Guild Wars 2

Considering it was a DPS loss over just auto attacking, I think this change is justified.

What they should do though, is change it to an instant cast, single big hit ability rather than a channel of lots of little hits. That way it can be entirely dodged / blocked / reflected. Call it kill shot or something.

I love all the tears, rangers are SUPPOSED to be the strongest ranged combatants, we rely on our pets, and given the kitten poor AI and lack of useful controls for the pets, we’re significantly missing our peak performance, but oh hey, rangers are finally what EVERY OTHER CLASS WAS, FOR 2 kittenING YEARS, BETTER NERF THEM AGAIN.

Every other class can pew pew pew people in 3 hits ? What game have you been playing ? On a more serious note,there is something terribly wrong with the dmg output from rangers ( Think back to the pet dmg increase patch,that got nerfed really fast )..in this case,they just messed up..yet again.

I’m guessing you’ve never been backstabbed for over 7k, or hit by a warrior for over 8k… do you even PvP?

At least with rapid fire you can dodge roll the 2nd half of it to mitigate the damage down to around 4k. It’s not that hard.

Rangers have been bursting people down for ages using quickening zephyr + rapid fire. Now they don’t need to use zephyr just to make rapid fire actually usefull…

Don’t really see why people are complaining. They still do less damage than every other class as pets are factored into their damage, and we all know how good pets are at hitting a moving target…
