Guild Wars 2

Double doge bow is better! Dat stun lock is real.

Go for aristocraty rune + sigil of battle… and pet swap giving might…

You loose perma swiftness for alot of might!

I noticed a couple of things to improve:

-Troll unguent is a heal over duration, pop it earlier in fight so you have full health for the first 10 sec, so it allow you to survive 15 sec (until another heal) at 100% health.
-Watch the stability boons on enemy so you dont pop knock back/wolf fear when it is up.
- Swap more often to melee in order to create distance and buy you some time before LB burst (that you should set-up abit → double #2 away then swap LB).

Other than that well done.

EDIT: Also, entirely wrong forum

Not really… Balance warrior by making unable to bind forward or auto-run as keybind. Let’s see if they GS is that mobile xD

Man it would be awsome to have a trait that give all boons present on the pet at each interval of time… (30sec??). That would be better with stability training but it’s not on demand.

If you talk about medi guard… Boon strip stability with steal and then try to chain daze him. (Use mace + CnD into tactical strike). Works wonder… I am not even a main thief and i usually beat them…

i wanna see you beat kaypud on his guard
also boon strip on steal can’t keep up with all boons guards have

gl landing any dazes with blinds aegis and blocks

Wow… I told i’m not even a main thief and I win most of the medi guard but I never said anything about beating a random Main guard (With a lots of time in the profession) as a thief… Even tough, Blind easily avoided if you pay attention a bit. Aegis and stability are removed 1st on the boon stripping traits for steal.

After that, outlast the guard as at some point he will not have that much skill out of cd
which won’t heal him, therefore letting you an open window to burst/daze chain him without real fear.

That’s my 2 cents of a non-main thief.

PS: Shortbow awsome to kite and S/P still evade and dps even when the stun doesnt connect.

so basically guards have to be noobs to lose to thief, ty for proving my point

also, think about pvp, there is usually not just 1 guard….

At somewhat equal level a thief can win. Even with troll build…

caed can’t beat kaypud, your point?

You can’t solo triple trouble… Makes no sense just like your argument.

I could pick a random thief that beaten kaypud ONCE and throw it to you… Like you can do the same and it goes forever…

but you just said that with equal level thief can win…. yet kaypud would win 100% over caed… how does it make sense?

Let’s face it, How can you judge someone skill level? Maybe kaypud played alot more thief than caed on guardian…

Anyway, I don’t even know pro player, Imo it’s just a waste of time to check pro player. You might be better than me faster. But you lack what really makes them pro player, the ability to know the game trough their experience, therefore potentially shaping next meta for their own class.

But that’s another subject of debates. I will leave this arguing since I have 0 knowledge of the competitive scene. But I don’t consider myself a bad player because of it.

Place a hard hitting skill on hit (10-15sec?) and LOWER the #5 CD to like 5-7 sec with a daze of 1/4 sec. Bring the ranger from GW1!

This would lead to an actually usefull Moment of clarity use and makes a not so dumb to play weapon.

Well “avoid” is practically impossible. But you can pack some decent regen and come out on top! (Which might be hard!)

Hello! I didn’t really know which forum area to put this…. Do you really need to have Move Left, Move Right, Move Forward bound to the standard WAD keys?

I have only Strafe Left (A), Strafe Right (D), Move Backwards (S), and Auto Run®.

I like the way it works for me, even if I do miss doing the cute asura waddle-spin (holding down the Move Right or Move Left key). I’m wondering if I am missing out by not having the Move Left, Move Right, Move forward keys.

What keybinds do you all use for moving around while fighting? Thanks!

I use ESDF so I can use more keys with my pinki while moving

And for skill ceiling pet can be managed to stun lock someone with a bit of chance which is quite strong!

And even more worst option…

Your right there are some pretty bad sigils but my point was as great as battle and energy are they are not the go to sigil for everyone. Depending on your spec there might be better options.

Yeah I know

But for diversity sake, more “balanced sigil/rune” could be fun!

I would like to see a sigil that pop protection/stabitlity on swap! It would lead to some tought before swapping.

Ranger pets are once again seeing right through illusions. The Hambow got nerfed and was apparently replaced by ranger longbow.. It’s back to choosing wether to be killed by the bow or the pet. The longbow is too strong and too fast and needs to be dialed way back. The pets need to be fooled by illusions or I have no effective defense at all.

This has been the case for close to 8 or so months.

You need to get better.

Dealing with the ranger and pet is pretty much the same as it has been.
Only now you need to dodge rapid fire.

Only 8 months? I’m pretty sure it has been this way since launch. It’s also likely something they can’t fix as it’s tied to their AI and all minions (including the mesmers which is ironic given this thread) follow it.

