Hey,
Who am I:
I play ranger since BW2, done 2920 (90%) tournament games with ranger.
So I just talk about the role of the ranger in PVP.
Please don’t change this Trait!!!
Wilderness 5 Natural Vigor. Reduced the increased endurance regeneration from 50% to 25%.
to make the ranger viable in PVP you have to dodge a lot to counter the other classes. This reduction will be horrible pls don’t change this trait !!!
Good Changes:
Long Range Shot. Increased the damage at 500 range by 20%.
Long Range Shot. Increased the damage at 500-1000 range by 15%.
Good Changes to make longbow viable in PVP but this wont be enough dps to run it.
(Warriors and Thiefs will do much more damage with their bows – Why ? In my opinion Ranger should be the class with the most dps on any bow, thats what the ranger stands for. Or?)
You should do:
Long Range Shot. Increased the damage at 500 range by 40%
Long Range Shot. Increased the damage at 500-1000 range by 25%.
—> because in PVP you dont have long ranges.
Nature Magic IX – Two Handed Training. Added the following functionality to this trait. Greatsword and Spear attacks have a chance to grant Fury on hit. 50% chance. 3s Fury. 10s cooldown.
(Very good change for DPS-GS-Ranger in WVW- Played GS a few times in PVP but its attacks are way to slowly and deals not enough dps.)
You should do:
We need a Condi cleanser /or evade on GS not Fury
Beastmastery VI – Mighty Swap. The might from this trait is now applied to you and your pet.
(very good change) every ranger will trait it cause it gives you 3 stacks of might all the time
This Traits won’t change anything because there are much better traits
Marksmanship V – Predator’s Instinct. Increased the threshold from 25% to 50%. Increased the Cripple Duration from 2s to 10s. Increased the cooldown from 15s to 30s. (Keen Edge)
You should do: change cripple to weakness
Nature Magic V – Strength of Spirit. Increased conversion from 5% to 7%
(Natures protection/Bounty)
Skirmishing XII – Moment of Clarity. Stun Duration increased from 50% to 100%. If I put 30 pts in this line i would prefer to run Trapper because it’s not the task of the ranger to interrupt.
Nature Magic I – Circle of Life. Cleared up the text of this trait to clearly identify that it happens when downed, not defeated. (Protection/regeneration)
Wilderness XII – Bark Skin Increased the damage reduction from 30% to 50%.(You have to take empathic bond otherwise you have no condi cleanser, this trait will be good in PVE but will be senseless in PVP)
Wilderness VIII – Oakheart Salve. Decreased the recharge of this trait from 20s->15s
(with healing spring and this skill it is possible to give you endless regeneration at the moment, so you will get endless regeneration more easily, a good change if you run troll unguent)
Nature Magic X – Enlargement. This trait now uses Signet of the Wild to trigger. This reduces the cooldown to 60 seconds and allow it to interact with the Signet of the Beastmaster and Signet Mastery traits. (senseless cause when you drop under 25% ca. 3500-4000 HP you are nearly dead, you should change it to 50%, this would make this trait viable)
The changes of the spirits are good.
Pets:
There are just 4 pets you can take in PVP out of 40 !!!
Kryta Drakehound – Immobilize, Knockdown
Wolf- Fear, Knockdown
River Drake, BIG DPS, Explosion
Raven, Huge Singel DPS
There are other pets like spide which are good but the above mentioned are much better.
The F2 skills are very laggy atm hope you’ll fix this.
Conclusion:
The problem with the ranger is that he has no active condition cleanser. So he has to put 30pts in wilderness Survival. So there are just 40pts left
You can put 30 in Skirmishing to run a Trapper:
(never understood why you put it here we get precision and critical dmg on a condition build)
Traps don’t do enough conditions. So i would prefer a necro at this role.
Why is there no Combofield on Vipers Trap ?
—> Trapper is dead atm
you should swap Traps to markmanship
You can put 30 in Markmanship to run DPS with sigils but than you only have 10 for skirmishing
so there is not enough dps on crits
—> DPS ranger is dead atm
To my mind you should:
- think of a active condition cleanser so the rangers mustn’t put 30 in wilderness
- increase traps conditions and move traps to marmanship
- Fix the F2 Skills
- don’t change Wilderness 5 Natural Vigor
- fix our elite spirit (if you cast it and press the rez skill fast after casting it does nothing, you have to stand still when you cast it otherwise the ghost prefers to follow you instead of using his skill)
Wow this took me 2 hrs because my english is not the best and i know devs prefer the english forum to the germans so i am hoping to hear a respond.
