I personally think they need to increase the range and fix the issues with crossing gaps. Wasn’t it much longer range in beta at one point?

I think this is just your imagination.

Nope. As someone who worked for these pets in a game I didn’t even like, they better remain unique to the way I earned them. They don’t have any unique abilities, they are basically just a skin.

Melee Ranger?

I played melee ranger a good bit in PvP but never in PvE. My build for PvP was Sword/Dagger and Axe/Torch, with heavy emphasis on condition damage. It was pretty powerful but I didn’t really feel like a Ranger with the playstyle of the spec.

Here is my build, which was amazing in 1v1 vs pretty much everything except for a good Guardian. Completely shut Thieves and Warriors down.

Consider that spec a first draft, I tweaked it a bit from there.

Happy? HS nerfed

The problem with thief was large damage output by spamming a button. This directly addresses that. Now thieves will need to play as intended, utilizing stealth transitions, rear attacks, and timing large blows before enemies can use heals.

Skilled thieves shouldn’t feel affected by this.

I agree. I also don’t think this nerf had anything to do with any community outcry, considering Heartseeker was buffed not long before release.

Get Rid of "Downed" all together in PvP

I hated it first but I actually love it now. It makes a better team even more likely to win. In other MMOs you could win with fights with lucky swaps and bursting someone down. You can’t do that in GW2.

It really doesn’t. It’s just a stability/fear war.

Server alliances ruins WvW

Its fine.
Im from Hedge, we havent lost a SINGLE wvwvw yet.
#2-4 keeps changing between 3 servers, so we fight the same 3 over and over.
They have an alliance against us, and we still win every day.

Maybe u guys need to organize better.

Yeah, all those Oceanic players capping for you guys at 2-6 AM EST is great, right?

Greatsword feels mandatory for questing

All those posts about this weapon being ‘support’ and that being for ‘tanking’ or whatever – forget about them. You’ll only need greatsword/sword+focus combo. And you will use sword/focus only to survive/run away. Greatsword has highest damage, huge AoE from auto-attack, AoE pull, AoE symbol and AoE blind.

It goes like this: run in the middle of 3-5 mobs, Pull them, Purging flames, leap, symbol, Virtue of Justice, whirl, 3 auto-attack hits, collect phat lootz, pull next mob pack.

Saying to forget about everything but GS really just isn’t playing the class to the best of it’s ability in my opinion. Personally I run GS but I also use Sword/Torch and Sword/Focus (when I want the extra blind and survivability instead of DPS) and constantly switch up in battle. I couldn’t imagine playing the class only using GS. If I wanted to use one weapon only, I would still be playing my Ranger. lol

I have had a ticket in for the same thing since 9/26 or 9/27. Only response I ever got was the, “hey, we got your ticket” thing. I also asked them if there was any way I could be refunded some gems because the character (and bag space that was purchased) was deleted.
