Guild Wars 2

Easiest to target are the rangers when i am up for a kill
Easiest to kill are the ele

Which cost for a 5 laurel and 125 badge of honor btw.

You might wanna check out wvw laurel vendor under infusions tab. There is another variety of an infusion that provides +5 stat and 1% atk against guards or something

Would love to hear ideas from the veterans/pro ranger users out there considering different types of a berserker builds.

Why berserker? It is simply the best and ideal build in terms of PvE(correct me on that if you may)

Please also consider the following:
-What do i have to bring
-How is it possible not to get kicked

This topic is to provide help for other fellow rangers making them at least 1 step ahead giving them ideas on what to do and could probably make rangers shine out of all other classes. Please try to avoid arguments and conflicts such as; my build is better than yours

At the end of the day, no matter what everyone say including the TS, its a battle of numbers. The servers you talk about arent playing dead, otherwise they would have given up fighting. They might seem dead in terms of fighting against “huge” numbers.

Jq and sor just happen to be number 2 and 3 in terms of population.

Story…

It started out to be great and exciting considering the rewards you could get from it but as time pass by it turned out to be lame and borring. Its always an introduction of new enemy npc and how they are all related..

No improvement on the rewards either. Its a never ending achievement for skins, mini, etc etc. housing could probably the only thing that was added to make it a bit.. Hmm.. Satisifying maybe?

It is sad that Gw lacks idea, improvement, and development…

its true, its true. it is how it is for a reason… but i agree that range sucks in this game

wow! a glow skin at the gem store.. people probably didn’t expect that….
what a nice strategy… i mean design. =)

would also recommend releasing it together with the legendary armors so at least players would have an option on which to go for and establish goals.

this opinion probably sounds ridiculous but i’m pretty sure a lot will be disappointed once they release the legendary tier right after releasing ascended version.

Base on the feedbacks that i’ve read on the forums, the elementalist is currently in a bad position right now and its getting lots of complaints. The mesmer is somehow if not better, could be somewhere in the middle chart and would soon get a slight improvements. I have no experience with the ele but was also planning to choose between the two class and still looking for more feedbacks.

This is very helpful. Thank you very much for this information

Female > male in terms of art. There are a lot of items in game that was designed for female toons imo

Basically feels the same.. Would rather choose the 50% endu regen over the long range damage increased any day. Marksman doesn’t even sound appealing at all. More of a nature’s magic development or trait fix. By the looks of it this would probably be all the result that we would get on december 10th update and any other suggestions from players would be disregarded.

Hi, can anyone be kind enough to leave me a link for this topic about nerf that people are talking about. Thank you very much in advance and good day to you all

Pretty sure its not only me who noticed that Ranger is actually good underwater while wielding a spear so it is somehow ideal to get the legendary imo. Not quite sure of the animations though.

Balkanwarrior.5132:

The whole reasoning behind it being not max is to get you to buy gems for transmute crystals :^)

Exactly

I knew there was something wrong with my armor color!! (T3 male sylvari medium)

Not cool anet, not cool at all… How dare you retouch a work of art!? Tsk!

Im from jq, and im ok with 3rd place. simply because 2nd is and will always be the 1st place loser. :p haha

This happens to me too.. Not quite sure of it though.. Are there any skills that could possibly block this?

Deimos Tel Arin.7391:

The Sixteenth.2561:

legendary armor that should look more kitten than ascended one.

if they release legendary armor they better make it to be able to swap skins or else everyone will be wearing the same thing and it will be very ugly.

Swap skin never happened with the legendary weapons, not everyone can afford legendary either

Icon + roman numeral would be a good idea for this

Anyone else having the same issue or is it just me?

