Guild Wars 2

It doesn’t need an overhaul?
People complain about not having big numbers?

Ahahahahahaha.

Do you even play a ranger or do you even read threads?
Stop spouting kitten.

It’s the horrible trait setup and no-utility that Rangers hate. You give NO CREDIT at all to ANYONE in the game, be it wvw, dungeons, pve, whatever there is.

Pets are a freaking joke, never hitting any moving target. Their pathfinding is worse than a 3 year olds.

Man just read threads, seriously. Im not going to list every disadvantage rangers have.

Edit: I nearly forgot op. Yes, all hope is lost. The people responsible for nerfing and buffing say ranger is fine and fixing pathfinding is something they can’t accomplish because of the engine it seems. So it will stay bad, forever.

That’s a difficult question.
First you ask for what class to roll, then you sort all good ones out by saying you don’t want to faceroll.
By that, you filtered thief, warrior and guardian. Engie and rangers are of the book because they are not fun anymore due to overnerf.

This leaves mesmer, necro and ele. Necro is kitten too.

So it’s mesmer and ele. Take one of those if you want more buttons for less effectiveness.

Vorch.2985:

There are very few people who like to adapt. It’s a problem.

Throwing out posts like this you must be a pretty tough guy.

Let me tell you something tough guy.

If someone breaks their manifesto and adds grind, it makes adapting to new things kinda grindy and costy, you know?

Do you understand that?

Now let’s take it even further.
How many people are there, you think, that like to spend a fortune of either gold or grind to get new builds?
I don’t know.

Ask the thousands of thousands of people who already quit because of this bullkitten.

Stealth still does not equal invulnerability, and thieves cannot gain much more than 20k HP, and a laughable armor – meaning they also sacrifice pretty much all their damage.

Simply put: If stealth is what’s bothering you the most about thieves, find another game. Refusing to adapt is not the game’s fault. Refusing to think is not the game’s fault either.

Typical thief player.
Tell’s everyone they’re wrong and even better, tells them to play another game.

I hope you realize that everyone is already doing that right? Why do you think the game is getting emptier and emptier every month?

“If this game is horribly unbalanced, play another game”. I hate people like you, seriously.

…

Give me a tl;dr of it and i will read through that wall of rage.

You’re right, it’s your culprit if something is coded badly.

Because the last time they nerfed my class, it got destroyed beyond repair.
Yes, it’s obviously Ranger.

Well now that people mention it on the forums it will get fixed.

It’s also getting misused though. When i down people in WvW and laugh at them, they often try to invite me for flaming.

Because they can’t balance this game for kitten.
Warrior and Thief both have better ranged combat, 2 total melee classes.

Many, hundreds, of people already pointed that out before you.
Just saying. It’s nothing new. Everybody knows how kitten the Ranger is.

I think the last patches have done a lot for Rangers. The GS block in motion is great, the 25% speed boost with signet of the hunt is great (10% was just silly), the quicker res time on Lick Wounds is fantastic (if only it worked on uneven terrain and didn’t start on cooldown), definitely steps forward in the right direction. Regarding projectile speed and pet damage in PvP, I haven’t noticed for myself whether Anet’s changes have really made a difference as I haven’t been doing much PvP lately. Anyone else care to comment? It seems the devs are at least attempting to address our biggest issues, which is already a huge leap forward in my book.

The gs thing sounds better than it is. It’s still a cheap copy of the warrior one, which is far superior. For using the cc effect of it, you have to channel, meaning everyone simply outruns the sword you throw after them. The damage and attack rate is still too low to be a weapon worth mentioning.

The 25% speed signet was just something they held off for months. It shouldve been like this from the start so it’s not even a buff.

The res time is also something that’s only better in theory. The skill itself is still bugged like hell and wont work like 50% of the time. In WvW the cooldown and the rate is still way too long/slow. Everyone, even bunker builds, will kill you before you have it ready, not to mention just finishing off. Only usable in PvE where Ranger has no place anyway.

Projectile speed didn’t change anything, it’s still so slow that everyone can just tip a or d to avoid it. The obstructed thing got a bit reduced though, but not really that much.

For pet damage, just go to the Mists and attack the running golem. It’s still as horrid as it was before because the pet runs in circles instead of straight to the enemy and the attack animation is so slow the golem simply runs out of range most of the time.

And imo, they don’t adress the biggest issues. Because water combat surely isn’t one of our biggest flaws, it’s everything else.

