Guild Wars 2

Also good for mobtagging is flametrap, with the trait that makes it able to be thrown and longbow Barrage.

As for builds, I use shortbow and axe/warhorn, with Rampage as one. Also, take Healing Spring, it rules, especialy in dungeons. The Warhorn and RaO will ive you a lot of swiftness to help you reach everything in PVE faster.

Also, whatever I do I take 5 points in Wildreness Survival for that awesome endurance regeneration minor trait.

They are beasts in PvE and great in Dungeons. Ignore the whines, they are in every single forum not just ranger one.

I am quite surprised that all of the posts so far weren’t whines about how the entire class is unplayable and he should just reroll a warrior.

I don’t like the downed skills in general. The only skill you should have is to slowly revive yourself.

That would kind of remove the entire point of the downed state, though.

You absolutely can, if you enjoy the playstyle and are willing to move past broken pets and weak skills. Rangers are really good for leveling and any kind of solo PVE. They also have an easy acces to swiftness and quickness. Their elites are actually good, compared to a lot of elites other professions get (hello Tornado).

A lot of the issues in dungeons come with the fact that pets die almost immidiately, especially to the one shot mechanics some bosses have that they can’t dodge.

Really, it just feels off. More like a skill Elementalist should have, or a placeholder from beta. So when I get downed my Ranger suddenly realizes that he had elemental powers all along and starts zapping people with lightning? Or is the the 2 skill just you pleading for mercy until Dwayna takes pity on you for rolling this UP class and blasts your target with lightning to make you shut up?

Any ideas on what it could be replaced with? In the distant time when Ranger isn’t plagued by so many bugs and useless skills that they actually have time for something like this.
