Guild Wars 2

As others have mentioned you should just walk away. It’s pointless to fight PU mesmer due to flawed stealth mechanics and they can hardly kill you if you keep running. PU mesmers are good for trolling noobs nothing else.

They are still here because of healing signet. Without it warriors are just a freekill.

I think you are playing wrong game-mode if you care so much about rewards.

I don’t really focus on them. I choose the traits with bleed proc because there arent really better traits available and bonus damage is always welcome.

Hey
I had succes with LB/s+t in solo queue. Was ranked 20-something before the patch and leaderboards reset, havent played much since the patch. Here is the build im using:
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fMAQNAT8fjAVV2RWCWs2Bg1DBDsv2jM5ETWBDvYlSkA-TsAg0CnIQShkDJDSSksINsY1xGEA
I mainly roam between points, keeping distance in fights, no stomping.

now be so kind and delete this post

Another useless patch for rangers. Nerf to passive endurance regen, which is rangers defensive mechanic, nerf to path of scars, nerf to spirits, as mentioned you have to go 30 in Wilderness to not die in 5 seconds in pvp. Trait lines are still absolute mess. And new heal as all other rangers things you have to go deep in trait line to make it viable.

Add fun game modes. Only masochists like to watch boring conquest that GW2 has.

Hey

First of all, you didn’t say what role you play in WvW. Secondly, don’t ever use 2 bows. Then i would recommend take Traveler’s runes, don’t use Heal as One choose either healing spring or troll unguent(more likely Troll unguent with your build), change signet of stone for Signet of Renewal for condition cleanse.

20 points in Nature magic is a waste with your build. Swap it either for 20 in skirmishing or 10 in skirmishing and 10 in Wilderness Surv. Beastmaster’s bond is useless, change it for Spotter or Eagle eye if you choose LB.

You didn’t choose second pet. I would go for wolf for CC or devourer if you need to be at range.

Just play a lot and you should get back to your previous status with more capable players. Playing zerker build is better than bunker at low ranks. And if you get more than 1 thief(even that is a lot) try to ask them to use other char.

I can’t speak for 30+ fractals but in 1-29 if your bear dies and mine doesn’t(0 in BM tree) during 2nd phase you are doing something wrong. This fight is supposed for tankier pets if you can’t position well enough for them to evade most of cannon attacks so why don’t you take one?

yep tell me about it, lost first 3 games. Now im being put in and against teams with ranks <10, who don’t communicate. So far win about 9 games lost 2 went from 7% to 44%….. Seems like a very long walk before i get to normal people.

Laserbolt.6731:

People who say this game has a low skill level are demonstrating the Dunning-Kruger effect, in my opinion. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning%E2%80%93Kruger_effect)

It’s not low nor high. What people probably meant and what i think is that it has low skill level compared to WOW during BC and WOTLK.

Don’t know what level fractals are you talking about but if you specifically take bear/arctodus for this fight not only they will survive but they are also able to tank Mai instead of your teammates(for level 1-29, havent tried further)

yep, the reset is pita for many good players. If you lose first game or even 2 or 3 you are gonna have a bad time. It’s impossible to carry team in <90%. Doesn’t matter if you can 1v3 enemy team if your teammates keep dieing to them 1v1…

Merlin is right, there is not much difference, but people have already got used to mesmers, anyhow flawed mechanics this class has.

Looks like some dummies didn’t get Lasebolt’s point.

Can you kill people with that though? Can you kill a guardian?

Bunker or zerk I sure can.

I would like to see how you kill a competent bunker guardian with this build.

Warrior is one of fundamental classes for every RPG along with mage. In most games warriors are chosen by significant margin of players, thus developers make them the easiest class to play to avoid a lot of QQ.

If you want to go BM take apothecary gear, possibly cleric’s will work to lesser extent with food and 25 stacks of condition boost.

Berserker build(30/10/30/0/0) is more fun but requires more skill to play in small groups. Its survivability is very good if you know what are you doing.

@hokage
What part of he was doing this all the way from Longview on 4 seconds CD did you not understand?

One question. How could you chase him from Longview all the way down to bay when he’s using a teleport hack?
Do you using a teleport hack also?

RaO+sword leaps+lightning reflexes

@hokage
What part of he was doing this all the way from Longview on 4 seconds CD did you not understand?

Not bad since you are new to ranger roaming. However, I noticed you waste LR pretty often. This and running axe in both hands is gonna give you a hard time against semi-decent players/Spvpers in WvW. Also sharing your build might get you some helpful opinions, if it’s not secret.

@bartelbie, sanfirina
Maybe you guys need closer look on guardians skills. There isn’t any skill that allows him to teleport AWAY from target on 4 seconds CD.

@Bakterius
I have 30Mbit/s line with less than 5ms ping and he was doing this all the way from Longview. As you can see he is moving fluently, no laggy moving, not to mention that several times i managed to get to melee range with swiftness on, but he still managed to build gap between us.

seems like guardians got new skills overnight – teleporting

I knew that IF are bunch of scrubs skill-wise, but hacking?

Stealth capping, yeah lol seems fun. Why not even let rangers pet cap and decap……

Go go Fissure!
Keep thread clean of insults.

LB with offensive build is viable now both in PVP and WvW.

I had quite a large wall of text written out just to prove you’re wrong… Then i watched your silly LB vid on skyhammer & realized i’m talking to someone who probably doesn’t know the meaning of the term “viable”. Whatever a ranger can do, another class can do it 10x better.

