Let me explain something. We lost a considerable damage percentage for an stupid and weak AI. You and your pet entering and leaving the combat mode together reducing their forward movement speed, increases the cooldown on swapping weapon sets, and prevents the character from changing his equipped items or skills. This can get you in trouble if you have trying to escape besides taking the logic of you use the pet as an object of distraction and give you time to change some trait, skill or weapon. Many of our skills and Traits involve “Pet Gain” and “Pet Deals” for AI that dies very easily. Our signets are ridiculous and spends trait with this to share active skill is unthinkable. GW2 on the Range is extremely attached to Pet up more than it should be. The Pet is a weak, stupid and without damage AI without sharing anything in return unless a Skill (F2) with a CD extremely high and that the vast majority is crap.
I love Ranger, was and is my number 1 class in other mmos but in GW2 i left it a little aside. Why? Doesn’t work, the mechanics of GW2 is far from GW1. We lost our firepower and our ability to defend themselves (Stance GW1), when he changed the game mechanics. The warrior skills with a Longbow are better and do more damage than the class made ??to play with Bow … I’m lying? Only you compare the skills, do not forget to see the “combustive Shot”. Where is our fire arrow? Many GW1 skills was transferred for other classes … Bow shot, double shot, Choking Gas, among others. There is a big gap between the Ranger GW1 and Ranger GW2, this class is no longer a Ranger but a Beastmaster. For me and I think for most people the good Ranger was playing with the bow but the horrible choices of skills associated with constant nerfs and a bad mechanics for Pet made ??me leave it aside.
Compare the sPvP with WvWvW is totally insane. The Ranger can even be good in sPvP but in WvWvW is sucks. The differences between the sets of sPvP and WvWvW is absurdly high so stop comparing them.
In WvWvW enemies will laugh in your face and will dance on their bodies. Especially if the enemy is one Thief, Warrior, Mesmer, Necro (conditions) or an Elementalist (d / d).
I believe the Ranger in GvG it will be a crap if it is selected to participate.
Below is the list of skills to the GW1 Ranger who does not know and see the difference.
