Just the WvW
R3200+
not too loud buddy… GS nerf inc :p
i suggest altruism runes and the 20% shout recharge trait in beastmastery
we talk about shout builds, but its not the big whow what we wait
the problem is not the bows, the problem is the pet.
hdjfhdhxuhc nerf me! i can beat any akitten wvw with my lvl 1!
6 secs/ ranger. 5 rangers= 30 secs… if they nerf the duration it become useless without other 4 rangers and team speak. except they make something like with the hide, if u was invu for x sec, u cant be for another x.
no,it shouldnt. vitality is pointless if tough reduce everything. in that case nobody spend points on vit befor he have maxed toughness.
guardian have the best ccs
btw, you are right. im fed up with this capture the point thing.
gw1 build saving and loading system… <3
but i will be happy if i need to pay 300 gem for a profile slot. 1 click and change clothes, trait, skills
wvw must be about skills. what if u play tpvp and the enemy team have 42 members? after few times u stop playing. the 42 men team will leave without enemy, so they will stop playing aswell. but if u have 2-3 time zones. (example pm4-midnight, midnight -am 8. am8-pm4) everybody can play, more numbers will still win overall, but less covered servers with better players like us will win one region.
i played a tps between gw1 and2. name global agenda. they have something like wvw. teams capture areas, defend them and attack others. they have 3 zones. every zone is a different map and open in a specific time every day, and after close nobody able to start new sieges or capture.
maybe 2 or 3 zones in this game also not a bad idea. i hate when 100 unemployed frenchie capture everything :p
because u will see how many player left the game. its demoralise others. anet is making a smile campaign. everything is good, everything improve, they love everybody equal. the players whos left the game forever destroy this image. its good for a casual player, but not for a HC.
gw1 made everything for the hc. they talked about whats wrong now, what they want to improve, whats the next step and why. they balanced skills one day from other if needed. that was a very good era for gamers. but casuals (most of the players) always cryed abot that. is this game that buggy? why do it need 4 patches a week?
i liked the patches and the explanations. but in a perfect, happy game you dont need to explain and patch often, because everything ok
communication man, communication!
the signet share is not a good idea. image 5 immortal rangers in a party… no way…
i play only with my ranger. im a fan of rangers. but i dont like if there is an other ranger in my party. :p
im not sad, because pets was allways dead wights, except in the first 2 weeks. i like the skin of the sylvari hound
i change all of my regens with a warrior for mights
we got the speed buff and regen, the 2 worst buffs, the 2 whats less needed. because we allready have it and (and everybody can speed up and heal)
now we try to do our best. but i bet, 99% of the community will cry(finaly from the happyness) if they change that 2 with 3 stacks of might and furry :p
or what if we are the part of the reproduction cycle of the pale tree? what if we are walking seeds? after time our head fell down and became a seed
they dont put in, because in that case u can see, how many player not play anymore
just no elves and orcs…. nerf the rangers more, but pls no more pointy ears…
hand builded guild halls! GH with living environment, quests, missions, enemys! yummi
just wohwhee! nice writing
my opinion: merge the longbow range trait with the recharge. new trait: ranger can shoot backward.
why: if we want to play ranged, we need to equick cc skills, because we need to stay ranged. but we dont have any working. run n shoot is an old archer tactic.
pet alternatives: minipet like pets: nobody can harm them, and they cant deal dmg. they provide stacking buffs for the ranger(+x% dmg whole time), or party buffs(x/y % dmg). spirits can be the same
pet alternative2: attument like modes. pet mode(good old style) or survive(speed, toughness, remove condi every x sec…), sniper mode (move slower, more dmg, crit, crit dmg) buff mode( buff depend on your weapon example)
after it, the devs just need to setup the right amount of % and finaly we can be an universal profession. not a thief, or a guardian, but we change roles faster and help where needed.
i think there are hundreds of 100+ IQ rangers whos want to talk with devs and solve problems. but discussions need 2 people.
or just sometimes a post from a dev like this: hm, good idea, we will talk about this with the dev team.
first: never use spirits, they are useless.