That’s why i will never have any respect for a thief player in spvp or wvw.
I don’t care about Mesmers portal or eles bunker but 24/7 stealth, 10k+ hits and the option to ALWAYS be able to run out from a fight is just too easy.

Everytime i see one i imagine a 13 y/o boy playing him, feeling 1337 like kitten.

Make them obtainable through badges.
I have like 2k because you can’t spend them on anything.
You get pvt gear easily and way faster outside and for siege you just do the jp once and you’re set.

They’re kitten worthless and i really have no nerves to grind daily after daily just to hope lady RNG will love me some day.
Go to hell with this RNG kitten.

Ranger is underplayed because they don’t care.
They don’t care because Ranger is underplayed.

That’s why Warriors, Guardians, Mesmers and whatnot get the most attention. Because it’s the classes that matter the most in either PvE or PvP.

Not same here.
I play more eb jp than probably any of you and i always use swapping for finishing off.
1 out of 10 times it doesn’t work, yes, i look at the icons, and no, theres no buff.

It’s kinda annoying because you notice very fast after playing Ranger for a while.

Yeah, right, you know, before when people already hit 60k on this thread, what did they give us?
Underwater combat! HOORAY. Something that was NEVER mentioned ONCE.

It doesn’t matter how many views this thread has. They will probably do something totally unrelevant again or nothing at all.

Even if you gave it a range of 2000 on every skill, 90% would still miss as all you have to do to evade is press a or d a bit or blink or rush or stealth or mistform or everything every class can do.
Make it homing or something.

I think longbow should work the other way round, have a longer range but do less damage the further away you are, or more damage the closer you are

Yes, excellent idea. Force the ranger into melee with his longbow, which has a 9000 sec cooldown on auto attack.
Hey, another idea, let’s completely destroy the rangers ranged combat! Oh wait, Anet already did that! HAHA.

1h Sword

lol. Nothing more to add.

Give the longbow a range of 1500 untraited, with traits, shortbow and longbow increase by 300. Pump up velocity and put piercing by default on a tier 2 trait, just like the o loved godtier class warrior.
Oh, and increase it’s overall utility by 300%, you know, stuff like bugged pets, spirits, downed skills not working etc.

May be then people will play Ranger again.

What, you don’t know?
Thieves got a stealth buff. When they’re downed, they can use teleport-to-a-waypoint as one of the skills.
It’s because they don’t have enough escape.

They should fix the Ranger by default.

^
This would get fixed though.
Around… 2-3 months after it gets mentioned the first time.

Oh boy, i wonder why deso always ranks last in every rotation.

Makes me wonder why they’re still on #6 and not way lower.

I think he was beeing sarcastic, or something, or else i’d feel sorry for him, defending this kitten.

Just let it cancel everything and attack without delay. Is it that hard? Nobody needs hour long animations that are just a nerf/headache for this already bad class.

Also, another bug, if you swap to a lynx or any other pet with a dash and you use F2 too fast, it jumps into the direction it looked at when swapping instead to the target.

Let me tell you something.

Unlike the people that say that Ranger is fine, i have one at level 80.

There are roles in PvP and PvE:

PvP:
Killing things, Supporting things, holding things

PvE:
Killing Things, Supporting things

Now, the problem is, Ranger isn’t good in anything at that. It has neither utlity, nor damage, nor anything.
Your pet is clonky as kitten. Go to the mists and let it attack the running golem, it will take hours. This will give you an idea about what’s wrong with ranger. Now for the other idea, attack a heavy golem on full glass cannon.
Then, another thing, try to come up with a support build.

You will realize why this class is worse than anything, in any game, ever.
It’s so laughable, even quaggan babys pick fights with you.

But the best thing is, they don’t even buff it. They nerfed it to the ground in the first BWE and left it at that, all it got was more nerfs, like the “0.04s-delay-fix” on shortbow, which was in fact a 30% attack rate nerf.

Oh and another thing where you see that Ranger is in fact the worst class by a huge margin. People flip their kitten when you say that a ranger is in 64 fractals. Now if you said it’s Warrior or Guardian, or anything else, who do you think would care?

So uh, if i want the quiver just for the look, i can use a trans stone on it and my current backpiece, right?

Can i buy everything i need for it or do i have to jump into the gear treadmill dungeon?

It’s funny how people that have no clue about Ranger like lily still think shortbow is stronger than everything.

Longbow does way more damage in WvW and PvE, it’s raw power with aoe. You can trait it to have 1500 range.
Shortbow got a huge speed nerf some time ago and its damage is laughable. The only thing you use it for is condition builds, which only work in sPvP.

