JcBroe Well thought out post as always.

Honestly, I hope you’re wrong. I bet you hope you’re wrong.
Maybe, there is something we all missed.

Then again…maybe Anet will repeat it’s mistakes.

Datamined soulbeast traits

If Swoop is OP then why isn’t GS OP?

because it takes up an entire weapon slot. this is just an ability you can have on top of a full loadout. you can build a bunker Soulbeast with Swoop to disengage if you want, for example.

Until Anet nerf it to the ground like they did to Druid back when HoT launch lolz..

what the hell are you talking about? you realize druid remains in the pvp A tier as we speak? the minstrel druid is in the B tier as support in wvw. druid has been one of the strongest picks in pvp for two years now, and all the adjustments it received were necessary due to how broken it was.

I’m not quite as optimistic as Mistsim here, but the guy has been playing Ranger and posting in these very forums for at least four years; I find it funny that he’s being accused of being new to the class because he sees merit in the elite spec.

Soulbeast will have its place, I’m sure.

appreciate this. I don’t necessarily enjoy saying that I’ve put out multiple well received guides and clips under my main Ikiro, or played at the top mmr for years, and did gvg with some of the top guilds in the game (not on the ranger). it’s all good though, maybe I’ve gotten bad. I just feel the rangers forums are especially dominated by a handful of really negative, doomsaying, out of touch players with questionable experience in pvp… I don’t have to point fingers here. and I appreciate the pessimist as well, as long as you’re reasoning your thoughts, and are backed up with experience like Jcbroe and a few others here.

in the end, it doesnt matter. the forums are here for everyone to express their concerns or praises, just dont be rude while doing so.

so I’m not trying to white-knight anything, I’m just optimistic and excited by the possible builds (and I’ve been posting a lot because I’m stressed about exams atm). I have also made it clear that I have almost complete faith in Irenio because I’ve enjoyed his consistent work since the druid was announced. and I see Soulbeast delivering on many levels.

Did you notice at launch our Druid was nerfed so hard that it changed to Adrenaline type of resources for Astral Force because it was too OP back in Beta?
Ofc they changed it back later, but we suffered for awhile at launch cuz Anet didn’t has time to test it properly back in Beta cuz it was too close to the expansion date.

I played HoT day 1 so I know what I’m talking about.

Ofc they “fixed it” abit later, while gutting Lingering Light to be useless in PVP in the process.

My point is Beta Druid is like 10 times stronger than the current one no matter how you say it, so all these new Specialization would be gutted hard sooner or later.
This is my point. Anything that looks too good on ranger will be gutted for sure.

I still remember We Heal as One + Nature Magic were buffed one time to copy boons entirely, and patched it within 24 hrs because it was dimmed too OP lolz….

There were bug about Engineer’s Grenade to do too much damage during a time, there were issues about Revenant and Chrono having too much invulnerable frame at cap point, there were issue about Tempest giving too much heal and protection, and it took Anet 1~2 months to fix it. It took Anet 1 day to gutted down Ranger.

What has brought you to this conclusion?

The same thing that causes everyone else to post that ANet hates their particular class in their class subforum. Happens daily.

ANET are bad at class design.

None of the classes I’ve played in this game, at ANY time have played as smoothly as the ones in WoW. (Oh no! Are you triggered? )

The lore of the class means more to the devs than the actual functioning playability of each class.

So, because of your subjective opinion, ANet therefore hates every class? Yeah, makes sense…

Look, just because you can’t play the game smoothly with any class, it doesn’t mean they are clunky, it just means you need to get better.

You’re conclusion doesn’t make sense because I never said ANET hated every class.

Then your original post makes no sense because I was replying to that, what does ANets “bad” class design have to do with them hating Ranger then? That’s what the topic is about.

What has brought you to this conclusion?

The same thing that causes everyone else to post that ANet hates their particular class in their class subforum. Happens daily.

Baloney.

You who post against anyone who knows the real state of Rangers are getting tiresome.

How is it baloney to point out a fact? Go read the other class subforums, there is always someone claiming that ANet hates their class. Please cite an example of when I
“post against anyone who knows the real state of Rangers”.




Actually, this whole thread should be deleted, its utterly pointless.

My point is that they don’t hate the classes, their just bad at class design, period.

In every class sub forum, there are legitimate complaints about class bugs.
These bugs won’t be fixed, they will just be covered up with a new expansion which in itself will add more bugs….that won’t ever be fixed.

Most of rangers using full signet power builds. Ammo is to complicated.

But as an ranger with 450h I was really surprised on this patch. Ranger with bows and arrows… and no ammo. While warrior get ammo on kick and SHOUT lol.

Anet logic is the best ever since 2005.

It’s ammo mechanic, not actual ammo. This isn’t the Elder Scrolls.

How’s your ping?
Any packet loss?

