Guild Wars 2

The only thing more I’ll say is this: If you haven’t dumped points into BM line then your pets won’t be nearly as viable. However if you boost them up, they become tanky, kittened DPS machines. Yes it is kind of lame that your almost forced to put points into BM, but it does make all the difference. GS defense skills plus a beefed up pet is a very formidable build IMO.

Edenwolf.6328:

I have a guardian as my main and would like to roll ranger but there are a couple things stopping me, my main concern is how bad greatsword damage is. It really boggles my mind that my zerker gaurd auto attack chain 3 skill can hit for 5k in pvp and my zerker ranger auto hits for 3k max, concidering ranger has significantly lower base damage on the skill(about 1000 on guard and 600-700 on ranger). On top of this, my guard GS splits utility and dps much like ranger, yet my guard has a burst skill that can crit for 8k, where maul only crits for measly 4k at best.

Warrior has heavy armor with highest health pool, guardian with heavy armor and easy uptime on protection in zerker build(and other defensive buffs) and ranger only has medium armor and medium health pool(with no protection in pure zerker build). Ranger, a class that seems to have the makings of a pure dps class(dps coupled trait lines, crit/crit damage and an attack haste utility) has a greatsword that has significantly worse damage then that of any greatsword wielding class.

I just cant justify as to why the damage is so kittening terrible. I’d like to see it at least brought up to guardian lvl damage.

Why are you completely ignoring the damage output from your pet as well?