I don’t know what you mean with pvp, but i can assure you that nobody runs longbow in spvp because thats dumb.

It’s just situational. Pve + WvW, longbow. sPvP + tPvP, shortbow. It’s as easy as that but it takes the people 4-5 months to still not realize that.

They have 290 servers?
Last time i checked the server selection of US and EU, i’d say 40-50?

It’s a limitation so things are not easy.

For example, take big world dragons, they have 25 stacks 24/7, without the limitation, probably up to 100, meaning he would go down way faster.

They don’t want us to do events fast, because fun obviously lies in the time you have to spend to kill something.

Who cares about spec balance?

Yearly: Still play the game.

Yes, it’s kitten hard and about 50% will not achieve it.
Future update will make sure of that.

Please delete this thread.
If people find out about it and complain about bunker ranger, they will nerf it to the ground again, or yet, through the ground.

Me: bunker ranger
Most feared: 2+ people with high damage
Least feared: everything else

What’s this trap ranger thing i hear about? Does ranger actually have more than 1 build that works? NERF!

I never had such issues with my Ranger.
It’s probably your internet connection or your computer can’t render the hit.
  
 
 
 
 
 

Nah, just kidding. It’s anets incompetence.

When in doubt, it’s a bug.

I don’t eat kittens though.

My traits are 20/25/0/0/25 for maximum Damage.
My armor is imbued with Damage runes, my weapon too.

Added a screenshot of my combat log.

It’s a feature.
Sometimes, arrows can miss, like in real life.
If you miss or it says “obstructed” it’s your fault for not playing the game properly.

So i took this screenshot of the 100 Blades skill and i noticed the lack of this so called overpowered damage the Warrior does.

Notice how weak it is, why do people complain again?

I think Warrior should get buffed in regards to damage output. Rangers are absolutely destroying this class in terms of damage, with their overpowered quickness and the pet.

Toons?
Looney Toons?
Warum bringen die immer Warner Brothers ins Spiel?

But i don’t see how a ranger is more dangerous than a moa.
A ranger has no mobility, no damage, no utility and after the recent buff of moa, i wondered.
Ranger with a shortbow also has a low attack and no armor whatsoever anyway.

If you use “Moa Morph” on a Ranger, does he not become stronger actually?

Great, i wanted the princess one and tried it like 20 tries, nothing, nada. wasted like 3-4G for this bullkitten.

Also i don’t understand how some numbers in those threads can come up. Some need 50+ for 1, others less than 15 for ALL.

Is this RNG kitten account based? Something like, RNG rolls over your character at start and gives you a luck percentage of 1-100%?

Edit: Finally got it, on around the 30 try, stopped counting the exact number because it’s way too depressing.

So better be prepared to loose a lot of gold to the mystic toilet.

Tarnished Coast is the furry server, so if you like that, join it, if you can.

That never, ever, happened to me before.
When i mine stuff in orr i always have like 5 zombies on my kitten

So i came across the oppurtunity of getting to know your character a bit better.

Now take a close look at the attached screenshot of mai waifu for a second.

Do you see something wrong with it?
HELL YES you do!

Where the diggidy dong a long are the nipples? You know, those things god(?) gave us, which are part of human anatomy.

This is outrageous and should be adressed fast, as it is a big bug in my eyes. Or at least, include the proper appearance fix in the next update. It feels very unnatural to look at such a body.

Thanks for listening.

No it’s not viable.
Neither in dungeons, PvE or PvP.
It can’t do anything. If someone is finishing off a mate before you theres nothing you can do except that one longbow push back.
Other classes either cc the kitten out of that person or kill him in mere seconds.
Even the best builds available figured out by minmaxers are dogkitten.

They should just revamp the whole class. remove 90% of the skills (eg all useless ones) and make them good, also put them into the right subtree so you don’t have to spec over africa to get a small active buff other classes have built in in their lvl 5 passive.

yes, you sure will enjoy your 400 damage autoattacks with a power bunker build, those clerics will also surely make you a good bunker.
let me guess, the new whatever gear treadmill stuff costs 250 ectos?

may be you should stop beeing delusional?

Wow that pain inverter thing sounds kitten strong.
Why do other races only have bad racial skills?

Is there a guide available for wvw condition builds?

Isn’t shatter and condition build nearly the same?
Every shatter builds conditions, bleeds, confusion and all that stuff.
So you can’t make anything wrong with the nightmare runes from TA and a cond/tough set right?
