Guild Wars 2

Even so, I will farm my own gold “legally”.
Sigh……At least there will be 1 less gold buying customer for them.( gold farmer)

Same here I stop attacking champion or veteran mobs , they drop nothing an champion kiting is no fun at all. The risk of dying and getting a repair bill is high.
so risk : reward , 1 : 0 no point at all unless some unfortunate player trigger the champion and I would try to help him escape .
Sometimes the guy got away and I got btich -slapped hard by the champ.

But the point that if a champ mob drops rare stuff, they are going to get farmed is very true though . Sight…

I think Kiran has officially lost it totally….
Well time to go do gathering and crafting… 100 lvl more to max.
Any 1 need medium armours??

Noted.. I try it out, hmm time to craft some gears with condition damage on it.

Hmm , was thinking of trying out conditions based ranger , does criti damage affect the bleeds ?
What is the ideal build you conditions ranger would recommand?

Lol , most probably the pet belongs to a ranger who is far away from his pet without realizing his pet is fighting the moas.

@alynda
Whatever you have post is totally irrelevant to the issue rangers is angry about
The patch was to fix a phantom glitch which no 1 notice .it was not suppose to do anything else except that. But Apparently it did more and nerf our damage output .
Yes the attacking speed of SB. I tested all the weapon available to ranger, SB is the 1 that I feel is the only good weapon that could just barely keep up with the damage output of other classes. But it’s beside the point .
The main point of the out rage is simple , ranger community was expecting a improvement to our multi bugged class but what we got was a nerf when the patch intention was to fix a glitch.
If you can’t see the issue here, do not post anything here to irritate the “angry mobs” here.
Lastly I hate people who thinks they are great and call ppl fail . In what way do you feel that you are more superior? Those who look down on others will tend to fail in the end.

My ranger will be sitting on the shelve till the ranger class gets a satifactory fix by Anet . I look for another game for the time being .i believe if this kind of bs crap can happen to ranger , any other class will get hit 1 sooner or later. So i have No interest to make another charc after spend 200 plus hours on my ranger and got a ninja nerf for no whatsoever reasonable purpose.

SB only attacking skill is crossfire, the rest is just support skills , every class has different play style and comparing 1 class to the other is meaningless. I do not give a squat if a warrior can “out bow” me , this whole issue is about nerfing short bow damage output when they stated they were just fixing the animation ( which I still can’t remember having that issue)
So , if they do not reverse the nerf on SB , they should just increase the damage of all the skill on SB .
Those who say that it’s only 1 arrow less , there’s not much diff anyway! Pls Shut the kitten up ! The freaking patch was not suppose to do anything else except fix a animation glitch that I have not seen any1 mention or notice.

The SB never did needed a nerf in the 1st place.
Why the hell does SB need a nerf? Give me a reason why it is op?

@ Jerry
Every 1 play differently, there’s no need to make such remarks. It’s our own choice to which kind of build suit our play style.

I have a level 80 ranger … before people wonder, the shortbow NEEDED a nerf.

Probably 90% of ALL bots are RANGERS using SHORTBOW. Why do you think that is? There are literally PACKS of them running in every zone. Why? Because it was TOO GOOD. When it is so good that it becomes the bot standard you had better expect the balance bat to fall your way.

Be honest … DPS wise you could easily get away with a Bear and skill 1 (auto attack) and do nothing else and down almost anything. Oh no we might have to work 2-5 into the rotation now. Anyone crying about a nerf should be forced to play an Ele for a month for perspective.

Because the Ranger is the only profession with a permanent pet and the short bow is the only viable Ranger weapon and it is a ranged weapon. It has absolutely nothing to do with it being overpowered.

I know it isn’t something you want to do but … I did say “be honest”. Gold sellers are in it to make REAL LIFE MONEY. There is a reason they were choosing the ranger. Any class can be used to bot (pet or no pet). The Ranger was just too good to pass up … like it or not. No amount of spin will get you out of that logic trap. Sorry, if that helps any

Ranger is used as bot , is because short bow only attack skill is cross fire, plus we have a pet to help tank plus piercing arrow trait. You can hit multiple target In a straight line. Totally fit the needs of a botter.
Ranger hit fast not very hard, but if you band 5 rangers together , it’s another story.
The fact that ranger is now use as a favorite bot charc got nothing to do being overpowered.
Bottom line, ban the gold seller and buyer .

