Don’t, ever, get DPS stuff like rampagers. You have no damage to begin with so it wont boost anything. It’ll make sure that you die after a single backstab wombo combo.
Going glass cannon is ok for warrior or thief because of 20k base hp and perma stealth but not ranger.
Yes, they have 2-3 good defensive traits, but that’s all there is so you either go bunker or play another class.
Get a warrior or guardian.
Warrior has less utility, more damage, counterwise for guardian.
Sounds good for those useless killstreak boosters.
Doesn’t relogging work anymore on DR?
Don’t forget people.
It’s 2 guys working on class balance.
2 guys.
This means, … wait, i have to calculate… it would need approx 1,79 years for Anet to fix the Ranger Pet.
Gotta wait a year or more for that.
Remember, it’s only 2 people working on balancing.
You heard right.
They ARE the worst class in this game and well, there’s nothing more to add.
However, with a Warrior, you’ll be the king of partymembers. Meaning everyone wants you, wether on gw2lfg.com or ingame.
Get a warrior if you wanna enjoy actual content, that is, everything not pvp.
In pvp, you only have 2 builds, most of your traits are bugged and most of your skills are kitten.
If you enjoy Pvp more, get a thief or mesmer. No use beeing a Ranger at all, same goes for Engie and Necro.
Thief should just get destroyed like Ranger.
Maybe then thieves would shut up already.
Freaking 99% stealth uptime with highest mobility, 100% bullet proof escape and 10k crits.
Good balance there Anet.
I’d level up a thief too if i had the time just to be able to eat my pizza while playing, having my left hand on 1 and 2.
A crucial Ranger skill not working?
That’s rare.
Fixing it would make Ranger too strong.
The builds really not all that, i have no idea why you’d be running 2 signets though if you’re going for a condi damage build, why not drop one of them and pick up either spike trap or even better for your build, sharpening stones? I really don’t see what you’re trying to accomplish by taking the wilderness survival reduction trait, and then only taking one of those skills…
Sharpening Stone is as bad as the other 90% of the skills Ranger has.
He talks about a broken mechanic that kills 1 build and a whole class and in the same sentence he mentions dual greatsword wielding Warriors?
What the hell?
So apparently Ranger’s don’t get fixed because it would be overpowered then or what?
Longbow is only for PvE.
Period.
Except if you’re talking about WvW but that’s not even real pvp, just smash buttons and look at numbers from far away.
Haha.
Theres like 10 People or more in that video and only 1 is having fun.
Quality Anet… Quality!
You should look at other game developers how they handle stealth.
It’s funny how everyone not playing thief (obviously) agrees that Anet handles stealth the worst possible way someone can implement this mechanic into a game.
It’s so kitten bad they should just remove it completely already. Give thief another faceroll combo but at least make it so others can see them.
Here’s a funny video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ei-d3-x-JRk&feature=player_embedded
Now count the people who are having fun. Then, after you counted, tell me why they aren’t having fun.
Did they also have this bullkitten in GW1? Wouldn’t surprise me if not because i never heard bad things about it while everyone on the internet is already kittenting on GW2.
Maybe in tier 3 or below you can pull that off.
Usually there’s always some people who come visit.
I doubt anyone will have problems killing you with such a weird build.
Anet wouldn’t dare to ask about Ranger gameplay in a hundred kittening years.
It would be death threats all over again, like with the aqua patch. It was still hilarious though.
What if they stay as a level 80 Legendary and if the expansion bumps the max level to say 85 and New Level 85 Legendaries are released?
Good luck keeping the players that wasted hundreds of hours and in some cases hundreds of gold to obtain the 80 legendaries.
As if they care. 10000’s of people left when they added the horrendous gear treadmill patch and they didn’t gain any newcomers with the lagfest called karka event either. My contact list shrunk to 1/4th and my guild from 24 active at a time to 4-7 active at a time.
Why would they anyway? It’s not subscription based.
You mean the fact that it never works?
It’s not op, but imbalanced.
Can someone explain what this rank is?
Anet also said they wouldn’t add gear treadmill.
