Ok i have to jump in right now.
First i want to cc the description of Anet for the Ranger.
“Ranger
Rangers rely on a keen eye, a steady hand, and the power of nature itself. Unparalleled archers, rangers are capable of bringing down foes from a distance with their bows. With traps, nature spirits, and a stable of loyal pets at their command, rangers can adapt to any situation.”
All of that sounds nice to me
Only question left is, when will this Class be integrated into the game?
I cant wait to play that class as described in the Anet text ^^
Hi everyone.
First of all tyvm for the support u guys are giving to us ranger players.
To be honest I almost had lost my believe in the community, always thinking that we the rangers, the masters of the bows (as long as a thief or warrior dose not come along with one to kill u or your spirits and pet), would get some attention by all of the players and not be left back alone to the nerf angry developers.
While Tyria and its battlegrounds seem to be a place where all other professions have found a place to be useful, we the rangers are being abused just for our spirits. We only have one job to do. Go to pvp build a spirit ranger and go defend a point as long as possible. That’s all we can do at the moment.
Everyone I know is playing WvW and everyone is just asking me to change my char when I’m joining a group in WvW, even thou it is a level 80 full exo/accendet one. I feel like a player joining a gunfight with a spoon. Like I would be a twink Lvl 10 ore something. I always counter whith my spirits who could help, but the reaction is: What spirits dude, you mean this shi……. Dying in the very first second of a zerk fight?
I react whit: Butt friend c’mon I have a larg water field right
, but the reaction is: Go make an backline ele dmg dealing AND giving 2 Waterfields while dealing dmg like he’ll thanks to all stat gear whith crit dmg crazy like hell. So I have no arguments left, since an ele even has 2 explo finishers.
I do not know one guild which is playing competitive gvg’s using the ranger. No one wants us anywhere except for pvp bunker jobs.
To get some importance in WvW I would prefer to see the ranger as the only class being able to throw a water field. That would make us useful as support at least, and it would be something special only being delivered by the ranger.
I know it sounds radical and all of u will hate me but when I spoke to guild leaders to Commanders and to players, they al agreed on the point that rangers would be needed strongly, when being the only class able to throw water fields. Ele’s have so much fields they can throw, so pleas take away the water field from them make it a light field, and give the rangers the option on longbow 5 to let not only arrows rain but also a water field. So in the game there would still be a class being able do deal with 2 water fields, the longbow would become useful, and the ranger wold be needed badly in WvW, and all that would be done without eavan a single one dmg boost to anything at all. This would be a first step. The second one is off course the useles pet ai a strange one handed sword dealing more dmg than the two handed one ?? Haha sounds strange, WELL AT LEAST IT SHULD!!!!
So I want to tyvm for your support and your attention dear GW2 players.
One final word to my Ranger loving players: As long as there is hope for change, as long as there is justice as long as there are at least some other strong competitors I believe in the power of the customer, of the paying player, the gamer, The Ranger using a Bow or eaven maybe two to show the World of Tyria THAT:
WE THE RANGERS ARE STILL ALIVE, THAT NOONE CANN KILL US NO MATTER HOW OFTEN THEY TRY. NO NERF INCOMING CAN HURT US ANY MORE. THE MOST EPIC OF FACEPALMS HAS BEEN ALREADY MADE WHEN INTRODUCING THE AQUA-MAN PATCH.
WE WILL SURVIVE ALL THE BUGS THE NERF’S THE BROKEN AI’S OF OUR PET’S AND WE WILL BE RISING, LIKE THE PHOENIX DID, FROM THE ASHES OF OUR BROKEN USELES SKILLTREES, WEAPPONS, PET’S AND UTILITY SKILLS. ONE DAY EVERY COMANDER EVERY GROUP EAVEN RED GUARD THE ALL MIGHTY LORDS OF GVG WILL BE CALLING FOR US TO COME BACK TO THE ETERNAL BATTLEGROUNDS AND LEAD THEM TO VICTORY AGAINST ALL THE THREATS OF ALL THE ENEMY’S TREATING THE PEAC IN TYRIA.
ANet THE RANGERS ARE CALING FOR U, ARE U WHITH US AND WANT US BACK ON THE BATTLEGROUNDS OR ARE U WHITH THE ENEMY TERRORIZING TYRIA WHITH EPIC NERF’S AND USELES BUFFS?
To my beloved dev team at ANet: U know what, go fix the ranger, cuz otherwise justice will be done by the army of the rangers in a way u would never have expected. ;D
I can hear Eric Cartman calling for u. ^^
Some ranger discussion.
Power Rangers
No pun intended. As many have said these guys are in an interesting position. In some ways they can be very strong, but everytime I play my ranger this way it feel like it comes up a little bit short. I think this is because they are lacking a few things as either additional tools for greatsword or as utilities. Signets are the somewhat obvious utility choice but their effect is too varied to run a strong full signet build here. Conversely all traits associated with signets tend to increase in power the more you bring. What signets need is a good trait that synergizes with bringing a single signet, like Nature’s Voice does for shouts. This would let you bring maybe one or two signets and suppliment them with something else. One idea we talked about for Greatsword would be to take the evade off of the 3rd attack of the auto-chain and put it on swoop. This would give you a second on-demand defensive skill and instead we put something less timing based (for example a whirl finisher) on that third attack to empower it.Thanks,

How can you hope power Rangers to succeed when you still haven’t given them the tools all other power based classes seem to take for granted? The class still has no realistic options for burst or AE. Perhaps if the class offered a ton of utility I could understand offensive options being so poor, but it doesn’t have utility either. There’s a reason the Ranger class consistently ranks 8th of 8 classes in WvW. It simply doesn’t do anything.
The only 2 skills this class has for real burst is Maul and Path of Scars. Nearly every other attack for this class does roughly the same damage as our #1 skill. You then introduce traits like Remorseless and Moment of Clarity that have no real impact on anything but burst skills. Who cares if a low damage auto-attack crits or does 150% more damage? AE is just as bad. A LOT of our skills affect only 3 targets instead of 5 like real AEs. Barrage is our only real AE classwide. Given the lower damage, very limited value in cripple, and the fact that it hits 5 targets multiple times killing us due to retaliation, it’s of no real value either. What does that leave? Piercing arrows?
Worse still is the fact that nearly every single utility option this class has REQUIRES an enormous trait investment before it’s even worth slotting on our bar. Most of our signets are awful until you get 30pts in marks. Most traps are awful until you invest 30pts. Spirits are awful without 20pts next patch (but really likely 30 still). We need a 30pt trait to still have some of the worst solutions to conditions of any class in the game (mesmers have it worse, but who else?). We have no reason to get Remorseless at all. Moment of Clarity is only really useful in a hilt+bash roll. We still need 4 marksmanship traits but only have room for 2 if we plan to use a longbow despite other classes (warriors) having the same traits combined.
If you legitimately want a power based Ranger to succeed in this game you need to throw us a bone already. Something needs to change.
So So So True. The fact that we are the jocke Class of WvW is so Frustrationg. I allready hope that there will be an other mmo soon whit a real RANGer
clas
No real AOE no real support for Zerg, petts diying instantly, and ghosts are like a facepalm joke equipped in WvW. The fact that i was forced by my guild to lvl up a guard or a Warrior or an ele or a nec or what ever instead of a Ranger is statemant enough. The Designers of the Ranger should never again deseign a class in any MMO. Thats my oppinion. How poor is it, that you descripe the ranger as the master of the Bow, but in fact you have to play the Ranger as a Mele in GvG WvW. The reason why the ranger was or until Dec. 10 will be OP in pvp was just a proof of ungiven attention to the class and nothing eles.
