People rangers are great in mobility and evasion yes thieves can spam their skills of CD, warriors can burst people down, and ect. Every class has its own feature, and for rangers this feature is pets. As for responce to Victory, im using devourer and spider, they both hit their targets unless the player dodges. As for bosses that spam high dmg aoes just use comand “to me” and it will stay alive. I personally dont see problems with this class, if Anet wants to improve Rangers im really happy, because they will be better that they are now, not that bad as everybody saying, imho.
