Why don’t you all take this ‘discussion’ on warrior to that subforum? It added nothing to the original discussion and if it is as important as all that perhaps it needs its own thread.

We can only hope that focus doesn’t alienate too many players as the focus on that one aspect of the game isn’t really healthy for the game as a whole.

Welcome
On starting profession I would also suggest caution on choosing mesmer as they are very back heavy (much better at cap level, kind of tedious until certain traits are obtained). But all and all find something that you enjoy and have fun with it.

Wasn’t a nerf, more like a fix, because it wasn’t intended to be abused like that.
I doubt it would have been caught nearly so soon if it has seen in uses in those tournaments that Anet finds so important.

No much discussion going on here the entire thread has decayed into a profession-tribal tearfest. Too salty for me

In b4 greatsword warrior becomes the fastest class in PvP.
Didn’t you hear? Warriors are getting a couple minor buffs next patch:
-Warriors can now dual wield great swords, great hammers and great shields
-Vengeance no longer causes the warrior to die—it is now a self res.
-Warriors can now bring 2 heals instead of just 1
-Warriors can now fly
Do they have to flap those jumbo wing greatsword to fly?

PvP Specialist here
Few questions about this:
- How often do you swap from your main class to the class daily to get the AP?
- Do you enjoy the encouragement to try another class?
- If you were to change this daily, what would you want it to be changed to instead?
On question is it just perception or are some profession on the daily more often than others?

Dungeons is major part of the game knowledge.
After they basically got rid of the dungeon design team that could be argued.

There’s a reason they got rid of the balance profession subforum…
At least while it existed there were some attacks on other profession as well. Right now the warriors have martyr complex and the necros are just a few steps from cutting themselves for example, but anymore it isn’t normal not to see attack the Ranger profession.

However, as a shout, it is affected by Trooper Runes, and there is a trait that allows them to grant swiftness and regen to nearby allies but the range is pathetic.
Nature’s Voice wasn’t a part of the original design, it was Anet’s attempt at making shouts of the ranger better as a build option and to keep the trait number the same when they merged a couple of traits in that line.

The flamekiss issue was more of a political issue, not really a game balance thing
flamekiss wasnt really an improvement on any system either
That is still an odd part as originally you could transmute to get other races skins, and if fact there are still a few NPC’s that have cultural gear skins not for their race.
Back on the topic at hand what would the remove of leather from the various bag loot table (and place cloth in some/all of its place) to the leather situation (as now you can just go out) and kill creatures that drop hide on a fairly regular basis to get leather.

Or does it seem that more people tend to post there issues with the Ranger profession in this subforum, very often in the form of attacks with little or no attempt at all in the appearance of constructive discussion?
The only reason I really am bring this up is there is thread in the pvp subforum that the author of stated that he placed it in the wrong place.

I was thinking after reading post that how much of the meta is being played because people enjoy what they are playing and how much of it is about it wins?
As we know even the (supposed) paragon of the mode can and will use exploits that are in in the game for a long as Anet leaves them in. (Prime example lightning whip stow).
So what does the community think about this do you want victory at the cost of preference or is there another way?
Pets have been hidden due to rising Player complaints.
So really this really isn’t about balance at all it is about you wanting an easy way to avoid aspects of the game you do not like.

The revive shout is even worst in sPvP 185s cooldown for a killable reviver. In general I agree with Girion it is simple about choosing the least bad option, and often the trait system feels exactly the same way.
My stance on ranger shouts:
The only reason I think there are even shouts on the ranger was someone was concerned that the Rune of the Solider (now called Trooper) where only effective on two profession and they felt the need to diversify the usefulness the the rune and to provide already designed traits to the profession so skills that make more sense as “Pet Skills” became shouts include what might be the only shout with a cast time.

I have a feeling most of the issues with condition outside of PvP/WvW will be relegate as system limitations and just file away as an unfortunate side effect of building a MMORPG around a 5v5 conquest pvp games’ mechanics.

Basically any solution, that enables the average player to obtain his daily silk demand on his own, without having to buy from the tp, will most certainly crash the silk prices because the silk that people get who dont need it (as a byproduct of playing), wont have a demand anymore.
Thats the status quo of leather right now.Mithril is a different story, because it has a huge additional sink in crafting rare weapons for precursors.
If mithril would drop by only 10 copper, it would result in at least 50g off the final precursor price, so additional supply for mithril is sucked up for that.Silk prices wont have such a safeguard.
Depending on the requirement/limitations for the collection precursor system for HoT that safe guard could became void.

I wish the OP the best of luck as I have the feeling they probably have some sort of “reserve the rights” to basically take anyone name and bam NPC, force a name change. Which is unfortunate.

I agree OP it is worrysome.
If stealth or troll build thieves become too prominent they’ll be no end to the complaint threads on the forum. I just hope it doesn’t cause people to not play Stronghold.
But on the bright side if thieves become annoying in PvP then maybe the Shadow Arts line will get the nerfs that it so richly deserves.
People already complain about stealth so it will be business a usual.

