Guild Wars 2

What i want is an archer. Ranger without pet. Or call them scouts

If your team plays the right builds you dont need to waste a slot for more healing

We are trying to suggest improvements to the devs but they dont care too much. Badges are harder to farm and worth less.

i think the lockdown is not a good idea. i played a tps name global agenda. they have something similar to wvw and time zone based mapps. after a time, a zone closes and an other opens.

Its intended. Once they wrote they will make a wvw version

This game is not about soloing open world things. Btw you can solo almost everything with any profession. Open pve is easy and just something what fill the place between boss events and dungeons

For wvw the hammer is the must have! In pve yes… Hammer is meh…
What i use: knight armor and weapons hammer/sword+wh soldier/dolyak/melandru runes or just ruby orbs with a mixed set of pvt/knight/zerker/celestial (your pick) trinkets. The point is the 3.3k ++ armor (i have 3.6k)
I use 1/0/6/4/3 traits and if you dont have an organized guild zerg i suggest healing signet, balanced stance and endure pain, dolyak signet + banner elite.

Nono. Just work for your gift! No more achivement chest gift for you

Somebody noticed the rangers! O.o

Pet system is bad. Maybe 6-10 more months and they will do something
Or not

Some ranger discussion.

Power Rangers
One idea we talked about for Greatsword would be to take the evade off of the 3rd attack of the auto-chain and put it on swoop. This would give you a second on-demand defensive skill and instead we put something less timing based (for example a whirl finisher) on that third attack to empower it.

Main-hand sword
I just want to clarify for good that main hand sword is currently working as intended. All movement skills cannot be interrupted by dodging and this is currently intentional. It has a very specific play style, and I would like it to remain. I understand that rangers want a one handed melee option that is more mobile, but that will have to wait, as I know there are a mix of players who also like how this weapon plays and I do not want to take away one of the more unique playstyles that we have and replace it with something that is fairly common.

Thanks,

Jon

pls dont remove evade from chain! GS the only useful weapon in zerg fights ATM and we need a blast finisher on GS, not a whirlwind. If u remove that we lose third of our survivability in big fights (and we are a mid armor class not a warrior with 3,5k+ armor).

The funny thing with rangers we need to trait 30 point on a trait if we want one of our utility to work. 30 points on marks for signets, 30 points of skirmish for traps, 30 points on nature for spirits and 30 point nature+10 point on beast line for shouts. I think this is the rangers 2nd greatest problem (after the pets). Pls make signets to affect us without trait and shouts to buff allis if traited

Rangers get a big love, but they stil not touched the pet problem.

in wvw toughness is everything.

Wvw should work as spvp. Enter and you are lvl 80 and you can change gears any time at spawn

Its war. War never adept to you, you must adept to war.

Btw rapid fire is not a burst skill. If you cant evaid a 2.5 sec skill… Go and play helo kitty online

We run 2-3 engis of our own for waterfields/blasting/CC or heavy nuke damage.

Could you explain more the advantages of the engi ?
I mean, El can drop water field and Warriors bring lots of CC and blasting…

For me, the good point for engi in this case is that they’re able to create water field and to blast it 3/4 times (or more). So it’s a bit more effective than with Ele : quicker and less blasting miss…

I don’t really know ranger, but I think they don’t have AoE pet skills…. or maybe just one (the skill bound to the pet). So their pets aren’t really effective in big fights. Imo, this profession is the most left aside class in WvW…

But I agree that part of the problem comes from the common ignorance of the mechanisms of those professions. When I ask a raid leader if I can join the group with my engi, he is like “meh…. don’t you have a guardian ?”. So now I don’t ask anymore, and pick him

Krytan Drakehound – 4-5 sec immob, 600 AOE. Adds cripple if traited
Fern Hound – 2000 direct heal + 4000 regen over 14 sec, 600 AOE, adds cripple if traited
Wolf – 1-2 sec fear 600 AOE, adds cripple if traited
Polar Bear – AOE Chill
Brown Bear – AOE Condition Cleanse
Black Bear – AOE Weakness
Murwellow – 240 diameter poison field, 7sec duration
Snow Wolf – AOE Chill
Red Moa – AOE Fury
White Moa – AOE Chill
Jungle Stalker – AOE Might
All birds – AOE Swiftness within attack-chain
All moa’s – AOE healing within melee range (3000 direct heal)

cool. but how do you want to use it in large fights? pets die instantly or just run up and back as you change targets. buffs are slow and short and the pet just stand while cast. condy removes remove roots and aoe destroy them. we cant give real boons to the party and our blast is slow. my warrior with 0 points on strenght trait line has as much dmg as my power ranger has. my warrior bring aoe cc and 3600 armor while ranger 3200 armor and single target dmg

Hehe. Nice commercial now everybody talk about the watching in game gms
Btw the 90 of the cheats happen when you solo roam. Dissapearing downed bodys without any loot or xp, teleporting enemys etc

well rangers r.i.p. for another few months. this changes wont make the rangers good in wvw.