Any lag will also be unforgiving to the berserker playstyle.
And yes, you will die a lot.

Are you going longbow? Mentioned a hundred times before but there is a lot of projectile hate.

Also depends what kind of playstyle you prefer and how far you want to go (unranked/ranked)

Ultimately- Try it. See for yourself. If you’re having fun, why not?

Damage modifiers, probably running BM and MM; moment of clarity (50% dmg increase on next attack upon interrupt.) and remorseless (25%dmg increase on gaining fury.) along with two-handed training (5% dmg increse and chance to proc fury.) and might stacks. Common combo is maul, hilt bash (resets maul cd.) Maul. The latter maul will hurt.
Highly telegraphed skill tho, easy to avoid. Outside of pulling that combo off, ranger GS is rather lackluster damage wise, good utility and sustain tho.
Bottom line; if you see a giant bear emerging from the ranger, and this is really easy to spot and avoid, dont get hit.

Some of what your saying is true.
The first maul will hit like a truck. And if my tiger hits right after the maul, it’s two shot damage(combined). It might as well be a Full Shatter Mesmer Combo.

However, to get that to happen, I have to use multiple utilities.
Depending on how Im set up, there isn’t much room for me to escape and try it again because it’s such an offensive build—without much escapability.

Well talking about maul damage only, and not maul + tiger f2, the second maul of the combo (maul-hiltbash-maul) will hit harder due to moment of clarity. Tiger f2 really could be used w/e, preferably after a swap to make it unblockable if traited in mm. (If target has access to blocks)

Regarding ability to escape, ofc it depends on how one build, but GS being a bit of a jack of all trades you have a block, a fast no wind-up leap, evade in leap and auto-chain. Combined with smokescale thats stealth, and if druid one could take celestial shadow for stealth and superspeed, which are great for escape or repositioning to turn the tide in your favour.

True ^

I’ve done all this many times.

I’m thinking about those times I was harassing far and had to escape vs 2 opponents.
Many times, I can get away and come back and re-open and down one.
And some times..a little bit of packet loss and lag and Im fkt lol.

It’s technically not possible for the attack to deal such a high crit.

I’ve played a build that does more than this.
It is very possible and that’s not a high crit.

This is an example of a Dragon$ hitter (you)
that got used to everyone playing the Meta and expected to be hit by a ‘Menders GS 2’.

And he (you) either
1-ignored the huge tell of the GS 2 thinking it wouldn’t hurt him

OR

2-bad responses/bad play/used his dodges already.

This is why it’s fun to play the high damage build.
But it’s not very forgiving and can either work great or go horribly wrong vs certain team comps.

Just wanted to point something out also…

I know you are playing at a higher level than me and could probably do more withthis build than I can.

I play very casually, only on weekends. I don’t play sPvP like chess.

I wonder how well this does, in the right hands, because it isn’t meta?
It’s not the typical. Even at a high level of play, as in Plat, I wonder if the opponents you fight know how to counter your build as easily as they do the standard Shoutbow Menders.

Just a thought….

Guide: Condition Druid PvP

I played the tSHI out of condi trapper in ranked and unranked. I LOVED trapper. The stealth, the repositioning, the condi bombing potential. It’s a blast, until it’s really not.

I stopped playing because the fun factor did not outweigh the unviability of this build.

IF the traps were power based, this build would be so much b e t t e r !! But alas, that is not the case.

So I am going to WoodenPotatoes your Boots Bad Build you made.

The Good
It looks like you tried to make up for what the build naturally lacks.
You did not go full traps with trapper runes and you have condi removal through wilderness knowledge-heal and lightning reflexes.
The spike condi dmg is high.
You really made the most out of light on your feet, endurance runes and vigor (LR)
There is going to be a lot of dodging.

The Neutral
I think there is a possibility you might be better served through shared anguish as you have no stability and getting locked down is death. It’s debateable.

The Bad
You’re mobility is limited.
You’re survivability is nigh if you get CC’ed.
The condi damage you deal via traps ‘can’ get removed easily.
If you get condi bombed, you’re going to die.

All in all I think you did the best with a subpar build.
On downs in a group setting, this build is hillarious. Add in some DH burning or a Necro and no one is getting rezzed.

Are you telling him ‘working as intended’?

If, what he says is true and you haven’t disputed it, then there is definitely a bug.

Might stacking feels akin to playing a engineer= clunky. Doing a thing to do another thing.

Add that with a bad internet connection and lag spikes, it’s too much to manage.

Good stuff—-most of which I knew. I guess my question, which honestly, I dont care now was “how is that build stack any more might than the others” and I think that was with guard.

And small update-
I played Lb/GS Remorseless. I love it. It’s a completely different playstyle.
I can’t reccomend if its good enough to take into the high ranks that you guys play at.

