Guild Wars 2

Dolyak, Griffon and Raptor need to happen at some point

I think they should review the Shortbow because it sucks since the damage nerf a few patches back. As a Ranger I cannot consistently deliver the damage I should be dealing. I use the Warhorn skill Call of the Wild, Rampage as One, “Sick ’Em”, Quickening Zephyr and my pet’s Mighty Roar in a build specced towards my Jungle Stalker ripping through mobs but the damage isn’t there. Essentially I am sacrificing my utility slots to add to the damage and I still come up short.

They need to give pets full Agony resistance right now. I do not think it should scale with the player’s resistance nor do I think it should be left to a later date! Basically our class mechanic is taken away in the endgame content of this game and no other class faces anything of the sort. Warrior can still build adrenaline in FotM, Guardians still have access to their virtues, Mesmers can still pop clones, Elementalists are still able to switch through their attunements, and so on…

We don’t have access to exceptional utility outside of Healing Spring and I tend to pack my skillbar with the skills mentioned above in the hope of dealing damage that is close to comparable to that of the other classes. My Mesmer brings plenty of utility in the form of Arcane Thievery, Feedback, Nullfield, Portal, Time Warp and so on WITHOUT sacrificing her damage. My Warrior can pack Warbanner, “For Great Justice!”, “Shake it off!”, and all the non-elite banners as required but still deal massive amounts of damage. I am not even going to mention the incredible utility that Guardians and Engineers can bring to battle. At the moment I do not feel that my Ranger brings anything superior to what my Mesmer, Guardian and Warrior have at their disposal. The damage nerf did hurt badly in my humble opinion because we had to work hard to even try and draw level even before they nerfed it. The utility we bring isn’t worth it because other classes have better utility and still deal higher damage.

What do Rangers bring to the table that make them a solid selection?

This is such nonsense, I honestly cannot tell if the OP is attempting to bait people into responding negatively or genuinely believes what he is saying. Your anecdotal tales about sPvP success are not sufficient to claim a class which is one of the most bugged and sub-par out there is close to perfection. Your claims are a laughable at best and actually offensive to the people that are submitting bug reports and take the time to type out suggestions for future changes to the class.

Any news on when this will be addressed?!

So today I was looking forward to buying my warrior a few pieces of exotic armor which is nice because I just hit level 80 and he was still wearing rather old/weak gear. Statswise I quite liked the look of the Melandru Armor sold in Cursed Shore and so I ran all the way from Fort Trinity to the Cursed Shore with only a Greatsword and Signet of Rage to help me on my way.

As a result of the recent patch I earned 10 Jugs of Liquid Karma from the monthly reward and used a karma booster to amplify it. Given that I had a bit of Karma saved up on top of that I was able to afford three pieces of Aurora armor of Melandru. However after buying the Heavy Aurora Breastplate and the Heavy Aurora Leggings I managed to misclick. I honestly cannot fathom how this happened but I managed to buy a second pair of leggings instead of Heavy Aurora Boots. Due to the fact that the Karma vendor offers no way to undo the transaction and I cannot even salvage them I have just wasted 42,000 Karma. I honestly have no words right now and am indeed rather upset. Now I am assuming that this is just tough luck really and I need to be more careful where I click, but writing about this and at least exploring this avenue has been rather therapeutic because it offers a glimmer of hope (even if the situation is forlorn and this is all for naught). Anyways I thought I would give it a try, thanks for listening/reading!
