It’s open on Henge, but my guild leader said he did it not too long ago, so I don’t think it’s always uncontested everywhere.

I’m looking forward to the changes—should make things interesting.

Interesting to be sure, but I’m worried that it’ll result in a lot of awful match ups for the weaker servers or the mid range servers against t1 servers…

T8 is having problems like this as well. Definitely not due to being near towers or keeps or using waypoints, as I’ve disconnected while in citadel and the mid-lake.

Yeah, I crashed in ET borderlands earlier, going north from Hills, I think.

I’ve noticed that with my fern hound, sometimes immediately after switching I’ll hit the button and nothing happens. Sometimes it goes on a short cd like it was interrupted, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen it go on full cd with no results.

True enough, they kind of suck in the damage department. I was just curious to see how survivable they are after the patch.

Pets Survival in Dungeons April 30 patch

Well I’ve never -needed- to swap bubbles in an instance since the patch, I’ve done the new dungeon twice, done AC rumble path, and 2 CM paths and Bubbles just kinda doesn’t die anymore, every dungeon he’s ended with 25MB and face tanked several mobs for the group…

Oh yeah, then there’s also the whole Bears have ascended to Immortality and just don’t even know what death is anymore.

I did a little experiment with an ele I had been dueling in WvW. I run a tank/regen bm build, so I took SoS, SotW, and Guard and had her attack my bear, and while guard was up it basically didn’t take noticeable damage.

Just finished a molten factory run and suffice to say while the two thieves died quickly, the engineer eventually got brought down, it was only myself and the elementalist that lasted the entire fight. The only reason I lasted was because of my protection with every roll, vigour on using a heal skill, boosted stamina regen, and the ability for the pet to keep hammering away while tweedle dumb-and-dumber were busy trying to maul me. And failing horribly. I only got downed once, and the pet got me back up (I’d have been dead if it wasn’t for the pet res)

I had a similar experience. Two rangers besides me, both upleveled, and two warriors upleveled. Everyone but me wiped once and I had to finish the last few enemies alone, and then on the last boss everyone wiped before we finished the first stage, leaving me alone again. I actually got downed that time, but my pet managed to heal me up and I finished the first part, which got everyone up.

Getting Complaints About My Pet Healing Me?

Posted by: Kaos.9162

Kaos.9162

I don’t think I’ve ever had anyone complain, but I’ve won 1v4’s underwater in WvW, at least partly because of lick wounds. Faux’s regen build is hilarious underwater.

Getting Complaints About My Pet Healing Me?

in Ranger

Posted by: Kaos.9162

Kaos.9162

He probably complained because you’re basically unkillable when your pet is healing you underwater. You generally take less damage than the pet heals you for, and it keeps healing you even after it dies. It’s close to impossible to kill a good ranger 1v1 underwater as things stand now.

Downed state little OP

Kaos.9162

I also think ranger pets should stop rezzing if you manage to kill them in the process as well.

Pretty sure that the ranger pet doesn’t continue ressing you/or others when it dies. Maybe I need to actually explicitly go out and test this.. but I’m 95% certain it should be working as intended (as in when the pet is dead, it is not ressing you).

Underwater it keeps going even if the pet dies. In fact, it’s really hard to get it to stop once it starts.

It’s the high level fractals that are aggravating on the Ranger :-)

Particularly the bosses that cover the ground in random AOEs (collosus) and the darn beam at the end that targets your pet, making you swap, then targets it again in 5 seconds.

That stupid Jade Maw and his pet bias needs to DIE!! At least put a 15s CD on how soon he can target ANY of the pets (not players) -_-’

Amen. Yesterday, it targeted my pet three times in a row, then me, then my pet again. Absurd, considering that it was dead after the first time. If nothing else, I’d like to see them finally fix it targeting dead pets. Pretty sure they’ve acknowledged that it’s an issue.

Why are you on forums instead of defending it?

You might want to talk to whoever was operating those golems, while I was dead in cliffside I saw one of your golems die fighting guards. Maybe you didn’t care because you had our entire bl at that point, but it seems a shame to me to waste a golem.

Yeah, it’s pretty annoying. Especially if you want to pet swap swiftness stomp someone, and you miss a good part of your swiftness because you’re mid jump and can’t stomp.

