since disabler . i saw more open – field fights in wvw maps . better militia kill the enemies and take the price of the loot and the belt from lord.

in my view , wvw became better than before with disabler

p.s. there are always the trebs-omega-catapults-balista- ac that are out of trap range . only ram affect so much the disabler

YESSS that’s what I wanted, open field fighting. I wanted to PvP so badly that’s why I came to WvW
< / sarcasm >

WvW is supposed to be about siege battles and counter siege. You want to fight, go PvP

Actually, that’s what some of us want. More big open field fighting. It’s a lot more fun than just trading undefended towers with the other 2 teams.

If you clump all your siege in one spot and get disabled, then GG for the defenders.

Siege Disablers +1

Sorry folks but all I am seeing in this thread is just knee-jerk reactions after only a day. Everyone has been so used to just running around in a ball and whacking towers out one after the other and collecting karma/loot.

That’s what WVW had become. Boring.

Sieging should be a big deal and take some strategy rather than repeating the cookie-cutter tactic.

It’s still possible to siege – you just have to use your brains now.

I for one think siege disablers are a great idea. Sieges were boringly easy.

Working as intended as the tricks use up supply.

Hint: Trait-Treb some cows in the tower/keep and drain defender’s supply.

On that note, the tower-ram train was getting boring and aggravating for anyone that wanted any chance at defense without a zerg.

I like them and love the challenge of a new problem to solve.

We need a marsupial line. I want my dreams of rapid firing out of a kangaroo’s pouch to be realized.

Dear Anet,

Pls fix the pet AI/control before swinging a nerf bat at it.

Thx

Like some other folks, came back to GW2 after a bit of a vacation to try out all the new goodies, especially for WvW. Love the new ranks, abilities and rewards. Definitely puts a new fresh coat of ponies and rainbows on the thing.

However, there is one thing I miss and miss often. Defending.

Gone are the days where we sat in a keep or tower, turrets manned and furiously defending our supply lines with arrow-soaked bloodbaths. The satisfaction of actually taking and holding territory was rewarding with our guild banner’s flying in the wind while we made obscene gestures to the opposing side from our walls, taunting them to come at us again.

Now, WvW seems like a giant game of this – http://youtu.be/tkzWZyCju_U – in the case of giant human-norn-asura-char-pedes circle the wvw map in search of badge food.

Seriously, what happened? Can we tweak something to make WvW fun as it was again??

Ultravalefor, you are a scholar and a gentleman.
Thanks, I’ll give your advice a try.

I am trying not to rant, but this is about as constructive as I can get. Aside from all the numerous threads on negative feelings on Rangers, this one focuses on WvW.

In PvE – We’re awesome, but so is mostly everyone else.
In PvP – We’re .. hmm.. Ok
In WvW – I am still trying to figure out where I fit.

In the beginning days where most everyone was 1-50, things were pretty much even. Now, after a couple patches and lots rolling with max gear, things get frustrating, very fast. I really really want to enjoy WvW in my ranger, but more and more I am growing out of options.

As a level 77 with full exotic gear I am spending my time running or running away. Every once in a while I will send in my pet and plink away with a short bow, but I quickly get overrun if I stay too long and any warrior or thief in range, I am cooked.

Pets seem to be where the heavy DPS comes in, but they die any time they are noticed.

For melee, I have tried GS, Sword / Dagger, Sword / Torch, Dual Axes, everything. Nothing seems to have any decent effect compared to say, a warrior or guardian.

Also tried traps in combination with the above. Which does show a little promise, but in a WvW situation, there is little to do when you are being perma stunned/knocked down when you stayed a little too long.

As for longbow, that’s where things feel even worse. Especially after today after getting into a shooting match with another warrior with his Longbow and seeing the amazing DPS he has with his, and the laughable damage I have against his heavy armor.

So really, where is the use in being a ranger? Just blowing a horn to ferry people along? Or is there some kind of real use that I am missing other than just applying light pressure damage at range.

Rangers are half baked. Plain and simple. An entire trait and skill line is near-utterly useless (Nature Magic + Spirits). And there are noticeable design flaws, and bugs that have not yet been addressed.

To top it off, it seems that every patch with ranger updates seems to make things worse and worse.

Warriors do nearly exactly what rangers do, but 10x better.

• They have better ranged abilities with 2 ranged options, long bow and rifle — and they roll face with it. Seriously, our ranged options are really that pitiful compared to theirs.
• Understandably, they melee better and melee/mid range is the ranger’s really only thing left that we have that is worthwhile.
• Warrior banners totally outclass our spirits in every way.
• Warriors do not however, have pets which is what is supposed to make up for our shortcomings. However, pets are slow, unresponsive and unreliable most of the time.

If A-Net paid some attention to our spirits and pets a bit more, they can solve most of these issues. But many patches later, we only feel let down and in some cases insulted with the nerfs to our already deflated class.

^^^^^^^ please. A-net.. you gaud darn listening??

Never got it working correctly.. just one bolt at the end of the whirl animation every time it seems.

Please fix ANet, this still only procs just 1 small “pew” at the end. Was working till about up to launch, and has been broken ever since.