I dont have a connection problem neither lag issue with the open world or pvp

Coarr.3286:

hi all,

i absoluteley hate the longbow, but i know a lot of ppl like it and are not satisfied with its performance. after a few minutes of thinking “how would i improve the weapon?” “what does the weapon need to bring for me to like it?” i came up with an idea.

what do you think about different types of arrows, each with other benefits and downsides. this could be implemented like the elementalists attunement or as an offhand weapon you can equip together with the bow ( no stats )

all arrows share the same skills

heavy arrow: max range 900 because of its heavy head. this arrow does scale very good with power. the attack speed is a litte bit slower.

medium head: max range 1200. this arrow has the same head and weight like the light arrow, but with barbs that point to the flight direction to create bleeding wounds for 1 sec per hit.

light arrow: like the longbow is atm but you dont need a trait for the 1500 range. also the sttackspeed is increased by 10-20%

comment

I like the idea. Would trade the pet system for this any day. Lol

Also, if you noticed that the previews position of nodes before the oct 15th patch lasted for more than 2weeks if i remember it correctly.

I agree with the TS. Its basically doing the same thing over and over even if they move it to a different location or not(don’t thing they have too). I bet those who gather t6 nodes most of the time would agree on this too and Those who gather seldom probably dont give a kitten about it at all. yeah, yeah we know those website already. i love gathering, been doing it for more than a year now and it really pays off. 20g a day while running around for less than 2 hours is way better than staring at the tp while waiting for something(!).

Knote.2904:

TBH I still think they should’ve just given Necro’s greatswords and called it a day.

Deathshroud and the tanky nature of Necros would’ve made for a good “dark knight” type class, of course, it’s just not in plate armor.

I mean…. cmon mesmer in dresses with greatswords lol.

you mean like trahearne? =)

All this request/opinion on how to modify a ranger, it will never happen. maybe there is a 1% chance that they would reconsider but don’t expect it’ll happen anytime soon.

Judging from the previews patch notes, all they do is “slightly” improve on something(around 10%-20%) and fix bugs/glitches such us fix a bug witch x skill not functioning with y skill..

Sorry for the off topic but i really love the idea of trap improvements and hoping that it’ll be included on that so called reconsider list.

Its probably just another hint for one of those “never ending” weapon/armor skins, back, including miniature rewards from achievements.

Anet is good and they are great in terms of seasonal change, not quite sure about development though…

PizzaSHARK.2741:

As far as I’m aware, speed boosts just replace each other, with the strongest one taking priority. Swiftness will take precedence over Warrior’s Sprint; you will move at 133%, not 158%.

I agree with this. One thing i am not sure of is the 5% movespeed from banners.

He did say zerk is boring so he switched to a wanna be zerk build

Maximze your advantage with 5 toons such as using all of them to farm t6 nodes. I normally get everything in less than 30 mins per toon, earning me 4-5g total (x5 with 5 toons, 2hrs.-3hrs playing). With a decent exotic gears as you mentioned it would turn out to be like a walk in the park for you. And if you ask me it is WAY better farming than running with train for champ farm. Good luck and i hope you find the best class that suits your playing style.

Been playing with ranger for more than a year now and i wouldnt think twice of Suggesting to rework ranger (back to the drawing board same with pets)

Release ascended and legendary armors at the same time. at least that way, people would have an option which ever they want to go for and future wise it’ll probably be easier to accept this one time release of both tier.

ShiningSquirrel.3751:

This is the way the game has always been since the beginning. If you are under attack while gathering, you have a chance of getting ruined materials. Nothing out of the ordinary, it’s not a bug or something that needs to be looked at. It’s just the game working as it was intended.

You have a point. Thank you for mentioning the problem with the warrior traits thats causing this ruined trash.

This does not happen to me whenever im using my 2 other toons such as ranger and a mesmer. I farm nodes with this toons almost everyday and never had encountered ruined materials as a result.

You maybe right with the idea of the game working as it was intended but if it was, it wouldnt be fair for other toons which doesnt work the way it should be.

