Some of you are missing my point. Let me clear it up for you.
I started this game 4 weeks ago. I tried every profession and seemed to love the “ranger profession” more than the others. I invested time and money into, Not just play time, but time to get good. First indication to me how bad this class is should of been when i really couldnt find any stand-outs or any really good information concerning the profession. Most ppl i talked to or read were very unclear as to how the ranger worked specifically. Not alot of technical skill videos, montages, or at play vids could be found that werent under 3 + months old. But I ventured on.
Now I have come to understand fully that this class is really broken on so many levels. The truth is, Not one of you can purley tell me how this class is to be presented in the context of this game. There is no definition to this profession at all by ANET. There isnt 1 build that works over another build. There isnt even a build that stands out more than others. I promise you, take any other class skill for skill gear for gear, and you will find it does most of the sand box better than this class.
look online and you can see stand outs all over in the other classes with virtually 1-3 possible builds that work very effeciently.
Point is – in 2 weeks i was 80 and working hard at my gear. The gear i decided on was to out range, evade in up close combat, kite and allow my pet to do 50% of the work. What i found was astonishing. I found that play style does now work. So i compromised. I went to melee, and that my friends is where the patch came in. Now, to enjoy this game i had a choice. 1.) do WvW to get all those badges back to buy gear that may or may not work with a new build, or 2.) run PVE to get that same gear (which i loath), or 3.) buy it from the auction house.
This is unacceptable to me. If someone told me, “hey come play this game, choose a professions, level it up, and then spend countless hours tweaking, gearing and regearing till you find something that actually works to meet your play style, but oh you wont find it”. I would of told them to kitten off.
So, here we are. None of you guys can legitamatley tell me what works and what doesnt work. We are all argueing about whether or not the profession should excel at range or close corders….but your all missing the point.! We dont excel at anything for any reason. And for me to spend another countless amount of hours trying out another build, running around gearing up for it, buying runes, getting legendarys, just to find im kittened? no thanks… If i want to play this game it will have to be with a class that works.
Dont miss understand me, every class has some limitations. I truley understand that. But this is broken and you guys should be mad as kitten for it. You paid good money and here we are with a pet that can not even stay on target, a bow that stops auto attacking for unknown reasons and 5 different pairs of gear to that take hours to equip, plus countless other glitches and designer mishaps, just to try out the class.
My time is valuable to me. I choose to play online games for the fun of it. This isnt fun. Less than a month ago i paid money for a game that was suppose to work. It doesnt IMO. And we as a community can allow developers to develop a game while we sit and wait patiently for “our turn” or we can demand it to work now!
Thanks for your time,
1.) pre patch
2.) cool. Now ur GS has more range than my short bow
3.) nice vids
I swear I am never playing a ranged class again in any game ever…Something about rangers/hunters that game desingers just cant get..either they are OP or UP…..they should hire me to fix everything…
“Range” r…..is now “Melee” r. It is the new “support” class. You can tank, heal, cast boons, debuffs. But if you want damage or to get kills..you have to KS for them cause you wont be able to 1v1.
I’ve been experimenting with almost every build in everyway. Unless a GW2 employee can actually tell me what I’m doing wrong (not some number monkey, which flood these forums) Then i can honestly tell you without a doubt. the Ranger class has no place in the top spots either in Spvp, WVW or PVE.
I would absolutely love, in everyway, an employee prove to me I am wrong. Show me a build that works in Roaming WvW /SCouting and i will back down and apologize. Other than that I am not playing a game that “Baits n Switches”. (which is illegal btw)
A game that you spend more time number crunching, tweaking, and researching MORe than you actually get to play is not worth playing. I just spent the last 48 hours preparing, implementing , rehearsing and executing almost every build there is in the game with almost every peice of gear there is in the game for our class. NONE of them can scout properly.
I get out ranged, out meleed, out healed, out CC’d and out escaped better by every other class.
I refuse to reroll. My time is to precious to me. I will wait till this unsung hero can show me the secrets of this new patch and how it is implemented in the game with the Ranger , excuse me, the Meleer class.
Thank you for reading,
have you made any changes to the build from what the calculator shows? If so what changes?
pve, spvp, wvw?
@dardamaniac- ur build is for spvp ya? Cause in wvw u would be the one getting melted I believe. Let me know what gear ur running.
oh and what pets do u use?
so far i am running apothecary set instead of settlers cause settelers is going to be almost near impossible to get on my server (tried to guest on two other servers with the same luck). Im doing really well actually lol. 7 of us took on about 20 or so and survived with no prblms…
very good build so far. just need to get some gold to fnish the rest off.
getting settlers is impossble bro..the island has be secured by a ton of ppl and well, being that im on one of the most populated servers and NO ONE wants to do this….what is a good gear alternative?
what weapons are u useing? bezerker or invader?
one word for you, “bait-n-switch”….every MMO has it. welcome to the “chaos success wagon”…que Agent Smith, Morpheus convo. Now 1/6th of every server has to spend 100+ hours rerolling….gaurenteed income! GG
…i just bought it 2 weeks ago…im a sad kitten now
Just started playing 3 weeks ago. Put a lot of hours into playing to lvl to 80 and gear power, vitality, toughness gear with lb/sb combo. Just spent over 450 badges, 250k karma and 15gold gearing and rehearing my ranger. Now I have to rehear again for some clerical build…..I want my money back anet. I want my time back.
…/cry I just wanna out range ppl, kite them and kill them…I mean ow hard is that to create? 2700 hunter in world of Warcraft and now I have to poke ppl with daggers and horns while healing myself to victory……ugh
Chops could u be more specific with the building refer to? Like gear, weapon traits etc. and are uncertain that I can kill with that?
NEw to Game, new to ranger, only profession – level 80 in 2 weeks. I am currently doing SB/LB (ya i know, who would of guessed a “range” r would have to go melee) anways, where do i start…i just bought all the power, vitaltiy, toughness gear with karma, badges etc…I really want to just stick with my ranger isntead of rerolling mesmer, theif, ele…can you assist me with this transformation?
My goals are to be able to freely roam, engage when i want to, and disengage safely when i feel the heat on.
Thanks in advance!
Hey, just started this game about 3 weeks ago. I have an 80 ranger (which i really love) but im frustrated because I can not seem to roam and win any 1v1’s. Right now I am carrying LB/SB (both zerker)with Power/Toughness/Vitality gear with some Zerker rings, ammy neck that my friend bought me.. I am using 2 spiders as my pet for the hard CC. The new patch came out today and I am just wondering what i should be doing and what I am doing wrong. I am willing to try anything so please just throw it out there. Please be as specific as possible cause i am a newbie to this game. I am not knowledgable so please try not to use alot of abreviations.
My goal is to roam freely with good escapes and hard punching damage. I would love to gank 1v2’s+ if possible. I want to take camps & disrupt as much as possible.
I dont feel there is enough Ranger information out there currently that is viable to use. I have looked long and hard and dont see many ppl succeeding well roaming-wise. If that is tru please put down what class would you recommend to complete the goals i have! Thanks in advance!