What I meant by viable is that you can get to top 100 solo queue with it. The build in my video just shows another option for LB.

LB with offensive build is viable now both in PVP and WvW.

People wanting rewards are probably playing wrong game mode. Pvp should be played to kill other people and have fun.

Obsidian.1328:

Welcome to Ranger traitlines.

Not everyone enjoys standing on the point doing nothing whole game. If conquest mode in its current state wouldn’t be so boring more people would play to win.

No real significant change to traits. More nerfs than buffs and people are still cheering? Hope some more changes come.

ronpierce.2760:

I just wanted to ask; why can’t conquest be like (drop the biases at the door please) WoW’s Arathi basin or something? Basically where you have to cast to capture a node rather than standing in a point (Minus the interrupt by pure damage). The reason I say this is:

- Its boring right now, you can’t play the field standing in a circle.
- Doing nothing but surviving to win is boring, you don’t even have to target the enemy as long as you stay alive and in a circle…
- Aoe would be still useful but not as annoying/effective for wiping people out.- Well timed interrupts would be more meaningful.

Honestly what I think would be more fun is an object capture like this:
- 5 second cast to capture.
- 20 seconds of being neutral (for back-caps) before you officially claim it, once you “capture” it. DEMOTES ZERGING.
- Thieves would be pretty funny in this gameplay, literally stealing captures. (Not sure how this would work out, but it does make more sense and sounds super fun. I don’t even play thief…)
- Would promote watching combat, not just surviving.
- Stability captures would be fun/clutch play but risky.
- More Risk/Reward play overall.

And its easier to set up now that glory is streamlined… I’m just saying, I think this would be a LOT more fun than standing in circles for the rest of our gaming career…

Anet won’t change any of their flawed mechanics because they are too proud and they like to make new game mechanics without thorough testing. They could at least allow 3 people of team A capture point while there is just 1 member of team B.

Unfortunately balance team in this game is pretty inexprienced, which results in things like warrior atm, snare stacking, fear spam etc. And with pvp updates being very rare your best bet is to roll warrior in the meanwhile.

There are utilities in other offhands, torch is fine as it is. It’s the only offhand with high damage and one of few sources the rangers has to overpowered fire condition damage. Please stop suggesting dumb ideas, some devs might be watching and nerf the torch with one of your ideas.

Uh…. burning is hardly OP, you wanna know OP? That’s 25 stacks of bleeding…

Well, maybe you misunderstood me, fire is op in pvp, maybe not in pve (dungeons, WvW), compared to all other conditions. If it wasn’t it wouldnt be so rare among some classes.

No single profession (not even 2) is gonna apply 25 stacks of bleeding on you if you have half of brain.

You must not PvP very much, sword/sword warriors do that all the time… And you know they kinda immob you during most the application… So yeah…

And I don’t PvE like at all, burning isn’t OP at all, not to mention everyone other than thieves can apply burning, most of them with relative ease, guardians, eles,longbow warriors, and flamethrower engis can keep it up 100%, rangers can have really good uptime with it, and then mesmers, other engi builds, and necros have good uptime on it, so idk what you’re talking about with it being “rare” the only 2 profs it’s “rare” for are necro (who have access to literally every condi but burning in AoE format and.can stack tons of bleeds as well as an ungodly amount of cover conditions) and mesmers, who can’t stack any condi in long duration but have access to every condi but fear, not to mention they can also stack a lot of bleeds with the right build, and usually can spike a ton of confusion so burning isn’t really needed.

Bro you even PvP?

you must be doing something wrong if warrior is able to apply 25 stacks of bleeding on you

Happens sometimes. What’s more discouraging is the fact that even though you are not in top 1000 you get matched with people in top 50.

If you roll a bunker guardian you will fit in every meta. They are OP for holding point for very long now and no nerfs seem to be coming. If you don’t like guardian take a mace/hammer, hammer/lb warrior with healing signet and you’ll have easy time palying

@OP
Destroying viable builds for any class isn’t way to go.

Why don’t you dummies blame developers instead of players when talking about rangers ‘using just 1 skill’? It’s not like they have a choice if they want to play a ranger with a bow. No offense but every class in this game is boring to watch unless you want to learn something new.

Ashanor.5319:

I don’t know. I wonder when bads will stop trolling forums. Solo queue is disorganized trash and matchmaking is incredibly broken btw.

Same as team queue since there are not enough people playing.

If they split pvp more, then you would have 15+ minutes queues. Even now it sometimes takes up to 10 minutes, which is too long for a lot of players and they rather play hotjoin where there is no waiting. Long queues would result in more 4v5 scenarios which would end up in people abandoning tournaments/pvp anyway.

Warriors are over the top in PVE for a year now and yet no nerf came. I’m afraid it will be the same with PVP.

Welcome to Hacktide, server with highest hacker population.

There is no point of resetting them before they get fixed.

Now we just have to pray Anet decides to hire lordhelmos for part-time job as ranger balancer.

instead of balancing and improving trait lines they add useless mechanics that arent even worth taking…

You can’t talk about dirty fighting in game like this. This game isn’t balanced for 1v1 so certain classes will have advantage over others, in other words one of them is using ‘dirty fighting’. With this thinking the only honorable fights would be if both players used same class, build, weapons, everything. You should just play for fun and if you can’t do so in normal servers join some dueling ones.

Oh boy, just remove the map from Solo queue if tpvp dummies cant position themselves and problem will be solved. No need to change the map itself.

BM builds work just fine against any stun warrior, weaker players die and better ones manage to run away.