Astral Projections.7320:

You might have a trait, rune or sigil that goes off at intervals. This has been reported to ruin mats while harvesting,

From another thread
https://pay.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/1lz1b0/psa_explanation_of_how_harvesting_nodes_produce/
“With the recent rise in prices for Orichalcum and Ancient Lumber, I was a bit disappointed to see this old bug raising it’s head. This post is here to serve a dual purpose. To shed more light on a bug that has long been reported and to help spread awareness to the player base on how to avoid it.
The issue that most find is that they will start harvesting a high value node in Orr and be partway through it while under attack and suddenly they go from receiving good product to ruined chunks/fiber of some sort. Because of how Orichalcum and Ancient Lumber is gathered, 3 per cycle, you will notice it far more with these nodes.
What has happened is that some skill or trait has gone from passive to active while you were harvesting and this has caused you to produce ruined product. For example, when a Ranger has the trait, Shared Anguish (Wilderness Survival III) and gets hit with a daze while harvesting, any immediate product will be ruined. A second example would be on the Elementalist skill Arcane Shield. If the shield takes 3 hits, it explodes. Should the shield take 3 hits while you are harvesting, after it explodes, subsequent product will be ruined. This is very easy to reproduce and should be examined by Anet.
Before you farm Orr, I’d suggest doing a quick once over on your traits and skills to prevent something like the Guardian’s Zealot Speed (Zeal +5 points in) from preventing you from bringing in as many high value goods as you should have”.

I’ll do a re-check on my warrior traits as soon as i can. Your advice is very much appreciated. Thank you

Hi, and good day to you all

Been playing gw2 for almost a year now and currently have 3 lvl 80 characters. As a regular player i farm nodes most of the time and noticed something weird while gathering with 1 of my toon(warrior).

I’m not quite sure about this but whenever i harvest t6 materials such as ori ores or ancient wood while being hit by something (could be while combat) would then result to a ruined material.

This only happens whenever i am using my warrior toon and i remember one of my friend telling me something with the same issue about his warrior.. Anyone having the same problem?

ilr.9675:

If attack power is all you care about, you rolled the wrong class :p

really? i do have a warrior… but please enlighten me and tell me the reason why i’ve rolled the wrong class. are you saying the rangers going for a zerk build is wrong? lol

javi.4963:

That’s a sweet ranger you got there, I am pursuing to get both legendary bows but it’s taking a lot of time… I am playing a full zerker too and I feel they lack something like most popular classes. I believe the ranger is an excellent class and they are the best at what they do: RANGED damage, currently I am trying to find a build to play in dungeons and in WvW and I have come up with this:

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fMIQJATVnEVEZZVQWVwahgYpYP7vLg94QJaR+DlqClIB-jkyAY/AhtQwZYUFMySQoMQJvioxWcLiGruGT5SEVLFwoKjA-w

In dungeons I use Sword/Warhorn and the SB.
In WvW I trait for power in Nature Magic and use LB/SB.

How do you have so much power? I’m sorry If I got off topic but I am also looking for something better for my ranger, any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

i agree with that rangers being an excellent class and that they are the best with what they do. be able to stay on a safe distance and unleash havoc against foes. its not that hard to keep our distance since we have lots of ways to maintain our range.

i use sword/warhorn too depending on the situation and usually combine it with the signet of stone(active) together with the beastmaster trait. you might wanna reconsider putting another 10 pts in marksmanship and notice that there are a lot of good traits to choose from.

chopps did mention that there are lots of way to boost your power which is good and that we have lots of option. but mine is more of an end gear reliant and being dedicated to the power trait.

however, i am still not satisfied with moment of clarity being in the grandmaster trait line and imo it should be replaced or moved to another.

haviz.1340:

This game turns into facebook game. Log in, chop down some trees and log out. Nothing is even remotely hard and anet can’t even design anything hard. Dungeons were supposed to be hard, Liadri was supposed to be impossible and many more. We all have seen how that turned out to be.

had the same idea with the facebook game. it does, sorta.. lol

Justdeifyme.9387:

