Condition damage…
Use torch and axe
Traps
Got to 80 killing things way higher level than me…
I didn’t really use a vow, they were quite weak..
With a condition trap vuild, you can always kill many things at once.
I never seemed to notice a provlem.
I just know that when the pet is dead, the pet goes vack to life and starts to rez. If it’s allive, it’ll run vack and it takes awhile to start the healing process.
Then again, my ranger went down mayve 2x in 2 months.
Rapid Fire is pretty weak, doesn’t really do much damage at all. Doing the auto attack seems to do just as much damage through the duration.
The only thing it is useful for is the amount of arrows that can go through a field.
Other than that, it’s just crap.
Thief can do anything better than a ranger.
Rangers are “free kills” in WvWvW.My brother is always trying to convince me that they’re good, when he doesn’t have one. And I’ve been playing them for so long. They’re just trash. Free kills, regardless of the people saying how good they are and can kill anyone 1v1, they haven’t actually played someone who has some sort of decent skill. If they have, they are not talking about it. All rangers = free kill in WvWvW. Especially to a thief, warrior, elementalist, mesmer, necromancer, and guardian. Oh, and the engineers too.
To be fair, I’ve never lost to a ranger in a 1v1 setting, necromancer, or an engineer. (as a ranger) Then again, I’m sure they’re crappy.
So, i would roll a thief before ever looking at a ranger. Rangers are just made for bots. You see a ranger out in the PvE world, 9x out of 10, they’re a bot.
Dude 90% of rangers have no clue how to spec or how to play the class. Try playing some spvp and u will realize out of 100 rangers there is someone who has understood how the class works.
I lol so much when someone says ranger is easymode cos all you have to do is spam shortbow #1.
We’re talking about WvWvW.
A warrior in sPvP isn’t the same as a warrior in WvWvW.
I don’t expect a Ranger in sPvP to be the same as a ranger in WvWvW.
With that said, the ranger is still an easy free kill to me and most people. This is a fact.
Ive never played ranger so I cant really tell you any details about them. What I can tell you is that thief is extremely good. People tend to overlook the shortbow when talking about thief’s viability in pve but it deals out pretty good aoe damage. Also, the ability to stealth and make all monsters stop hitting you is invaluable.
Rangers AoE with range is quite crap.
The thieves AoE range is far superior to theirs. Also, the thief can do it at will, as long as they have ini, which is almost always the case. The rebuild time is quite fast to spam their stuff.
Of course, their range shot is slower(num2), but in PvE, you do not have to stand far back to kill a group of 5-15 creatures with your group. Far better than a ranger.
If you want to kill PvE stuff with ease, the warrior is far superior in everyway. You do not have to rely on a weak pet to tank, the warriror can tank and dish out far more damage than a ranger could ever dream of.
The ranger, it is the weakest class in the game. The rangers who say they’re so good, as I said before, they most likely didn’t try other classes.

That’s a HS noob.
I played a Ranger for a couple months from the start of the game. I felt extremely good. Not really good, but as good as a ranger can be.
They’re extremely kitten when hitting people on the walls though. I thought they would be great.
Then I made an elementalist. A kitten load better with damage and survivability.
Then I made a warrior. Very very good.
Then I made a thief.
Thief can do anything better than a ranger.

Swrd is nice, and quite frankly great against most of those annoying Guard/Ele/Warrior builds out there. Problem is WvW is not a wide wonderful world of 1v1.
WvW is 1vZerg. Dagger gives you the burst required to get a kill in the middle of 50+ enemies. I stopped running a full burst build, and adapted it to a more WvW friendly build. Some of the duelers who run pure sPvP builds out in WvW you can’t kill regardless how much more skill you have than they do…but they aren’t taking on as many players as I do
Well unless they are Ele’s……those kitteners need a nerf.
The eles are extremely weak, barely do any damage…. If they can do damage, you can easily kill them fast.
They do not need a nerf, maybe you need a buff. Anet will not give you that, so you need to learn.
1 Copper is a random prize.
I ran around to gather mithril in the places that contains them.
It’s a SLOW way to make money.
Go ahead, slaves, go mine it up. I’ll make the money elsewhere.
Would love to get some normal clothing. However, I just have the ugly starting clothes.
Like everyone else. unless you bought the over glamourous clothing for the holidays. Which isn’t to my likings.
What is wrong is that the chest now gives useless crap making it not even worth buying anymore. (buying keys)
All of the boosters are pretty much junk, especially for that price.
People say crafting booster is great, it doesn’t actually help me at all. Nearly same results without using one.
The only valuable thing is a black lions salvage kit.
