Petless Ranger Please. Yes, this again.

Hate to bump an old thread but I’m just coming back to the game.

I was a dedicated Ranger in GW1 – the game allowed a Ranger to play with or without a Pet; and both were effective.
GW2 forces Rangers to use a pet, and honestly, this is a letdown.
I think the option should be available, I love working with a pet a lot of the time, however, there’s also many occasions I want a build without a pet.
Maybe the next Elite Spec could work towards making this an option, “Hunter or Wanderer”
Pets need a rework, they just have a mind of their own.
The Beastmastery trait line should be dedicated to pets, all pet traits here, none anywhere else.

You definitely need to work on that.

Here’s the build
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vNAQFATnEqAtsgtCCmsCUtglFBDOqmV/qLXuAwRrpc95GBlMtzA-T5AFABCcBAouMAAPAAA

My aim and role I want to play is quick caps and decaps.
The CC’s I have along with Lightning Refleces allows me to keep distance between myself and the enemy.
Ancient Seeds also procs well; I use this to push enemy off node, then Ancient seeds with trigger keeping them in place, allowing me to decap and continue DPS.
Have equipped a second Weapon Set, I don’t usually forget this but I guess I got carried away.
As for Celestial Avatar, I use this as a Personal Heal, I see minimum point in using it in Solo Rated Que.
In Team Que, I would use it more often as there would be greater communication within he team.

uh well, I guess kudos to you for being this brave.

I’ll try give you some Feedback. I play Ranger(Druid) too, currently Diamond.

I’ll Focus on your build choice/playstyle.

I can only guess at your build from the footage

You’re 100% correct with the build.

Charr or Norn?

in Warrior

Posted by: Renn.8241

Renn.8241

It’s hard to give advice on something so subjective, but here goes.

I tend to find Norn extremely boring, as they’re basically just big humans, with the problem of armor stretching and clipping added to them. Lore-wise they’re also not that interesting.

Norn has plenty of interesting a complex Lore

HoT solo build *help wanted*

I had so much fun soloing the whole if HoT with full Clerics Gear.

DPSing mainly through the pet, you’d be surprised how much it can tank with your heals.

Missing pets?

in Ranger

Posted by: Renn.8241

Renn.8241

So the new pets are cool and all, but ever since the game was released 3 years ago I was hoping that one day the raptor would be an available pet to use. And I thought for sure HoT would have it and yet I find myself still disappointed I can’t roam like a pack in prehistoric lands with a raptor. Instead I get bizarre creatures that look like they’re from diablo. If I could just ask a simple favor it would be to have such a plea made into reality. Let rangers have raptors as pet companions to hunt down their prey!

Mini pets.

[Raids] Zealot alternative

You can mix your Clerics with Magi’s if its having too much of an impact on your tank.

How Much crit chance is needed for it to be viable?
Maybe Magi Gear and Cleric Trinkets could be a good mix

[Raids] Zealot alternative

Posted by: Renn.8241

Renn.8241

Something like this? (Crusader + Zealot trinkets)
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vNAQFABA-TVxaABiq+jk6AkVZQRK9AQJIA-w

2259 power
21% crit chance
179% crit dmg
2842 armor
714 healing power

I think the toughness might be too high and I’m not sure if you can get zealot trinkets and crusader stuff.

Unless you’re going for a secondary emergency Healer build or you’re with a very (and I mean very) skillful group;
Clerics should be everyones first choice

[Raids] Zealot alternative

Renn.8241

Keeping the team alive is more important than how much DPS the Druid can put out by itself.
Would you rather the team DPS effectively or worry about their health bar getting low and popping their own heals?

Also the buffs to increase damage that the Druid can put out the team, surpasses the Druids possible DPS – BY FAR.

So Raids and Druids

I’m having an awesome time, full Clerics Gear.
First time healing, ever and had a lot of great feedback.

Using all the skills I can, I’ve found switching off of staff hurts the team.

Using Glyph of tides for the orbs plus Spirits of Sun, Frost and the Elite for “if” the team slips up with green circles and we get a mass down.

I agree, they should revisit the spirits, at least make them able to follow you. They’re such a waste.

And the actual rewards you can earn by just playing the content is extremely low quality compared with what you can get with RL money.

I running a full Clerics build and have been fine soloing 90% of content so far.
Smokescale as a pet with his field and evades plus your hwals is amazing. Soloing a champion becomes a matter of skill and positioning.

I can even drag a group of under levels through dungeons without a problem.

People need to start realising that yes, Druid is a heal class that lacks DPS, but you need to learn how to use your pets, because they complete us.

Druid Heals VS Down State Ally Bugged?

in Ranger

Posted by: Renn.8241

Renn.8241

So I’ve been trying to drop heals on allies and friends who are in down state in order to get them back up.
But it’s literally ineffective, the player doesn’t even receive heals at all so it’s not being mitigated by dmg.

Is this intentional or is it a bug?

Balance PvE and PvP like the old days

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Renn.8241

Renn.8241

I’m tired of PvE skills and traits being nerfed into the ground because of how they effect or perform in PvP.

In some cases the other way around, but I don’t PvP often.

WHY can’t we balance them like in GW1?

Where Skills and Traits where balanced DIFFERENTLY depending on the game type, this isn’t hard, in fact it’s probably kitten easier to please people doing it this way.

Think on it, GW1 wasn’t great by chance and I think too much has been forgotten.

Spirits discussion

in Ranger

Posted by: Renn.8241

Renn.8241

I don’t post often, perhaps that should change.

2: Spirits are susceptible to any form of damage. Again this would be fine if the spirits could move with he ranger out of fields. As it stands one good AOE kills them. The death effect is nice, but is hampered by the fact that it A: requires a lengthy cast time to summon them, and B: has a long cool down.

You are aware that Spirits now take 95% LESS damage unless they are directly targeted.
Meaning AoE and Cleave do pretty much nothing.

I’ve been using the spirits since the change and had no problems, they are great.
Just remember if you’re going to move on, kill the spirits so by the next fight they have CDed

Druid Staff skill 1 - Beam

in Ranger

Posted by: Renn.8241

Renn.8241

haven’t you enough to complain about? the beam is totally fine. it’s kind of skill-based. you’ll build AF as long as u have your pet or a teammate within the beam. rotate around your target and skim through the friendlies. it’s super simple.

What if you need to heal and there is no target?

and what situation would that be in pvp?

PvE – Wyvern Battle, when it takes flight.
What if we just don’t want to target anyway?

~Renn~ Jade Quarry – Norn, – Ranger.

Druid Staff skill 1 - Beam

in Ranger

Posted by: Renn.8241

Renn.8241

The Beam requires an enemy target, meaning you cannot point at an Ally (like with Combat camera) and heal them, as there will be no beam with a target.

I think this needs to be changed.

p.s. Change back SmokeScale