Of course I can’t tell you what to do, I’m not doing that, but I thought it was necessary to tell you that you could use your precious time, the Bytes of Anets servers and the time of your readers to write something that actually helps someone.

like other topics saying that they’re quitting gw2 because its boring or because they’re frustrated with gear grinds? yeah… that sounds really great and probably has more purpose to it! why dont you tell them to enjoy something else instead? =)

Justdeifyme.9387:

F I R S T.3976:

for those who somehow were offended of the kids part, i sincerely apologize and i did mentione the word “maybe.” =)

but not SAB! it is still boring as hell in whatever angle i look at it. i wouldn’t even bother looking at the “bright side” of it. which one is the bright side anyway? those bright weapons? pfft!

Opinions are great and all, but what was the purpose of opening up this thread? You didn’t leave any kind of constructive feedback, you just said you don’t like it.
Fine. Neither do I, but do I open up a thread because of that?
Many other people do, SAB is probably the most popular living story update, so let other people enjoy it and do something else.

i’m sure that opening this thread would definitely leave its own feedback and hopefully anet would have an idea of how are things doing on their previews patch.
we do however have the right to open or not to open a thread if one wishes to. if you’re talking about rights, i am gw2 player and 1 must have an account to be able to post here. you’re freely allowed to say whatever you want same with what i want to do. simply means, you have no right of telling me on what to do, what to say, or what to post.

Tamaki Revolution.3548:

I’m a kid at heart, going to assume that’s what the OP meant. I’m horrible at jumping, but I <3 SAB. 0 Green/Yellow weapons here :P More SAB please (with infantile mode of course).

rofl

oooohhh… shineeey!!! _

i just find moment of clarity not quite satisfying enough. even from other rangers I’ve asked. and i’m pretty sure you know better than this

this was more of a suggestion on replacing traits that are rarely used not asking for “what else are there.” i did ask a lot regarding the topic but you weren’t even able to answer one of them.

oh! and i do know what you’re talking about. i’ll consider that as a suggestion and thank you. sorry if wasn’t able to clearly explain what i was talking about.

power? lol

No offence anet but SAB is the most borring patch ever! Thats right, im talking about Super Adventure Box. Maybe it is worth it for others (kids) but prolly not for more than 50% of gw2 population. I love this game but not SAB. I rather play something else with that kind of content. Should have never placed it on the living world achievement in the 1st place, jp tab would have been better. I know, i know… Its a “never ending glow skin.”

:)

is 10% of precision added as a bonus to power asking for to much?

What if it were to replace moment of clarity trait, would it be to much to ask for?

Is It OP? Would 5% be reasonable enough?

Mystic Starfish.2586:

I think Ranger shortbow has the fastest “1” attack, followed shortly by Thief shortbow. Ranger longbow has a barrage type attack (number 2 I believe) which is even faster, but as far as autos go, it would be shortbows

do you think ranger’s SB with 1/2 activation time is faster than a
thief’s SB with 1/4 activation time?

how can you say shortbows is the fastest in terms of auto attack? what about pistols?
a warrior and engineer with rifle, a gurdian with scepter?

mercury ranique.2170:

I think it is very unfair to judge these things on travel time. The range of e.g. a longbow can be up to 1200. There are other projectiles with a range of 300. Some bounce between multiple targets, etc. The thiefs ranged skills work on initiatieve, so there is no solid cooldown or cast time, instead you can loose initiative making you wait.

Your trying to compare things that are way too different.

i think you have no idea of what i am asking. this is a basic “which or what question” not a “comment on what i am saying”

you did mentioned that there are difference which is exactly what i’m referring to and i do know that. otherwise, i wouldn’t even bother considering those categories I’ve mentioned.

yes i am comparing all things that are way too different and i’m well aware that the LB
is way to slow to be even included of what I’m asking.

again this is a question asking for tips and advice from other player. not a judgement on all range weapon