But I am sure they’re much more harder to get now.
I don’t understand the move or switch to this uselessness.
And seriously, 1 copper counts as an item?
In the past, I used to open a chest and then see the content, and go “ooo” on well, just a black lions kit. Now, I open them and think, wtf is this kitten doing in this box, get it out?
They became extremely worthless after the update, at least for me.
Most I got out of them is 1 unID dye and a bag of coins, which contained 2s.
I even saved my keys to open during this time.
Should have opened before, if I knew it would be so worthless.
1 booster, a bag of 2s coins, and something that was unrememberable, valued at 0c. was the one I just opened. The many others were not as valuable.
I doubt most players are undercutting just to buy it at a lower value.
Like the globs a couple months ago.
People undercut by almost a silver at times, their 100 sells pretty fast, or their 300 sells very fast. Yet, I put mine right at the one that is right at the “normal” price range and I sell nearly instantly too. So, with no effort, I made a bunch more in profits than the guy who wants to sell quick. I sold quick too. lol but I made more.
Most of those people are just clueless
Just used all my gold and nothing….
Heard many 4 tries, 3 tries. 2 tries. 9 tries. But geeze, I don’t get under 20 tries.
“Princess – 5 tries
Griffon – 2 tries
Golem – 11 tries
Ventari – 33 tries then ran out of gold”
I tried the Ventari, I think I will not bother with that. It might be bugged….

Toxx kept spawming in the middle, actually, many of the things that spawn on the outside kept popping up right on top of the Yaks.
However, even when Toxx spawned right on the Yak, it didn’t kill any and we DPS killed it with ease. It only did approximately 25% damage to the Yak and it was hitting it.
You do NOT need to make just walls from snow, you can make snow men too.
It’s not that hard. Also, killing stuff with rifles is good.
Avoiding the kill doesn’t help too much. I’ve seen people who did 3 total kills kitten about people killing. Yet, that’s one of the main reason why the first yak dies. They are just allowing the creatures to just kill them without them bothering to do anything about it, just to build walls on the outside, when almost all of the spawns go right into the middle right away.
Thing is, kill the creatures, you will succeed with ease. Also, build things at random, make the creatures FIGHT them while you pick them off. Grab a candy cane and smash everything out there, then get a gun and place at random, upgrading your snow people to tank for you. Pick em off at a distance. Voila, you got it.
Done.
I have 4 armor sets and 3 Jewel sets.
Have 9 daggers, 2 scepters, 2 staves.
I change my traits a lot. However, with most builds, the change in jewelry and armor changes the way I can run. Just pick what you want to pick and focus what you want to focus on….
I revive players just fine with it.
The lightning rarely teleports the person and the water never heals them fully though.
I just use the Earth, but the fire revives me.
Why not look at your traits and decide what to make yourself instead of being a robot and having people tell you what to be. I find it comical….
Too bad regen affected runes and traits do not affect the healing regen skill. Not the spring.
unless they recently changed it.
Still not useful in WvWvW.
If you’re able to 1v2 and 1v3 people until help arrives, then you’re not facing anyone of any sort of threat and could kill them with a trap build. (Since those players are horrible and most likely rangers and engineers[so many engineers who are clueless on how to play their build]
I know this probably isn’t a popular comparison, but the WoW hunter classically does attrition damage (with weapons and pet) while using a ton of CC and escape abilities to keep up the pressure and win. The GW2 ranger, when at range, seems to have a similar attrition, but no CC or escape to speak of. Meanwhile, every other class does decent ranged and AoE damage. So where’s the ranger’s unique pattern of play? What’s the point of them? If it’s the pet then we need a lot more control or pet abilities.
(I’m a relative newbie and happy to be corrected!)
They have no escape, lol….
They can be hunted down and killed even if they’re speced out to be able to run away. They’re not going to run away. lol
They’re just too slow. When caught, they’re going to die unless some scub player chased the ranger.
I used to thought traps were awesome for AoE damage.
They’re not. It’s only useful for some mobs in PvE.
They’re extremely powerful in PvE, PvP, and WvWvW.
Those that says otherwise clearly has no clue how to play, this is a fact.
I haven’t been kicked out, but then again, I don’t really want to bring my ranger in a dungeon.
I think the pet damage was nerfed not too long ago. (approx 8-13k dmg down to 5-6k dmg in a second)
It certainly doesn’t do as much damage as before.
I do not use bears in anything other than PvE. Then again, I haven’t used bears in a very long time. like in dungeons, they die instantly.
Only good for attacking 7-10 spiders or other stuff and putting down traps and killing them off with an axe.