It hasn’t been that way since launch.
I remember ranger pets used to do nothing when a target stealthed and you had to actively retarget the mesmer and command them to attack that one before it stealthed again.

The AI back in launch was dumb.

You are right though it has been longer than 8months.
I think it was with the major pet AI pass..
maybe a year and a couple?

I think it was a fix for all mob… including pets. Any AI was standing still waiting to be dps to death after you stealthed haha…

All I can say… In order to be a good pew pew ranger with LB you need to master the melee offhand you chose to run with… (and of course be somewhat decent at landing #3-#4 on LB).

Make stealth like in sc2, barely visible but still visible…

Have fun getting rapid fired through stealth, aoe conditioned, hit, revealed, knocked out.

Smells like any angry thief post, but i will reply anyway.

First i am curious, how do you die to rapid fire with stealth and 2 dodges and a reflecting elite skill?

All classes have at least 2 dodges and yet people still get hit with RF. Funny how that works. So unless you’re saving all your dodges for rapid fire, you’re not gonna dodge it all and the long bow auto attack is just as damaging if you don’t stop it and get close. Stealth only works if the ranger has no idea what your stealth skills look like, otherwise they just start channeling when they see the animation and RF will track you in stealth. Stealth doesn’t stop damage so even if they don’t manage to get the RF off, they can always use Barrage on themselves. Most burst thieves won’t risk the HP loss+cripple to go into that area. Daggerstorm has a 90 second cd compared to the 8 of RF, not to mention it recently has developed this nasty bug of doing absolutely nothing but the animation but going on full cd. Just saying. If you’re gonna make thief sound like some god tier class who is never hit with anything, you might wanna include all factors when making your snide replies.

Oh thieves king of the pressure get pressured by bearbow now? You should try another class to see what it’s like to play versus a thief…

I would have fun getting untargeted during the whole fight and eating the all you can eat buffet (dmg wise) at the end because im the last one standing… Because its not unusual to see a thief taking forever to bring down…

ResJudicator.7916:

It’d be neat if rapid fire was changed to a skillshot. Have it do the same overall DPS, but with only one projectile (100% projectile finisher), a very small windup time, and you have to aim it (kind of like aiming whirlwind). You could rename it “true shot” or something, and make the arrow fly at an increased speed. Make the projectile a bit wider so lag doesn’t make it too unforgiving to use (i.e. you don’t need pinpoint accuracy to hit).

I think it’d make power ranger a lot more fun to play than what we have now. It’d be a buff to the very good rangers (who can now plink people in stealth, or line up piercing shots better if they opt for that trait). It’d be a nerf for the very bad players, and somewhat of a sidegrade for those in between who can kind of aim.

This change would also synergize well with the ranger’s many movement-impairing skills.

This would be impossible to land if you have a straight line… Maybe put it aoe which once again would be OP…

1 tip: dont go full rampager… go a mix between carrion and rampager. Also if you can, you still can go for some celestial trinket for the extra crit dmg!

Just put might in top three of boon stripping for boon removal on certain skill…

Chrispy.5641:

Yes on the Signet of the Wild change because giving a straight 25% buff to damage for 8 seconds allows it to be abused. The fact that its on a 60 second cool down is irrelevant. (My Suggestion for the change would be for the Skill to last 10 seconds, but drop the damage increase to 10%. gives us more stability, which we need, and drops the damage increase.)

No on Signet of Stone. Plenty of other professions have skills that grant invulnerability, and can deal just as much damage as Rapid Fire in the same time, so why not Ranger?

Dont forget we get alot of defense other than this precise signet, like protection on dodge roll. I’m for a signet of stone nerf because invulnerability without drawback. For invulnerability I would be for the fact that someone use protect me rather than signet of stone because it has a drawback.

What is not fine in the other hand, is the signet of stone and of the wild. Giving 6 sec to a class that can go brainless and down you in those 6 sec is the real culprit. Also the signet of the wild should be “shave” to a lesser amount than 25% like 5-10%.

This is my sight of the current ranger and i’m also maining LB ranger and have 900h in it. Any class that can down people in 6 sec should be down in 6 sec if overplayed. So either tone down defensive (aka invincibility) or tone down dmg.

In that particular case, toning down dmg of the longbow would cripple any non-full glass longbow builds. And nerfing survivability of the ranger would effectively require much more skills to achieve the same result.

Thats what I think folks! Let me know if I’m wrong!

