honestly, I have no idea
I have 8 characters, only one of them being white. That white one is asuran. Even my sylvari is black.
Respect.
Tengu or death. Largos would be cool, but theres like… 3 in the entire game, and you know nothing about them. Kodan would be cool as well, but I dont think they vary in looks much
Getting a fractal skin now makes me do the mumooshka around my house. Fracs need to be changed, if its not addressed soon people are going to stop doing them. Theres no reason to make more loot from 20 min champ training than the 35-1:45 run it takes to do a high level frac
fair enough
to be continued
This is mainly for Mesmer, but im curious for all classes.
for PVE I roll S/F GS or S/F S/S with bloodlust on sword and battle on GS or off hand S and F.
I was just messing around with numbers and I think the 3-6 stacks of might you keep doesnt add up to the constant fire AOE you would get from just using fire. What do you think?
stupid thread
nice booty though
Ill say Guardian is easier than Warrior unless theyre both full zerk.
Anyway, just because I LIKE the class, and enjoy playing the class doesnt mean I cant speak the truth. Just because I know there are things wrong with it doesnt mean I cant play it. If thats how it is, than literally everyone would just play guardian and warrior, which is the case for the most part anyway. I like the Ranger simply because of lore, I like rogues and archers and rangers etc but the Ranger in this game is very similar to the Warrior, just worse in every way. I mean kitten, dont put in the description of the class how good Rangers are with bows if the Warrior is 10x better with the kittenen Longbow. I dont like comparing everything to Warrior, but its the class Ranger is most similar too. I mean kitten, cant we swap the rangers longbow skills with the Warrior? Or the GS skills? I think we only have them beat on War horn. 1HS is a toss up. And I dont “main” any class anymore, I play them all pretty equal, but Ranger and Mesmer are my favorites
no no, its garbage. I like it, but its not good for PVE. For highest dps, especially in certain fracs, stacking is necessary/pushed and 1hs/wh/axe is not good for stacking at all. Also, Frost Spirit is a terrible version of a warrior banner. The thing can die and you have to trait for it to move with you, while a warriors banner last forever and you can simply carry it along and sit it back down (for a blast finisher, and get swiftness and fury along the way!) without having to trait for it. Yes, we can open world solo better than other classes, but thats nothing to brag about. In dungeons we are the only class not wanted, openly, and occasionally a necro gets the frown also but nowhere near as often. Spotter is great. Ranger damage isnt on par with warrior, we may thing it is because of the numbers, which on paper it does truly look like we are, but a warrior will hit multiple enemies and stack might for the party while a 30% of a rangers dps is coming from a pet that may be dead or only hitting one enemy at a time, which isnt keeping up with other classes at all.
Also, back to frost spirit (which I DO use btw) it is just so inferior in how it works… its ridiculous. It isnt worthless, but whem comparing it to a banner its just a good good laugh
holding the warriors banner.
looking kinda of cool having medium armor and a Greatsword.
Not actually using our Greatsword because its weaker than the Warriors banner.
Making friends with animals because its the only party we’re invited too.
dont agree with everything, but yea, ive been complaining about MH axe forever. ANET doesnt seem to care
I was nodding my head and agreeing with you until I saw PvP/WvW stand point. Rangers are good there, its PVE where they are garbage
Warmaster Chan breaks instantly every time… He worked for about … 3 minutes… on TC, and now broken again. Its been this way for over a year. is this EVER going to get fixed????
Ranger Longbow absolutely sucks compared to Warrior. However, I like Ranger GS more than Warrior GS honestly, Ranger GS damage is just too low. Very weak. Skill wise though, I prefer the Ranger
can we get some buffs and new stuff instead of just constant nerfs???
Thief gets the hardest nerfs, followed by Ranger as hard as that is to believe. Ele got the worst nerf patch in history long ago and never really recovered from it
Need more tools to do more work!
trying to balance this game over and over isnt going to work with the current set up. You need to add more weapons to the classes first, there simply isnt “enough” to balance right now unless you completely change many traits and utilities completely, which doesnt seem to be an option. Like the entire Ranger 1hsword thing… dont change it, its fine for 2/3 of the game and its annoying for PVE. Solution? Give Rangers a friggen mace or mh dagger as a 1h melee weapon. A huge reason why Warriors are so good is because of the amount of options that are in front of them, while other classes are tied to a handful of weapons if that. The Weapons skills are really what half or more of our utilities and skills revolve around. Bah whatever I dont know why im even going on. Time to watch UFC
Happy Superbowl everyone
im somewhat impressed with your performance
Ranger
/thread
edit upon further thinking: if someone else already said this, +1 to them
I like Rangers because of the Lore
Ranger in this game sucks
Scepter in WVW is great. Scepter in PVP can be used. Scepter in PVE… wellllll
and btw for Mesmer id put Pyroathiest above Osicat, but thats me
I lurk from time to time.