In PvP, I wouldn’t dare use a bear, they’re just annoying but do nothing to the enemy. Use a pet that actually does damage.
I found the stealth couger or jag or cat. one of em does pretty good to sneak attack a group of people..
Like the above guy, the ranger is just utterly boring and not fun at all.
After playing any other class, it gets much more funner.
I went mostly with the elementalist, even with the nerf to many aspects of their play, it is a catful times better in terms of well.. everything.
Now, I put many hours on my ranger and I consider myself one of the best rangers, when it comes to WvWvW. However, they’re just… crappy.
I don’t really care about sPvP since there’s no real customization to my likings, so I have no comment on that. However, any class I play would decimate a ranger in sPvP.
God, no wonder a lot of you think rangers broken, a weapon “isn’t good” according to you unless it does tons of damage, I personally did a back flip of joy because my main weapon just skyrocketed in awesome!!
Lol that is the definition of good. Sorry, the rest of us can’t kill that thief backstabbing us for 4k a hit with “awesome!!”
To be fair though, I crit 3k with my longbow at full range in glass cannon gear when it doesn’t get obstructed error. Thieves having an instant point blank heavy crit with
guarentee to land from stealth along with no ranged penalty is totally fair.
lol.. you think that 3k dmg is good?
lol.. you think that 3k dmg is good?You have to be that far. Other classes don’t have to and can be that far and still do more dmg..
Meh, nearly all rangers are horrible.
Especially in WvWvW.
They’re the easiest to kill.
I consistently get hit by “Kill shot” and back stab for 8-15k dmg in WvWvW..
They can do this with relative ease.
Elementalists have to work hard just to not reach those numbers hitting other glass cannons…. a Thief can just press 5 → Steal to hit 2 times and be invis and then press 1 and 2, 2, 2. But they don’t need to press any 2s. That right there does ~15k + dmg in 1-2 seconds.. Add in the 2s, that’s even more dmg….
Mess it up, just invis.. lol
How come, with my ranger, I never even see close to those numbers? lol
Even with 100% full spec and geared glass cannon.
Mages underwater is quite powerful already.
Ranger’s underwater is probably the weakest in the whole game by 10 folds.
But yeah, easily able to put into the game. Just enable it.
Umm, the ele that can use that weapon is so squishy, they wouldn’t last long enough to use it.
If they’re built as a “bunker” it doesn’t do that much damage.
IF you want to stop being squishy, quit putting all into power stats.
If every class spec to be tough, bunker elementalists wouldn’t do anything. Their damage is extremely weak.
I don’t know about all the other elementalists saying it is weak, they obviously do not know how to use it. Mine works fine in respects to damage and would out DPS the staff mage.
I agree, sometimes, I really do not want to give out my sword. Having only a few charges and the game auto attacking for you even when it is set off is annoying. It wastes charges.
The time should be increased IMO. The other conjured weapons can be casted while on the move, this one cannot. Sometimes, it causes you to die.
However, the ones who says that it is weak has a real L2P issue and not knowing how to actually use one.
I have to agree, after rolling a mage.
I find that I always forget to use my elite skill in PvP.
I use a conjured GS and they’re okay at pvE
The other classes, I would love to use my elite skill and I want to save it for the perfect time and always want to use it. Mage, I do not even remember having an elite skill…
Two videos that prove you wrong.
Here’s a video of an Elementalist fighting a zerg. Yeah, she totally dies in seconds. She definitely doesn’t hold off far greater numbers for a really long time, and even get a few kills.Bad example… the zerg is a bunch of auto attack noobs, I think they were more concerned with taking the supply point then killing the elementalist by far. Pretty hilarious to see though. Good use of escapes, but the best part is when the ele just turns around and run straight through again for no good reason and barely take damage. Cant say its skill more than lack of skill being demonstrated here.
lol, even my ranger can do that.
It’s not hard fighting scrubs that’s not geared right.
For all we know, those were botters as they are plentiful in WvWvW. A lot also sends an invite to a party, then that bot follows player and attacks what the person is attacking. Until disband and dead, the bot goes back to the start area and finds more people to follow. Many do camps over and over for monies.
In the video, that was a lack of a lot of skill. You can see the person takes nearly no damage. Even with a lot of armor, I take a lot more to people who are capable of playing decent.
Certainly, the person who stated he can win them all, even 1v3.4.5.6.7.8. You haven’t faced a RANGER that has acceptable gear that actually knows how to play decently..
Staff is god in www. I love to watch while my Meteor shower rain down on the enemy with 83% crit and 98% crit damage ). You will get criticals in the 4300-6800 range and 66% chance to steal life on Critical hit food will give you a fair bit of survivability. If the staff where good 1vs1 it would be VERY OP. Air one is your best option for 1vs1 and really good vs. Mesmers and Rangers.