I only do WvW jp since probably over 1 month now.
There’s nothing else to do that gives me fun.
now tell us how you really feel!
I feel like my class is kitten.
And no, it doesn’t have anything to do with the fact that you can run 1 out of 2 viable builds in wvw that lets you kill other classes.
About the pet names, they said it takes up too much memory on their servers. They did that change some months ago.
A QQ’er who can’t play Ranger…
Hmm you’re not online now, but whisper me when you get online so we can join an empty sPvp server.
Maybe that clears how much i know about my class and how much you know about your class.
I play spvp and wvw only and i rarely see it.
But that’s probably also because nobody plays ranger.
A thief complaining about something that isn’t fair in pvp?
Heh.
The irony.
You know what’s more difficult to hit than a small player model? Something that’s in stealth 90% of the time.
i played some tournaments (paid + free) with 3 guildmates some days ago against people always level 20 and 30+ while we were all below 20. I was level 10 for example and the others never do spvp without guildies, which means usually never.
We won all 4 tournaments we had.
So yeah, rank doesn’t mean kitten.
Do it again against moving targets and see those numbers shrink to 10%.
Get a Warrior or Guardian for Dungeons.
How often do people have to say it?
Hey Jon, you guys always say you observe the forums.
This is easily one of the biggest threads in this forum, why is nobody answering?
I love how people defend a godawful mechanic.
A mechanic that roots you in place in a game where mobility is everything.
The only reason you don’t complain is because you already know it’s never going to get fixed, so you close your eyes and pretend it’s not bugged.
This is a ranger only problem because 90% of the traits and skills make no sense or are completely useless. I’m sorry you leveled one to 80.
Either way, search for trap or regen Ranger. These are the only 2 viable Ranger builds.
Don’t add godawful music. It’s always the same with footages. 90% of the people who view it, like me, wont like it.
The quality is pretty bad, even at 720p.
I didn’t check the ending but at least at the start there’s nothing about what you traited and whatnot. If someone thinks your build is strong they have no idea what it is. Some people, especially Rangers, try to search for ways to make their class average, since it’s pretty kitten bad without going one of the 2 builds, so they’re more interested in the methods you use and not a fragvideo.
Also, people like commentary. I’d rather watch a commentary video with someone speaking than a music video. But that might be a bit too personal though.
It’s an interesting video because it show’s a weapon nobody uses, the sword.
The only useful place for it is WvW.
You can send it down hills or up, but i’m pretty sure they will “fix” it, since it means fun and a ranger skill not beeing useless.
If it has something to do with ranger, fixing becomes 500% more difficult.
Because that would be fun.
We don’t like fun around here.
This was always possible.
Don’t you only need 2 people clicking yes in a 5 man group or something?
Well not that i care though, i don’t treadmill.
You can get a quiver but only through the treadmill dungeon with over 5000 ectos involved.
Like, seriously, 25% to spirits, so they have 125HP now instead of 100?
And that beneath a new Skill for ele, a freaking leap.
But of course changing some of our traits so they’re not totally useless even though it would just take tweaking some numbers is asked too much.
Just make them kittening invicinible already when traited and follow by default and maybe you’d actually see some rangers outside of bot areas again.
Do we seriously have to wait for months for SOMETHING to happen? By that time nobody will be left to play the game anyway.
I love outrages like this.
Thank god i only do some eb jp trolling.
If it’s praise, it’s trolling.
Oh someone hails a ranger pet.
Now try it on moving targets and hail again.
So it’s another stealth nerf for ranger?
I already tested it and it’s not that big of a change since entangle is still one of the easiest to dodge skills.
In WvW people are already not kitten enough to dodge it but in spvp people will laugh about you. Stunbreakers are a must-have there, if you even land it after the 60 second animation it needs.
The rest is nothing.
We cry for trait overhauls for months already.
You don’t do dungeons with ranger.
Get a warrior or guardian.
Ranger pets are as useful as the mini pets.
They both never attack.
If they’d just nerf thief already…
This whole stealth mechanic is bullkitten.
