I am curious where you get the statistics to make your assumptions a t s e. Most roamers are engineers? What server is that on? I know on Maguuma, SoR, JQ, TC, and BG, I almost exclusively see thieves, with the rare engineer. I list those servers specifically, simply because one of them is the one I am on, and the others are the ones I have battled against lately.

Any player who wants to win any roaming fight right now should roll Engineer, why?
Condi meta? Check
Good 1v1? Check
Good 1vX? Check
Good AoE? Check
Good survivability? Check

Bam, you got your golden profession.

Necro fits all that too… then golden profession for roaming is necro too?

Anet needs to experiment something : give more access to stealth/camouflage in utility for ranger and see how ranger will become!

Im taking a guess they will become on of the top class for 1vsX xD

(that idea is motivated behind the fact that ranger is suppose to be a skirmishing class, but when wielding a longbow you are ALMOST immobile xD).

I noticed a lack of Ranger skills display on youtube. By this, i mean there is almost no ranger video compared to other class!

So, i do think ranger is the hardest class to master in gw2.

Does it actually happen? I mean as far as see, ranger are just good at killing a bunch of uplvl…

So my question, Have you ever been victim of a ranger that fought you 1vsX?

I would get Sword + dagger. It can provide 2-3 sec of chain evade and you get in instant disengage trough #2. If you are good enough, you can use the #2 leap twice to get away from the danger. It has also a superior distance as well as a lower cooldown. Plus the sword #1 have better dps than GS.

Spider is unreliable and muddy terrain is ok… entangle is not an elite i would carry. Yet again, i dont think it can be enough vs skilled player :P

rangers have OP condi removal if u use all of them, 3 from EB every 10 sec, 6-8 from SotF every 30 or so seconds, 1 from SoR, 2 from sigils of generosity and purity every 9-10 seconds, and healing spring is overkill… but that’s the most out of any class I believe (except for ele probably)

Nobody spec for that or you will lack in dmg.

And for condition in general, i would empatic bond is the way to go. You MUST practice yourself with pet swapping because it kills your pet fast!

I was able to achieve an avg condi cleanse of 51/min while having 2100 condition damage, 3100 armor, 500 healing power, 22k hp. You’ll lack damage, but it depends on the build you’re facing.

I dislike this kind of build because any intelligent opponent can simply walk away and you cant do anything about it.

Rangers are the coolest class. The s/d weapon combo is just magical to play. It feels so graceful. The second I put a sword on my ranger I effectively stopped playing all other classes.

Plus PvE is ridiculously easy as a ranger.

Ranger sword must be the most horrible weapon in all of guildwars the way it moves roots your character. It looks flashy but is absolute trash.

Sword the only weapon i carry on my ranger no matter what. I dont use much of the #1 but #2 + #3 is just fantastic.

Well the lupicus vid, they reflect his attack making #5 look strong :P

Or you can just equip GS + S/X and be as fast as a GS + S/H warrior…

Notice it blocks when you stomp and revive someone

It seems you havents tested it enough!

It procs when you stomp someone, when you revive someone, everywhere where there is channeling time and you wield melee!

I cant count the number of time i blocked the engi/warrior #2 in downed state when stomping

Tool tip says so…

The striders defense one is useless it block only projectile and only when you attacking… WTH?

Sigil with stacks loosing all their charges upon entering water. Is it normal?

On F1 you can heartseeker in it to have leap finisher (if they shadow refuge + HS spam it, its annoying since they have the time to get their initiative back) and condition removal on 1 skill every 35 sec -______________-. And for the pet QQ, i am facing more and more thief that perma stealth on my pet and i cant do nothing about it. And, blind on stealth cripples me since the pet is always near me when no target in sight. For a ranger, blind is a bane since ranged weapon already have bug if you dont face the target. Therefore with the thief mobility, your LB knock back have high chance to never go off and they can add the blind on that its 60% miss chance…For the mesmer, i dont really see a problem since the dmg the clone/phantasm are so high AND ranged while the pet dmg is mediocre at best, even traited… cause of the blind on stealth. Finally, necro doesnt need their pet and are the best condition damage class…. so they dont need to target a thief to deals the majority of their damage.

As a main ranger, i find really frustrating that cloak and dagger works on pets… its like a free stealth mechanism on top of the already OP F1 they get when stealing from ranger.

Is it only me or it is a problem for everyone?

well warrior thieves aint so bad for me… atm its really the necro because of the lack of understanding about their class. ill follow the tips of archon

How a ranger is suppose to win against a necro?

I think i came up with the best thing for melee pet to be reliable in damage. Just give them the sword root attack… its freaking simple since they already impremented it and also the pet would look a bit more dynamic rather than a simple moving…. biting …. moving …. biting fur ball.

In game Name: Raining Rainbows
Server: Stormbluff isle
Game: mainly WvW and sometimes PvE.

The minor that gives might on stealth is epic… I mean, it gives you 10 might when you use shadow refuge. 350 power + regen + 10ish second stealth on one skill? I will take that anytimes.
