Pretty much what I was going to say. Instead of using a stationary golem, use a moving one.

Then prepare to measure your results in minutes instead of seconds.

Use the 30% mov speed trait = problem solved
Use a ranged pet = problem solved
Use both = amazing.

It’s like saying i can’t hit from 1.200+ range because i refuse to use anything but an axe.

There is a reason why you can change pets anytime (outside combat), anywhere.

Wrong. Pets get rooted in place when they attack, while your target moves out of range. Birds have 300 range on most of their attacks and they STILL whiff 50% of the time. Ranged pets have generally pretty crappy dps from what I can tell, so problem is still there.

Reichbane.6297:

I should mention, as a beastmaster, that pets are way more OP once you’re traited into them. I can send my Lynx into 5 mobs and go afk only to come back to everything being dead and my Lynx sitting there like “That was it? What’s next?” Group events are trivial with the heal on critical trait, I do supporting damage with my bow and he’ll chunk away at the bosses health. I do wish my character could do more damage though. Because my pet—traited for BM/damage—does more damage than I do—traited for condition or precision/power. That’s the only downside.

This build sounds pretty awesome, you should totally share it!

Oh crap! Now I think they’ve gone too far. Splinter Shot got buffed. Prepare for the other professions to whine about the new terrors of the deep. (Note: emphasis on sarcasm)

Thats just hilarious! But be quiet they might nerf it!

Actually thinking of starting my Ranger over and calling him Scuba Steve. Just hang out in the lake in WvW.

lmfao. It’s the many comments like these since the patch notes hit that I’m almost glad ranger keeps getting shafted.

Thanks for clearing this up. I was confused about paid tourneys.

Unrelated side note
You should go talk to the people in the ranger forum, they’re pretty mad.