Freky.1903:

I don’t know why you’re all so upset. They posted it in the update notes sooooo why are you all crying over it. Go use a longbow now.

Blah, long bow is still worse compare to “nerfed” SB . Do some testing and you will see what we meant.

All right guys, Anet has responded to our concern and they are looking into it now.

If I wanna use rifle , I would go engineer. But I just have a obsession in bows , so I choose ranger because of the description I read when I make my charc.
Faytte post above say it all.

Botters are on the increase especially in the centurs infested zone. Botters main aim in the game is to generate gold to sell for real life money , so Anet should start to monitor large amount of gold transaction between players and ban gold seller and gold buyer b4 inflation starts.

@ red falcon

Obviously you never played a ranger before and we use more than 1 button to be truly effective in pvp or pve.
The SB “nerf” is a very disheartening blow to the SB ranger community. So kindly pls restrain yourself from posting sarcastic remarks.

Hunterdan.4921:

Reading this, I was rather concerned. Having just checked it out, I don’t notice a difference. Though I cannot comment on the stacks.

Is it possible that this is a bug only affecting a number of people?

Hmm, try using QZ and link with quickness from pet swap trait. With the 4 sec of quickness buff, you will see the difference very very very obviously.

Guys wait a while b4 “abandoning” our favorite class,

If they officially claim it is intended, I gonna work on my SB thief or start working on a “obvious OP” warrior.

I would say all SB ranger would like to hear from Anet whether is “nerf” is intended.
Nerfing a class that need a actual boost is really way pass retarted .
Still love the game but give us a “confirmation” on this SB “nerf” issue so the ranger community can decide to stay with the class or move on to another class.

Well I am going to send a support ticket for this bull crap. I hope it’s a “error” during implementation of this “fix”.
I go work on my thief then.. At least I could transfer my gear to him..
.

Yap the damage on rapid fire stack up and show you the total damage done on the last hit.
My cross fire does about 1.3-1.5k damage per hit. I am a signet based ranger so when I pop all my signet, the damage could go up 1.8k -1.9k.

As for my rapid fire, the best damage I done so far is around 10-12k.

God… Really … This is way past retarted.. Now I really have to put my ranger aside and play other class .. Dear Anet.. Before I patch, I can’t see any glitch with my cross fire animation .. Now I do…

Oh well, can’t blame the whole BP server for the action of 1 loser .
The orbs have to go , it’s creating problems in WvWvW and virtually destroying everyone’s morale
Fight on kaineng, ! Keep the invaders out of our borderlands!

Well, still to early to tell . Who knows , you may see a very big group of angry mobs marching its way to BP home ground tonight.

I love my shortbow , it’s just that my arrows can be dodge easily , still trying to find a way to counter that. But ranger is a great class in pve and pvp or WvWvW ,it’s just that you have to fully utilize what you have in hand.

I like thief #1 and # 2 short bow skill. I make a thief becoz of that. Haha

30/25/5/5/5 for me.
I have like 50 % criti rate and almost 100 criti damage( glass cannon build)
I gain 2 sec of quickness every time I swap pet in combat so with QZ , I can have 4 sec of quickness if I time nicely . But it’s hard to watch pets Health sometimes in Zerg fights . So I use the moa( red 1 I think lol) that grant me def buff with f2. And keep pets next to me on most Zerg fights.

Haha, I am we’ll aware if the axe attack ability, it’s just that I prefer to use a bow since I play a ranger because of that.
Well maybe enabling our arrows to have bounce effect is too much to ask for.
But as I stated , arrows can be dodge so easily which I hope they can have a "target lock " ability for ranger.