But at this level (Gold3) honestly it doesn’t play on the same playing field. It counters. No one expects the burst.

As an example, instead of trying to secure stomps against teams with necro, which can be a nightmare….. I just dps them down. I hit downs for 9 and 10k.

And it’s fun. (when we win at least)

None of the really top tier guys stream druid — and as a die hard ranger fan — I think it’s in large part because it’s not interesting to watch. I mean someone having awesome pet control is not exactly glamorous like hitting that perfect CR on a chrono.

Being good at druid is mostly about hitting your dodges and restraining yourself from using CA like a lunatic.

Edit: On the other hand there are a bunch of WvW druid streamers and people that post YT videos. WvW is so much more open as to what you can run. Melee druid is never boring.

They have no personality is what you’re saying.

ROM was the best Druid in game, for a long time.
On the best team.

If you’re saying gameplay of druid is boring, well then his personality made up for it.

And maybe this is me taking a p!$$, but honestly, if you’re great but you have no personality, — I won’t watch.

Gladomer, I can’t really say he’s not good but I will say he plays a condi build, bleh.
Plays so careful that I see it as cowardly…never taking any chances, never, ever giving up any inch of position. Reminds me of Euro style of play.

What do you mean when you say “lb dolyak – slightly more offensive and risky than s/d dolyak, but able to carry games where you cannot afford getting locked in 1v1s”

It seems…almost contradictory. How can someone carry a game without 1v1’s?
Or do you mean….fights that take too long to win?

Or are you just playing off point, moving with the momentum of the fights and +1’ing?

Currently legend 1,

Running different menders variants. Druid and ele are the hardest classes to play currently in ranked (solo or duo).

One thing you all should try to do though, is to move away from escape/cleansing Sigils. Druid does not mesh well with them because their cool down gets procced by celestial avatar use(which already removes all conditions). Especially 18second cooldown sigils will suffer hard from this

That is interesting. Thanks for the info.

I would say it has more to do with how the animals are. Dogs can swim, but as far as I’m aware they don’t hunt in water. On the other hand Bengal tigers do hunt in water, it’s something they’ve learned to do. It’s the only reason I could see for the distinction that fits with RL. I’m not against the idea, I’ve just never seen any hound or wolf hunt in water.

I know it was brought up that they’ve been doing this since release…. when somethings wrong, it’s wrong. It’s been wrong since release. Soft cc , hard CC— it’s all CC and not a condi. It should of never been categorized as a condi.

Since everyone is going condition, a few speshul Rangers think it would be great to run condi in pvp on ranger and when they do, they run entangle. Seeing how my build has just enough condi clear, that immob reks me.

anyways… nothing to see here, Im out.

Are you honestly trying to tell me that immobilized is not crowd control?

They’ve been wrong since day one.

Since these forums are a bit dead, I’m bringing up something I’ve noticed recently that isn’t entirely game breaking, but is annoying me.

IMMOB is OP.

It’s a CC effect but its listed like a condi and only a condi clear will clear it.
That is all kinds of ullBhsit. I should be able to use a stability to get out of it. But it doesn’t work that way. Why? I have no idea. It breaks rules that are fundamental to the game.

Stability clears CC.

Condi clears, clear condi.

IMMOB is not a condition.

Fair enough. I didn’t know the latency was a recent problem. Haven’t got a chance to try it yet.

Why would it be network lag?

Network lag wasn’t an issue before the patch.

Yeah, it’s easy mode. As a Druid I find a 1v2 more mangeable vs power players than I do condi specs. Vs condi specs they only need to land a couple skills and their work is done for them. It’s automatic after that….just wait. Vs power players they have to actively dmg me. I’ll stop there, I’d say more but I know I’m already preaching to the choir.

I am still interested as how one would play the following spec that Frosty is playing

When you run Menders, you hit like a wet noodle. Even when you get 25 stacks of might, using staff/or sword isn’t earth shattering damage.

When it’s suggested that the same build be used with Magi’s instead of Menders, gaining no Physical or Condi dmg for the build via Runes/Amulet, I am seriously confused as to how one would play this build.

Is it full support?

How do you play this build?
Do you ever 1v1, are you always with someone, can you hold a point solo vs +1’s?

Second thing I am curious to get some opinion on, have you noticed the rise in popularity and overpowered nature of Condis?

Me and a friend duo que and we are noticing more and more that no one is power.
The whole team runs condi and it can be overwhelming.

I have doubts whether they care.
The pvp crowd is smaller than the pve crowd.

They seem to push a lot of content towards the PVE crowd but PvP and WvW are left high and dry.

And I agree abou the healing in game. I know this because I followed the game since development. It was not intended. They had no plans of making the pvp/wvw/pve dependent on the ‘Holy Trinity’.

They also had no plans of having mounts and reasons to NOT have mounts.

But as we can see, they have backpedaled on all these issues.
