classes without needing to worry about the strategies etc, for which we have WvW at the moment.
it can be interesting if u in voice with u team but again do i rly need to fight anybody to win? take point slow and harass enemy so he couldn’t recheck point and thats all, when i first tried tournaments i was always on last place until i realized that if i kill someone i get 15 for about 1 min or more or u could recheck some point and get a lot more points for yourself and team in some 20 sec.Btw www=zerg.
So I got 1v2’d while the enemy gets 4v3’d (hopefully), people on both sides are just getting outnumbered and destroyed… it’s just not that fun or competitive… and WvW is too zergy and gear-based.
Again, I can see how conquest would be a good format for the most diehard strategists who wanna give and take orders for field control via voip, but it’s not a good mode for the masses (solos, duos, and people who just want a fair, straight-forward fight)
is it me or cpvp rly boring u run —->take point——> run —-->take point——> see an enemy —-—>run —-->take another point and it brings u victory so there is no fight just running… its kind of boring.
Pet rangers have pet? oh that dead thing that follow me i doubt that shared ar will change something just give me a button to turn pet off and as a ranger i have no problems with spirits, spirits a good! just dont use them :P
Rangers have their highs and lows like every other class. They have really good DPS, but they have to work at it a bit more than other classes like warrior or mesmer. It’s possible just not as easy.
As for ranger balance, we have frequent meetings about balance where we discuss that sort of stuff – I go to those meetings on behalf of dungeon content and to lend my experience with ranger knowledge.
I personally accept the tradeoff of damage for survivability (Can’t do damage if you’re dead). I tend to run a condition build using shortbow and sword\dagger, and focus on being supportive and holding aggro while keeping a steady output of DPS through conditions. Rangers have an incredible amount of evasion and damage mitigation if you are very focused and know when to use your skills and heals (prot on dodge roll, vigor on heals) means you can keep prot for when you mess up, and always have evasions ready. There are some very successful dungeon builds, but most of them aren’t DPS focused.
Robert i have a question so class called Ranger good in melee? good with shortbow and sword\dagger? Can u just rename it? for something like assassin? thief II? or something like that so it wont misleading ppl. You saying Rangers have their highs and lows like every other class.But right now ranger is rly weak in dungeons why? cause pet is always dead(and even more pet in dungens more like a nuisance than help), cause ranger has less buffs to party than any other class and his damage is not rly outstanding and thats a reason why ranger can be kicked from party with a reason ‘u are ranger’.
Why is Ranger Bad?
1.oh its easy cause of pet they useless, why? cause they die they always die and they rly bad at hitting running foes. In www you pet will be dead in 5 sec if, in cpvp ranged do zero damage melee just chasing target trying to hit it and sometimes they even hit!!! in dungeons pets live to first aoe, so mostly i don’t even bother to swap dead pets and its rly funny cause main thing i want anet to do with ranger is to give him buttom hide pet even in combat and give some trait like +20% damage when pet is hidden.
2.No boon control when u see thats some guard buff himself with tons of buffs u cant do anything with that.
3.Spirits they even worst then pets they die in 2 sec why we cant kill warrior flags? or shouts? have u ever see rangers in spirits?
4.Bow attacks miss alot from distance and not cause enemy dodge it, just cause he runs
and as a ranger i have no problems with spirits, spirits a good! just dont use them :P