WvW is a bit different as the stats potential is much higher than sPvP was designed for so I doubt it will true be as strong of an issue.

I would hope that it gets a good look with HoT.
If they make water spirit viable they could change spirit of nature into some other sort of unique buff too. No need for two healing spirits…
Oh and it was never nerfed…it was this bad when it was released.
As bad as the water spirit is it needs all the help it can get.

As healing skills go I think Signet of Vampirsm and Water Spirit might need to be looked at as they make litany look tier 1

No, they can leave other projectiles, because they don’t matter. Ranger LB makes WvW extremely frustrating at times and should be adjusted, that’s the main problem.
WvW a mode that is one isn’t improtant to this subforum and two is a mode where the ranger does poorly as a whole. If you got a WvW related issue take it to that subforum.

I can not help but think a pet based taunt will be poorly implemented and the activation time will limit it usefulness in the action based game play they pride themselves one (just like the rest of the pet implementation).

A tournament has to specifically ban the use of more than 1 turret engi in 1 team. Hurry up and nerf this mindless build.
Perhaps this is a prelude to the removal of stacking any profession on a team.

The focus of their issue is the problem here they are fixated on one profession not on the general mechanic.
Does anyone have the exact range distance measured on moving targets on the various elevations? This imprecise around distance make his argument feel more QQ than legitimate concern.

Bran is an avid Ranger, or so his post history would suggest. Not that surprising.
Are you calling me out? And stalking my post as well. You are just a profession focused anyone else on these forum so I wouldn’t be pointing finger there bub.

Is it just me or do the majority of the ‘nerf this’ and ‘that is OP’ thread tend to revolve (are started at the very least) around one if not both of the choice for the PvP daily?

Spirits in general need some sort of rework as a whole they are disjointed and
ill-conceived for any of the mode of play in the game. Also they are one of the best examples of the whack-a-mole design that Anet claimed to not want to do.

That is completely your opinion on the nature of that advantage and due to the grenades Area of Effect nature they also will damage outside of the listed range. As for justification that is not even a remotely good argument if fact it places you and other with your opinion firmly in the drag a single profession down mindset that seems to be the only system of balance that those of that thought process can accept.
However the projectile behavior is really at it most noticeable (for all projectiles) in cases where elevation is different.
All that being said it can’t be that much of an issue as rangers aren’t dominating the tournament scene and most like this has only come up due to the fact that ranger was on the daily in which this thread was started.

The concept was the only good part of the trait change, in practice all they did was make backloaded profession more tedious and set that builds do not happen before level cap.

Really, what’s next illusions, minions, spirit, turrent, and spirit weapons. It is bad enough that the pet is basically a free CoD for thieves and has the highest penalty for poor use. Imagine if a misused steal/burst or completely running out of death shroud (not all the possible example, but I can hope that inferance is not completely lost on this forum community) went on a minute cooldown.

Maybe they need to add a spoon vendor that will turn those useless extra spoons in to something you want from the boss drops.

So fix them all. LB is by far the most game changing.
Then the original poster should fix the title of the thread and reword his request as a plea for them the ‘fix’ the properties of the projectile in the game instead of directing it as a plea for rangers and only ranger to have their projectile behavior adjusted. The general support of the original presentation reeks of drag the profession that is either given them trouble or that they just don’t like.
Pets have been hidden due to rising Player complaints.
You both do realize that every projectile has similar properties and that complain would have to be applied across the board.

It might be better if they put that on staff, so that we have more control over it. Even the F2 skills aren’t always the most reliable; other pet skills are a game of chance.
While being in control is important, I don’t think they want specializations to completely replace the original options on the profession.

You are probably just missing some of the more glaring ones there are quite a few objects in the PvE side of the game that pet will not under any situation attack and I have seen them attack objects (that are for an event) when the event is not up and the object are normally not interactable.
As for ‘doing it right’ you’ve seem to manage to miss those problems well good for you.
Not to mention the number of odd bugs that tend to happen, my prime example was when they first added that spider queen to Kessix Hills after the first time I was webbed my pet dissappeared (as normal), but returned dead and each swapping started dead with full cooldown. Needlessly to say I parked my ranger in the grove and played witha different profession for a while.

- Warrior have a trait like spotter called “empower allies” that grant power to their allies. This trait is in the vitality/boon duration traitline. And they don’t whine about this fact.
If that is the only thing they aren’t whining about I a surprise, It was the end of world for them when it went from Adept tier to master.
As a whole the ranger suffered quite a bit in the trait system with the exception of a few possible outlying traits most are too weak for their ranking and many feel like they were just trying to fill spaces on the trait line after designing so many for other (more polished professions).
All those traits that just add ‘secondary’ stat to the pets that is poorly done at best and a shortsighted mess quite possible due to the fact that the profession was cobbled together out the scraps of the canceled Warden and Archer.

But they fixed Hawk and Eagle icons back then too, we don’t need any more fixes because that was all we ever needed!
Icon fixes, that’s some AA grade improvements there, how was ranger even playable before that.
