I think you need to get to level 80 and the higher end zones and WvW before you make a statement like that.
Then you’ll start to see how rubbish the pet is and how the Ranger is lacking and lacklustre in all aspects.
Way to encourage a player who seems to be enjoying the class. No one likes a Moody Mandy.
OP:
Rangers arent as bad as people make them out to be, sure there are bugged traits and ridiculous traitlines, silly utilities and mediocre elites. More classes than the Ranger suffer from those issues
He wasn’t being moody, he was just stating the fact that due to the pet mechanics ranger isn’t as good end game and in instances. IE Kholer’s spin kills your pet always.
Ranger’s isn’t as bad as most people think but adding a “Pets take 65% Less dmg from AoE” mechanic would do WORLDS of good for their end game.