Seafarer’s Rest – Aeoon
That’s fine and dandy in large group fights, however, it’s not really good when people can easily drop you in seconds with any class. Certainly, not 1v1.
There will be 0 elementalist that can kill my character 1v1 using a staff. lol
Obviously, the person kept wiping in a dungeon and blaming it on MF gear.
You do know that many people run with gear that is 10+ levels lower than them?
Even run with blue and green gear.
With MF gear, you still do a lot of damage.
To be honest, I do more damage with my MF gear than with my power toughness and vitality gear. And yes, condition damage does very well in there.
I could have a different stat that has healing in it, however, there’s no reason for me to heal my group since they should be capable of healing themselves.
That’s one “Wasted” stat since it’s weak and not really used to actually always help a group when the normal default is good enough.
Not everyone is running with decent runes in their armor.
You can get the MF from the runes and leave the 18% MF from the armor out.
Again, OP just wiped and wiped over and over and wants something to blame.
People were telling me that after the first run to get 60, the 2nd run gets 40 and the next is 20 and so on.
However, I received 60 and then 20. Never a 40.
I only recently started to run dungeons, so I do not know. Is that how it is and the guy was speaking without knowledge?
That would be good. I generally play during the morning hours, while everyone is asleep and it takes awhile to form at times.
I ran my first dungeon a couple days ago.
I ran it with my brother and 3 ~60s or so.
We ran the whole thing on a certain path and it didn’t seem hard.
Then I ran it again with 40-80. Just a couple 80s.
Wasn’t bad
Ran it more with low levels.
We never completely wiped more than once.
All of em took around ~35 minutes.
Then I joined a group of elitist. They kept getting people in and kicking them.
It took 35 minutes to form the group(was in the morning). Then we finished it in 24 minutes on a certain path.
Then I joined with a guild, me and another with 3 people in the same guild.
We wiped over and over. The levels were 60-80. The guild was saying I should use “freeze rain” with my staff that I do not use.
Anyways, I just join whatever group and it is fine. Usually, if the group is full of randoms, it is easier to complete regardless of their levels. Ran it plenty of times with ~40s. Joining a guild who thinks they’re awesome, it doesn’t seem that great. Then again, only ran it with 1 particular guild. Joining an elitist group can be faster, however, sometimes, it takes so long to form.
I remember during the Mad King event, the group of people looking just for 80s took over 10 minutes to form while my PuG went in and killed it before their group was formed.
They were arguing with the low levels saying how it is much faster. However, just running with random PuG of all levels, I ran and completed them more times than they did.
Hrmm, I never had a problem..
I just ran my first dungeon explore a couple days ago…
I didn’t run it much, but I already have a lot of coins. Well, I got the leggings and now have 280 more coins.
I doubt you even ran a dungeon in explore. It’s much faster than the story for Arah..
The crafting booster is pretty worthless.
It doesn’t really save you time or money at all.
I’ve been finding jewelry with Shaman stats and all sorts that are from sPvP.
I found 2 rare amulets(Shaman and something else) at cursed shore yesterday.
I’m sure, if you combine them, you can make an exotic one.
Umm in sPvP, they removed all the jewelry like rings and accessories you can put on along with jewels in the weapon slots, etc…
So of course you will not see the same damage like in most vids.
Eh, wtf? My ranger was going to attack 2 players, then all of a sudden I got KOed in ~1 second.
From what? A thief, he/she did 19,000 dmg (3 hits)
Player was stealthed before I entered the room with the other 2 who didn’t do anything to me…. (this was after the dreadful nerf you had)
It was bugged giving you INSANE amounts of damage. It was fixed..
I got one though…
Jeweler was never great at making money. lol
Cooking, that’s where the money is.
That’s if, you want 100s of gold with no effort.
They are going to be rich in a month or two.
Yeah, you can make a lot of gold by buying the ingreds and making this since you get 2 vars…
Can make a killing just crafting this over and over making 1000s at a time and selling em. over and over
Might as well do it now since many people have been doing it for months racking in a lot of gold.
10 to 50..
Average of like.. 16
When you get it, it’s for your level.
If you received it at level 15, you’ll only be able to mine the approximate of level 15 range.. Which is mostly copper and Iron ore nodes.
Don’t save it up because, when you try to use it at 80, it will not work. It’s a level 15 pick ax. You could mine copper with it though..
People already pinned it down. If they didn’t, guess I was one of the only for months.. Now you know too.
