Yet another sword aa thread…
I don’t think they’re ever going to change it after how many years of us complaining.

Rev’s complain about projectile on AA and get it changed asap, we complain about our leap on AA for several years and get nothing. /logic

Well lets get this post packed full of People ! Share it with other rangers and people who care.
“ITS RANGERS TURN FOR CHANCE LETS MAKE IT WORK”

blitzkrieg.2451:

Should be an option in your control settings , this way people can keep the current existing style if they want and if they want a non-locking feature they can check it off and get that. Of course, anet logic would probably make some kind of kittenty elite trait called ‘Master Of Swords’ and make it to where you need to use the trait to get free movement on sword as a way around it.

I would love to agree with this BUT why should we have a Trait when other classes have it base line.

Change sword auto attack from auto lock to a controllable 3 swing.
Raid machainics + ranger sword AA don’t work. Having to tare your character off its so annoying and makes it hard to do certain things.
I would suggest reworking the animation.
If anyone else agrees please say so. Change doesnt happened we push for it . just look at the other class forums they push and get what they want. Its rangers turn.

It is very viable in pvp.
Why do you think it’s not ?

I feel like you’re better off going staff/greatsword or sword and torch than going longbow in pvp.

It really just depends on with build you play tbh, if you are playing druid staff is better.

It is very viable in pvp.
Why do you think it’s not ?

ProtoMarcus.7649:

Sword has amazing DPS, and for the lockon, it’s really annoying, as I find it really useful at times, and other times, the complete opposite ahaha

I think IF they could manage to code it so the AUTOLEAP wouldn’t LEAP out of cliffs/out of platforms, it’d be thousand times better.

I like to be able to stick to my moving target,
I hate to leap of a platform to my death

I tried to use it in the raids and just found myself getting hit by raid mechanics other classes can easily step back and avoid ….
Maybe they could add in a new animation or something

ProtoMarcus.7649:

With equal stats

• Staff Auto ANY RANGE in 5s
  3450 dmg

• Longbow Auto, LESS THAN 500 RANGE in 5s
  3409 dmg
• Longbow Auto, 500 TO 1000 RANGE in 5s
  3896 dmg
• Longbow Auto, 1000+ RANGE in 5s
  4382 dmg

So, it seems to deal better damage than LB at close range, but LB is better at long range.

Longbow’s skills all deal damage, and Rapid Fire is a huge DPS skill.

Staff only has 2 weapon skills that deal damage, it is mainly a support/defensive weapon so the DPS is still pretty low. A good thing about the Solar Beam auto-attack is that it ‘pierces’, is NOT a projectile (so not reflectable) and can affect 3 allies and 3 enemies.

It is true that rapid fire has good DPS, I’m just feeling down after seeing other classes damage compared to ranger atm.
What do you thing about the sword atm ? Do you thing it would benefit from not being lock on and maybe a slight damage increase or effect of somesort

Not sure if im going crazy but im sure staff auto attack is doing more/maybe slighty less damage than my longbow…
ive tested in pvp and im sure its close…..
if thats the case shouldnt lowbow be more powerfull i mean it is a damage weapon. look at rev hammer for eg
Also i love sword and the lock on animation but im getting tired of it, ive been playing since lunch and i want a normally 3 swing auto attack no lock on i want to be able to move around my target with out having to use 3 on sword. Also compared to other classes i feel like my damage in pve is meh
Ive been playing chronomancer in the raids and our group just cleared the first boss ( here is link) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3o5nroFyOw
I dunno i just feel like playing dps is laughable when you have so many other classes doing so much more dps.

i have had the same amount of wins and lose for the past 3 months is it broken ?

Been checking the last 4 days and my wins and loses havent been updated
is its a problem with the leaderboards or just me

Doesnt work anything else i can try ?

I get really bad Screen Tearing when in 5760×1080 , only game i have that does it is there a fast fix ?
my hardware is :
cpu : i5 2500k Oc 4.2ghz
Gpu: Gtx970
8gb ram

Have i missed it ? because i cant be online 100% of the time for admin ,is there a way to add people as admin

While roaming my servers borderlands i noticed bay was under attack, doing the early morning shift wasn’t expecting anything tbh , then i see a platinum evader in an Omega golem attacking the wall so i jumped on the nearest cannon and started firing him down only to find he was teleporting from left to right while firing at me on the cannon, at first i thought it was lag…..nope because once he got to inner bay he jumped out , i quickly burst his health down and stomped him, within seconds the same player was back in the golem he then jumped out attacked me again and this time got the better of me , after he killed me i saw his character tp to the golem and start attacking again.
so that’s the story right. but my question is HOW do i report Hackers. There is no option for it.

This Grandmaster trail says its Removes Conditions and gains furys when using a Survival skill, Conditions removed is 2
but on the survival skill Entangle its only 1 when it states to remove 2.

Bump for Rof baby !

my first char was a ranger , but i have all chars lvl 80 all with 300+ hours logged

Yes i understand the 1V1 unfair advantage with classes, But i should have mentioned that Certain classes benfit better from Full dps specs that others , e.g rangers full zerker do ok damage but theres no other way to keep the damage similar and be tanky , where are other classes like ele or warrior can dps really hard and take lots of damage.
dont get me wrong i know ranger is in need of a fix but so are other classes.

where i found information

Why is it Dps is being reduced when you have these unbelievable tanky build that max dps in the first place dont effect.
I understand its main for Pve because support rolls dont really matter too much.
but does that mean Pvp and wvw are effected too ? tbh not really bothered about wvw you do loads of damage anyways with food buffs and other wvw bonuses.
Pvp at its current state to mean seems very broken too me and i have stopped playing atm till fixes or new game types happen.

Overall it feels like we are getting punished for wanting to play superglassy 0% surival builds instead of being tanks.
if anyone thinks im seeing it wrong please enlighten me i would love feed back.

woeye.2753:

Jonesy, there’s a good thread about thiefs and rangers:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/ranger/how-do-you-kill-a-stealth-thief/first

Look at the posts from Puandro and Xsorus. It’s quite interesting.

they borth have valid points i would say

not to sure about the builds yeah theys good for protection and healing , but no damage i like to be able to kill someone fast so they are like wtf happend there lol

rangers can beat thiefs no problem .
my best friend has a thief and we did pvp 1vs1 since the game begun and because i now know what move looks like what i can dodge use pet for fear on the right times and immoblise with entangle and muddy Terran

tbh i think the thief is a great support class , but running away like to heal up and try again is what they do so ahh who cares at less we can get more drops in a wvw zerg fight :L

with out being sounds like an kitten , where is the fun in this setup ? , being able to heal out anyones damage thats cool yeah but no fuin in it :/

check out my build and gameplay tell me what you think,