Lol, no matter how fast we can fire out arrows, if they can be dodge easily , it’s still bullstool.
But yeah, short bow is devastating , if I catch a target from behind, 4 sec of quickness buff will kill them without a doubt.

Well I will stick with my 4 sec quickness “kill or be kill” tatic . Best bet for now .
Hope they “fix” the issue that arrows can be dodge easily by target. Which is my primary concern . Also can we ranger have the “bounce” effect thief have on their short bow.

Let the elite guards of supply camp , fort and garrison gets an enhancement buff if the server has a low online population presence in WvWvW.

I would usually go out of my way to run to a fallen player, if I notice the dead icon on map. I feel that players should just ask for help in map chat and I am sure a “kind hearted soul” will come to your aid.

950 kills 230 badges.

To op, I do go to centurs and I am not a botter. It’s just a easy place for me to farm up for repair cost like I say in my previous post.

Sure I can , but while I farm for repair cost, I can easily drop doing that and help defend out garrison and supply post when needed.

Well I would say ET did very well up to now, last night the orb was stolen and taken back twice. And then the defend of the garrison became a offensive onslaught push was a superb well done fiesta .

That is a awesome suggestion, I had the same problem all the time, too focus on the battles and when I finally lay flat on the battle ground, I see sparkling bags all over the place…. Oh I forgot to loot the bags b4 I got btich slapped…

i participate in battle regularly and I do farm the centurs camp for loots to sell. Why? I need to find a way to pay my repair bills.

He is the 1st born…. In short Trahearn does nothing of value and gets all the credit.. He should seriously reimburse me 1 gold for the repair bill….

RustyEyeballs.8927:

The penalty for 4 seconds of haste is just too small. I mean, no healing received? There are no dedicated healers in the game and if your bursting someone, I would think getting healed is your least concern.

Compared to other classes quickness penalties (with the same cooldown and duration),
Quickening Zephyr penalty is pathetic.
Frenzy (+50% damage taken)
Haste (lose all endurance and it doesn’t regen for 4 sec)
Elixir U (pick a random quickness penalty from other prof. haste abilities, the above)

QZ is op, I have no freaking ideal why you would say that
ranger damage is really kitteny at the moment. Without QZ it’s even worse. Do not forget, our arrows can be “dodged” so ever easily.

Let those invading kaineng come! They want a green point to show on the kaineng BL they gonna have to work “dead” hard for it.
I was from ET , I have transfer to kaineng yesterday. My guild[TSA] members will be transferring over in the morning .
We may be small in number , but we will respond to any help needed in w3. See you brave warriors in the battlefield later.!

Lol , get killed by rainbows “arrows”, woow it is going to make the victim very “excited” ..

The scaling systems is very good , way diff from many mmos, it is really boring to 1 hit everything in your path when you are in “endgame” stated equipments. I farm for gold with my friends who are like 30 lvls lower than me. The scaling system makes them fight hard with me instead of looking at me rofl stomping the mobs and waiting to just loot the kills.

loot rate decreasing Ninja patch?.

endgame ? What meaning dies it have in gw2? I am always occupied with things to do in the game, running around trying to fill up all the "hearts " on the world map, going in to w3 trying to gank invaders and farming materials and items for funds to do repair when I get ganked. Lol
Seriously in many other mmo, endgame means lowbies in group of 10 will run if they see you comming in battle field like w3 . But, it is the other way round in Gw2. Totally love this game.

For me I have been farming the centurs in w3. Pretty good xp and drop rate. These couple of days drop rate reduce to almost nothing . Any suggestion ?

The drop rate seems to be really really low these couple of days. Use to be pretty good last week.
Any 1 have the same problem?

I think at 70% criti rate should be good enough, you will criti 2/
Out of 3 hits. Its pointless to push beyond that . But that’s my personnel preferences.

I am sorry you guys arent level 80 yet, go level up instead of being a burden.
and you casuals go do spvp k thx

Really?! Low lvl is a burden? Hmm so you started te game as lvl 80? You were never a low lvl player in WvWvW ?.
Well some players just need to have a some ego management in this game.
