Trust me, every thread that I saw complaining about rangers made me wanna level mine up more, just to show that rangers aren’t useless/crap/low-DPS/… (pick some).
Ranger is alright. If you ever want to pvp with it be ready to have to carry 1v1 fights all day. Allies will assume you will cap every side point while they mindlessly zerg mid.
In WvW you will do alright roaming, but in zergs you can either be meat in the zerg or you can sacrifice all damage to bring control skills.
PvE just go 100% dps with longbow, greatsword, sword, axe, and warhorn. They will cover you for every dungeon and boss you will fight. Groups should be chill with you if you bring drake, frost spirit, and spotter.
well I’ve always liked the ranger, I actually was leveling a ranger on the 3 day head start before the game fully released but my friend rolled a ranger too so i decided to just roll another class to give some diversity in our lil group lol.
but as far as pvp will come after I get geared in exotics or rare gear which will be easy anyways. but as far as those pets? Frost spirit idk what that even is lmao or a spotter. I have a drake already but its one from the charr starting place or w/e. I do have pretty much every weapon set in my bags just to level the skils up anyways. and in case i get bored playing with certain weapon sets.
people were saying ranged ranger sucks, so I guess I need to use a GS and a some other combination for leveling ?
So you’d rather blindly believe what some forum trolls post instead of trying out for yourself? If that is indeed how you plan to play the game, leave your ranger and get a warrior. Lots of spoon-feeding threads in the warrior subforum for builds and such as well..
Oh thanks for the awesome help, I’ll prolly level up a warrior last. as I’m leveling my ranger atm; thanks for the build/trait help really appreciated. your information on ranger was extremely useful!! when can I read your guide ?
and btw there is more than one forum that is complaining about rangers, but its okay I’m enjoying my ranger.
oh yeah I’ve read enough to know that sb/lb isnt good at 80. I’m only level 20 atm i havnt started leveling again because I want to figure out the weapon set ups I’ll be using beforehand. and I guess I’ll jus stick with Power until i can get the zerker stats.
Yeah, if I can use a Shortbow/Longbow all the way up to 80 with out it sucking then ill do that, but everything im reading about is for lv 80 weapons/traits etc.. just want to use weapons that’ll make leveling cruise control destroying mobs without much effort if that is possible.
So for leveling a ranger what would be the most efficient leveling strategy(as in weapons/traits/utilities-etc..)? Everyone is making the ranger sound pretty sweet for wvw/dungeons. I’ve got my eyes on Ranger now thanks to everyone thats posting in this topic.
well I have a guardian(80) and thief(80) already, and I have a ranger/necro and one other character slot to level up with so I guess it looks like necro. lol I have fun with both of them just want something strong lol in pve/pvp. (my guardian is good tho I love my guardian, just need a new class to play around with lol)
well my ranger is only 20 so I need to (solo) level him up to 80 that would be the first thing I need to do and after that I’ll prolly try and do wvw with a mix of dungeons.
I guess I’ll have to do the dungeons for gear to do wvw unless there is wvw specific gear
I’ve got a level 20 ranger and a level 20 necro trying to decide which one to level up next
I’ve got my mind on the ranger tho….

thanks to everyone thats posting in this topic.