Eh, the ranger is in kind of a rough state, and like dungeons, there are some things that we don’t do terribly well. In my mind though, that’s no reason to drop a class. I keep playing it because I love the class and the gameplay, no matter how much attention it may need.

I imagine that things will be sort of the same actually, at least for SF. Our East Coast and all day players will still be in at reset and then the numbers will grow as out massive West Coast (wesssssssssssssstsiiiiiiiiiiiiide!!!) players start coming online.

Here is to another good week of fighting and hopefully no thread closures!

Yeah, you seem to have plenty of people on. HoD’s been outmanned for a while now.

Sucks that I’m going to be 2 hours late to the show due to the change and my work schedule

Yeah, it’s going to be interesting to see how the change affects people.

Doesn’t seem to be hurting SF that much though, they have NSP keep already.

With Rapid Fire, yeah. Because it’s channeled, as long as it gets going before you stealth, it’ll track you.

@KOK: K, I see now what you were trying to say in your previous post.

One quite funny thing that happened in WvW yesterday.. There was a ranger running around outside our Keep among the ruins.. There were 5 people chasing, all level 80 (except me being level 7 thief so I feel I can be excused xD).. And no one could catch him. I had to laugh at how he successfully trolled us :P I gave up chasing him after about 5 min since the others obviously weren’t able to catch and kill him. :P

That’s always fun as a ranger. I’ve gotten away from groups of 15+ people starting in melee range. With all the evades and gs swoop, we can be pretty slippery.

I was dueling a ranger on my thief today, and we both got downed (be kind, I’m still reeling from losing my 3 quicknesses) – the pet was close to dead and he used lick wounds. I switched targets to the pet, and killed it…… and it kept healing him.

This is the same bug we have with under water pets, but it seems to have leaked over to land based lick wounds….

Maybe that was their “fix”. Having seen some of their sense of balance, it wouldn’t surprise me.

Are you serious? The cooldown thing was obviously a bug. Nice while it lasted, but I never expected it to stay.

That’s funny, because with all the other problems we’ve had for long, I figured it would be around for a while. But no, this one actually helps us, it has to go…

Although I love this idea, I don’t see it happening. It’s a lot of work that will only benefit one class. Why would they spend time implementing this when they can make new dungeons/quests that everyone can play?

My thoughts exactly. If they’ve gone this long with rangers in the state they’re in, it’s gonna be a long, long time before they do anything this extensive for just us.

1. No

2. No , if they would give us a working pet ai they would have to give warriors dual greatswords to compensate, (Skip to 11:03) :

Sad that they seem to think decent AI for pets is something we want but don’t need…

ANET Dev's that represent Thieves?

Kaos.9162

The Ranger forums is the exception rather than the rule.

If only ANet had a dev like Robert for every class. =/

Ha he is not much help IMO. He is of the mind “pets are fine in wvw, just keep them on passive and at your side”

You may not agree with his opinions, but at least he gives some insight on ANet’s stance on some of the important issues for the class, and actively responds to ideas raised in the forums. You can’t deny that there is tremendous value in the work he’s doing.

Every other class forum is a ghost town in terms of dev response, and that’s just not healthy.

The ranger community generally likes him, but having him around doesn’t really help us much. He’s on dungeon design, not balance, so the most he can do it bring up our problems to the balance team. It seems to me (and a fair number of other people, I think) that the devs responsible for balance don’t really play rangers.

Downed #3 underwater...bug or op? (pet rez)

in Ranger

Posted by: Kaos.9162

Kaos.9162

Today, there was a sylvari ranger using the armor fish pet who was abusing it so bad we had to just swim away.

it really is OP but ranger right now probably has some of the best underwater fighting capability than any other class as far as sheer damage output on targets that dont know how to stay moble and out of our underwater aoe

I have no issue with their underwater attacks at all. I completely agree that this pet heal ability is overpowered big time or even broken (because sometimes it even works when the pet is dead)

That’s funny, because on land it only occasionally works even when the pet’s alive.

Rangers skipped over again....

Where can I see that video? Im very displeased with how anet is handling my favorite class… Lets continue to let our voices speak our in-comfort, they need to eventually bend and finally dedicate time to this.

About half way down the first page of this thread there’s a link to it.