I knew he was still around.
is this the complain about warriors month?
wars been too strong for past half year at least~
No it hasnt i dont know what you people are smoking, warrior is too powerful omg plox nerf, how many of you actually spvp and got a higher rank than 20 please, how many of you run anything other than cof path 1? What about melee rangers out there that are spirit spec in pvp and are unkillable.
here is a video for those who say rangers suck in pve
There are zerker minion mancers out there that have 2 fears deathshroud, pets that heal on attack. golem rush with 1 minute cooldown with EVERY BUFF IN THE GAME!
good thief will use blinds and OVERPOWERED STEALTH against any warrior, being able to DISENGAGE AT WILL > EVERY OTHER CLASS IN THE GAME!
D/D ele’s will be even stronger after this coming tuesday.
There is a retaliation guardian build that destroys anyone that touches them while sustaining healing ohh and its a bunker build at the same time btw
Why is are there Q.Q posts about warriors all the time. ARENA NET PLEASE NERF THOSE CLASSES!
This is literally the worst post on the internet
a good engi, because a good engi owns everything
Please do something about the agro Engis get in PVE. I drop one Bomb or even think about throwing a grenade and everything runs past the 100b stack of warriors to kill me. I cant even stand next to the heavies that are slaughtering the masses and killing because I get singled out and attacked while they stand there and wonder why im dying
you know I always thought I was crazy. I stopped using Engi after about 150 hours of use in PVE because I kept getting dropped in dungeons first. Im glad this is a normal issue I thought something was wrong with me
people cry too much
wow real nice
id hit
Ive told many a ranger, if you want to sit at full range ALL the time, atleast roll an ele or mesmer and have some party use
Rename the class druid, turn 1hs into mace and GS into hammer and it would be fine
Please make the greatsword do more damage than a warriors banner. Thanks.
all they need to do is make more enemies have protection, regeneration, retaliation, and explode on death. Range and tanks will become far more common. the hotw1 boss, even though people still dps him down, dies a lot quicker if you have one or two condi people in there. Still ,thats an old example, more common mobs, vets and such, should have boons for protection and all that. Hybrid builds would become better
ty all. I was a D/D bunker forever but it was so long ago.. was still using DaPhoenix cleric trinket/ soldier armor. Jus changed it all up to d/f zerker gear. much more fun
Ele was my main PVE and WVW class forever and slowly ive moved on to other classes. I want to use my ele for dungeons and such again….
I was using staff fire build for awhile, never got into scepter and now im back on DD…
I dunno, whats best for dungeons/fracs these days?
I agree with everything OP said
sword pistol
25/30/0/015
signet of malice
caltrops
-
-
food that regens hp on hit, preferably the candied dragon roll which is cheap
caltrops and pistol whip regens so much hp it makes healing signet look bad.
face tank everything better than your warrior buddy
break out d/d if you feel like bursting a solo target down quicker, but theres no need to because youre hitting for over 3-5k AA and 15k pistol whips which will suffice
looks like every typical mesmer
are those legendary Greatswords????
nothing more to see here folks
If theres no new classes coming I dont see myself playing this much longer. Thats with no disrespect to ANET, its just… that would be so boring
that doesnt mean Zerker Nerf. Honestly, all they need to do is give mobs more buffs like the HOTW p1 boss, as in regen and protection and stuff, so the Condi classes become much more useful.
The only thing I can really agree with you on ith removing the puzzle before entering the game. That entire part is worthless and is just annoying.
The rest I do understand what youre complaining about, because ive felt that same way, but honestly if you could just run in the cage and do it instead of the entire puzzle before it none of the rest would feel that bad. And this is oen of the few things in the game hard for the “Zerker” Meta so I wont really sit and complain about it, we kinda deserve it.
The clown far usually gives me 50+ bags so im not complaining about that at all
I like you because of your name. Arc the Lad for life
I run 36 and 49 daily and ive gotten 2 chests… in over a month… and they were both cavalier stats, which arent bad.
1 fractal weapon
30 rings.
They need to drop the rings from higher levels. Ive never seen an earring drop, and an ascended armor box drop once
I run 29, 36 and 49 everyday and I get one infused ring or nothing, every time. Prior to reset I never got a fractal skin, and now ive gotten 1 and it was about a month ago. Do earrings even drop in daily? can we do something about this? take rings out of the higher levels and keep them lower? its bad enough sometimes the frac will takt 1:30 – 2 horus and you only get a 1+g…
ugh nvm im complaing for no reason sorry. carry on
1HS AA is kittened due to the games mechanics, but you CAN learn how to use it and be effective. Its dumb and annoying, but if youre willing to learn it pays off. I took the time to learn it and it became 10x better, but once you play another toon and then go back to ranger is feels frustraiting. If you main Ranger and use it often it will be no problem, sadly I play all 8 of my classes pretty evenly
10/30/0/30/0 is what I run because I like healing when I charge mantras, but 20/10 is more damage for sure