I’m certainly adventuring in dangerous zone here… but what about a shadow refuge nerf?I mean everybody cry over thief excess stealth. But I don’t think their strenght is there…

The real pain is Thief continuous reset ability. And what allow it? -> shadow refuge…

I cant count the number of time I dueled Thief and they shadow refuge 5 to 10 times in a duel… And they finally get a lucky strike and win the duel… If the thief is playing badly he should be punished by not having a panic button ready to save his kitten every 45 sec.

You would say it would be the end of thief right? No, I would gladly revert lots of unneeded change for this. Thief should go in the line with all those zerker profession and not stay low risk high reward profession. You may say it is high risk high reward… but except maybe warrior (not so sure on after patch warrior), thief is the easiest zerker profession.

If you play badly you will loose badly, like all other profession…

I’m just trying to get the thief community opinion on this as I know alot of thief that dislike relying on this skill to be sucessful.

Finally, I don’t want to frustrate anybody about this, I’m just seeking the general thief opinion about that.

NOTE: WHEN I SAY ZERKER I WANT TO SAY VALK/ZERKER FOCUS WITH LITTLE TO NO TOUGHNESS!

NOTE: I APOLOGIZE FOR THE GRAMMAR/ORTHOGRAPHY AS IT’S NOT MY PRIMARY LANGUAGE

Well for defense, ranger has it… I can do 1vs3 as zerker and down someone and maybe stomp him and survive… All the defense is in the traits. All offense is there too so make your choice.

Anchoku.8142:

IMO, long bow damage and hard CC is too much for its range when compared to other ranged weapons in other professions. It is too much cheese.

Ranger should make use of long bow to do damage at 1200+ but it is too easy to just run it all the time while avoiding damage and CC from short range weapons: too little risk and too much reward. I would rather see ranger strengthened for short range usefulness than add more cheese.

Its been 2 years the LB have been this way… 2 years… and you complain now? All 2 handed ranged dps based weapon has range + CC. Ex: Mesmer’s greatsword #5, Rifle warrior #5, Engi rifle #2 and #4… But i guess only ranger LB is worthy of a nerf because of the range! (I don’t look at you mesmer greatsword that reach 1200)

Only question, How can he run away with his build? Definitly not with Horn or Shortbow. Hence, sword is the best pick for roamer in EVERY CASE.

Slavi.9137:

Why are you running Nature’s Voice without any shouts?

Cause i forgot to edit the the utilities!

Now that power ranger is viable, do you think 2vsX is possible as lets say tank + power ranger? I would really interested into doing some 2vsX as 2 ranger 1 tank using somewhat that build:
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fNAQNBhYD7kQFaZxeBxfF4axAaCV7AIT3UWFr7O4Ae4CW9A-TFiEABCp87hHCApKBpZ/hVU/BAzfcobohrAApAYSZE-w

Or full nomads

The idea is for the tank ranger to provide the AOE regen ans swiftness to the power ranger in order to make him last longer. He might also be able to carry the elite spirit too clear condi and ressurect him. The main goal of that ranger would be to drag aggro of the enemy group by sitting in their face and using all the dodge and defensive mechanic of the double melee weapon.

And the power ranger would use a unknown build atm.

This ranger would use the LB buffed DPS too do most of his dmg and S/D to kite the enemy that are on him. This ranger would require a really good familiarity with the LB mechanic in order to kite properly while pewpewing the target down.

Finally, it would act a bit like the thief + X tank synergy.

Is this possible according to you? And does someone is interested in it?

EDIT: Fixed build link

EDIT 2: ADDED DESCRIPTION OF PLAYSTYLE FOR THE TANK AND POWER RANGER

You have zero mobility. Its bad for Wvw… If you dont take sword you cant roam.

wtf are you talking about?

Anyways take warhorn, swap from inventory when you need to get somewhere.

Sword is bad, period. Your paper DPS is baws, I know.

If you want to roam you must be able to survive a thief. If you cant no point to roam. -> hence sword allow you to movement quickly in combat and dodge some hit so you survive longer. Thats my point. Mobility outside combat is overrated as roamer, since you dont have to go to specific point asap because roaming is mostly running around with no goal.

alchemyst.2165:

Thieves shouldn’t get revealed on blind/block/aegis etc. It wouldn’t be proper counterplay to spam these blinds/blocks/aegis/evades and get a thief revealed. If so, you could probably reveal a thief literally every time he stealthed. Thief is already seriously unforgiving, even with our ports, evades, blinds, and stealths.

Miss a CnD? You’re susceptible to huge burst and left like a sitting duck.
Mistime a dodge? You’re screwed.
Miss mug at low hp? You’re dead.
Run out of initiative? Again, you’re a sitting duck.