if u want support. put 30 points on nature magic, and use “guard”.
put altruism runes in your armor and grab healing spring for more buffs, healing. use horn for your off set
put min 20 points on skirmish or marksman for LB range or recharge
spend the other 20 points as you wish. wilderness for armor and offhand recharge or skir/marks for the other half of the longbow trait. maybe 10 points on beast and choose the 20% shout trait.
the problem is not the pet. the problem is we are forced to use that nearly useless thing. the pet cant damage anything what move and die from 2 hits. except if u trait fully on pet. but in that case, its still useless. it die after 3-4 hits, still cant hit targets and the ranger sacraficed his own power…
we want minipet like pets, whats grant stacking, passive buffs!
example: +20% crit chance for self, or u hit f2 and the whole party gain 10%
this guy never played gvg or any kind of rupt/condi/spike ranger
minipet like passive pets with buffs! party or self buffs… hmm
or attument like change between pet and differet modes… yummi. sniper mode, survivor mode!
i dont want pets. why are they force this pet thing?
the real problem is not the pet or sb nerf. i hate pets because they useless in wvw, pvp (except against real noobs) and bosses kill them immediatly. the shortbow allways was a melee weapo.
the problem: we are still the weakest class. not a real burst, tank, cc or buff class or a good mix of it.
i play ranger because i am an archer irl. :p i have a shortbow and i can do things what my character cant. shoot backward and shoot a target from 60 meters from a horse ( the shooting distance is depend on the power of the bow, not on the size) btw my bows range is above 200 meters
or that was me, when i killed an afk thief… maybe they think its not fair if they cant go and watch a movie while on the battlefield… must to nerf the dmg still they dont need to care about something like enemy…
in old times i used a 30/0/20/20/0 GS build with signets. stone /wild /hunt. speed, immortality and extra dmg with the trait.
maybe now i will try it with 20/0/20/30/0 without signets, but guard and autism… sorry altruism rune
or 0/20/20/30 with traps prety kitten in zerg i think.
the problem is not the nerf. who cares about a half decent ai what cant hit a moving target… the pain is the gain. the ranger still not good in range. not enough damage to spike down somebody befor they reach us or enogh cc to keep distance.
sorry, this nerf is because me… i beated once a thief in wvw
i just dont want to use pets. they was bad in pve and useless in wvw. now they worth nothing. give us something like elementalists attuments! a pet mode with pet, the others without it, a sniper mode, a survivor and a buffer mode (example)
just use rao. entagle is nearly useless. i use take root in pve and rao in pvp (too easy to get out from it)
i wont change my pve/wvw build. i use a gs/lb build with 30/20/20 and knight armor, zerk jewelery and weapons. i dont like squishy builds. maybe i will try this shout thing.
in pvp i will try a trap/shout combo
1: other pvp modes (fed up with capture, i want death match, priest kill etc)
2: im a ranger and dont want to use pets. give us a sniping mode (or sthing like that) what we can put in as a pet or activate when hide the pet
3: something like zaichen chest.
dont worry about pets. if u move they cant bite you. pets not moving while attack and make the dmg at the and of the attack, well they mostly bit the air behind u.
so, just keep calm and walk away
a real reason to play. if u have a lot of player, u can make big zerg, win that mean good loot. no manpower mean less win, less loot → lose more players.
other: rangers are nearly useless. let us to be a moving arrow cart lite!
what i dont understant : why i forced to play with pets? why am i need to switch between 2 pets? why cant switch between a pet and a sniper mode (or something like that)
something about pets : once i sent my wolf after a suply dolyak in wvw while i caped the camp. i watched my pet and laughed… the puppy just bit the air if its target move. the pets stop to hit and the target walk away.
something about ranger : nearly impossible to use longbow in pvp. easy to hide behind something or must go closer—>low dmg.
and btw u cant keep distance. we have 2 skills to root down the enemy, but they are useless. easy to get out.
Pls observe the wvw games. more and more bot teams rampaging on the maps. thats prety nasty when 20 players moving, targeting, shooting together.