I like to play with 25 other guys. I like to work together. I like kill people.

I dont like there is no charcter collision. Thats why a lot of things not viable in wvw. I dont know wvw why just a second class citizen after esport and/or living story.

I changed servers, now im on Desolation. I always search the good fights. If a shipis is sinking i leave.

I think every rangers would be happy with an immobilize insted of kb

I soo hate this “we cant talk about anything, but you can ask what you want” anet thing

I need /chicken because of the vizuna blobs

There are a lot of random place where things become ubstructed on open field… Annoying

Where do you hear the next: “pls somebody change to ranger”
I think nowhere

Why everybody think the hammer is the main cc weapon of a warrior? Everybody run with stabilitys. Sword burst skill is the main kitten out there. This changes not touch wvw warriors. We hit multiple targets, gain adrenalin from shouts. Full adrenalin befor the skill recharges

The play your gamestyle thing also means let players rush in full zerk. And people always want the fastest things

In wvw if you are a ranger, you are the first target and you dont have the escape ability of a mesmer, ele or a thief. You will die as soon your stone signet is over.
If i random zerging with my ranger there are minimum 3 snipers try to hunt you down like crazy.
If i roam with some of my friends the situation is the same. All of the thieves and mesmers, eles jump in my face.
And if i play with my guild with my gua, we also hunt down rangers first because its an easy kill. But true… Sometimes we kill necros first, because they are dangerous not as a ranger

Guard stacks should be baseline.
I dont realy like this cheaper thing. Now i have more unused points…

The largos thing is a hidden ace in anets pocket. They will show it when they realy need. Maybe in a future expansion. Maybe thoy will come out with them when with tengus. Fire and water…

Take it easy mate. Its just a virtual game. They cant hurt you. You can turn off chat or block persons.

dyeable weapons +1

Rid regular xp from wvw, eotm. Add tomes. —> way less low lvl leveling. Players will come with high levels to earn tomes

I think you could build up participation and earn 1 pip max.

Gw2 is not designed as a game where you heal others. Druid will never be 100% efective. Same as ranger with pet

you are right. invaider, bronz invaider, silver inv, gold inv, assaulter, bronz kitten, silv kitten etc… makes more sens. i think they made this for the common folks. if they see a bronz they know that guy is experienced as a non bronz but less experienced as a silver.

Mobile sieges
Upgrades depend on how many camp you own (example 0 camp connected to your tower: your tower is wood, all the camps fully upgraded things)
We place towers
New trick: black powder keg (can dmg walls)
New rewards at vendors
Remove drop and xp, add lvling tomes and boxes, mat/gear bags to the venders for badges
Repeatable achivements
Nerf sieges to not damage through gates and walls
Let everybody to use a siege or damage it

first i hope they make something like pvp reward track in wvw :P

the problem with the not-account bound wxp its root you to one character. in spvp you can change any time easyli when the meta changes. in pve you can learn every skills within a week or less (20 seconds with scrolls)
what if you bored with your character and want to change, but you dont want to be less useful? :/

To complete a reward track is ~8-10 hours what i think is a little too much. There should be easyer and harder reward tracks. 60 hours of gameplay for a wvw only armor skin is perfect. Maybe with additional tracks we could add a little shiny to it.
Other tracks should be fast. Basic game tracks for example

what i dont understant : why i forced to play with pets? why am i need to switch between 2 pets? why cant switch between a pet and a sniper mode (or something like that)

I think the players should be rewarded, not the servers. If i do more, give more (repeatable achis with token rewards)

Reduced gem cost wont encurage players to play

ranger beast mastery traits

This Vizu guy made my day

befor the dec 10 update anet wrote a post. they know what is the wrong but too much time to fix it. they know about the pets, traits, weapons but they have more important things. nobody works on rangers or will in the close or mid far future.
reroll and enjoy a better profession.

0: BODY BLOCK
1: rethink the whole ranger class
2: remove ascended craft and do it as in gw1
3: sandbox style wvw maps. let us to build towers
4: remove stealth from the game. that mechanism never will be balanced
5: rethink legendary craft system. why i need to do pve farm for 10-20 weeks to play on wvw with my legendary
6: let wvw players to be insta 80, craft armors, spend traits as pvp players

The frost spirit nerf completly killed ranger, the other changes are good, but pls let stow our pets permanently

1st: you will be a walking lootbag at the first time. Dont give up
2nd: decide do you want to win or just press buttons. If you want to win change class, weapons, skills, traits to the meta or pick what your guild needs.
3: search a good team
4: listen your commanders
5: your enemys are living players. win 1 and loose 1 is totaly natural