I could go on. My point is, thief doesn’t need to be even MORE unforgiving. If this change happened thief would be unplayable.

Thief is the second most forgiving class of all. You dont have to pack defense to survive like other class. If you would run 3k toughness and some decent power, precision and crit dmg I guess it would be as much cheesy as P/D condi atm. But no one think out of the box in the thieves forum, i guess its because they are not in bad shape!

Hello, i’m a main ranger (INSERT HUGE TURN OFF THERE) with 700h in the profession looking for a Roaming and SPvP guild.

My playtsyle for ranger is Power. I dont mind playing any other things but i have more fun staying with Longbow.

As for my skill, you can test it in game, I am pretty certain to have a decent gameplay for the time i have spent on this class.

Overall, I can still fill all class role in spvp but probably not as good as a ranger.

Past gaming experience: Aoe3 top 1000, LoL diamond.

Well then, by the logic and opinions of people in this thread, there might as well be no builds that require significant skill to play.

I explained to you why d/p thief require more skill than d/d ,and why shatter/CI mesmer is highest tier of skill play .
what you said is first making wrong opinions about power necro and s/f burst ele . Then throwing more glass cannon builds without any thoughts on them to us to prove you know what are the skillful builds . But sadly you proved that you know nothing about how those builds work.

Are we clear before you are just making up others opinions?

You forgot the only unviable power class -> Ranger. Any person who run a power ranger build need more skill than any of the listed class you mentionned. I don’t talk about the sniper that stay on high ground and #1 all day. I talk about the one that try to decap things or protect a point.

It’s the hardest spec atm because:
1- You have no burst, which means -> you vulnerable to burst and tank usually outheal you. So you basicly you are an attrition zerker class which is REALLY bad.
2- Most unforgiving gameplay from all glass. You more likely to loose any encounter if you miss a defensive skill (such as LB #3-#4).
3- Most timing reliant class. You need those key evades to survive.

Power ranger build are atm are high risk/low reward. It may change next patch!

I know about 1vs1, and i’m okay because I win most of time. But It’s wrong when you end up fighting a group of people and most of them are P/D. It’s just boring and bad…

So would a group of s/d thieves,group of s/f ele. It’s frustrating having many of the same spec unless your squad has their specific counter. All builds have counters it just some of those counters are not liked by some also stat wise for now.

Edit: I don’t know your spec but p/d can be trolled.

I mean S/D group can be dealt with because they are squishy and evasive. P/D are not squishy and equally as evasive. So every group end up focusing everything except these and they stack up the further the lenght of the fight is long. (because of pugs joining with those builds). At the end you litterally have only enemies P/D left if you won haha.

I know about 1vs1, and i’m okay because I win most of time. But It’s wrong when you end up fighting a group of people and most of them are P/D. It’s just boring and bad…

I mean it’s really hard to kill them… It’s the only thing I hate with them…

I’m not here to QQ. But why 80% or more thieves are playing P/D condition?

I mean the only good thieves I see runs other builds that this one. It really getting boring in WvW.

Can someone explain me why so much thieves migrated to that build?

LB and GS will still be lackluster and will not force you to play power. Other condition build will still be as good. I dont know why you saying that but it will just makes both weapon more viable. Because in those 2 weapon are considered “troll” weapon in pve as well in WvW and sPvP. Now the low dps that brought theses 2 weapon will may rivalize with other class weapons in term of ranged combat.

What most of you seems to overlook is the fact they do hurt alot from afar but once you closed the gab its like free bags. We are speaking about full glass ranger here! Which means no survivability at all. The only threat they can pose is if they are skilled.

Personnally i run almost full zerker armor and i can only hit about 2k7 on squishy (uplvl), for #1. Thats at 1k2 range.

I think you should try LB before saying anything wrong about it. Its a hard weapon that have huge flaws.

That supply (on populated worlds not on empty maps) is needed and far too many are using it to disrupt their own servers for whatever reasons.

Anet needs to understand some are just not going to work with others – they will always work against others and that ruins any chance many of us have to Play Like We Want To.

RoyalPredator.9163:

Yep, I hate this bug too, but even #2 does it. It just breaks if they get side/behind you and you don’t manually turn – it wouldn’t be a problem if – for example – thief and mesmer skills weren’t total automatic target.

I would prefer to nerf them instead of boost us in this “bug”.

For #2 you can stand still and the arrows will follow your enemy. Same for #3 and #4 but they are more prompt to be used in those pressure moment so it goes often on cd for nothing.

Btw the animation just doesnt even cast. It simply goes on cooldown. I just dont remember any other class weapon that does this.
