Still waiting to hear about these “amazing” changes.
I wouldn’t hold my breath if I were you…this is Anet. I don’t believe they have any plans for the ranger. They just simply may not be intelligent or creative enough to figure it out.
Just wanted to pop in and say that the changes listed are not all of the changes coming. Unfortunately, we can’t share everything we’re changing due to the nature of some of the changes.
In the meantime, we’ve been loving all the great constructive feedback you have, so keep it up!
:)
Can you at least expand on the patch commentary where ‘rangers have a lot of things coming’ even if it’s at a very high level? We’ve waited a year. Not sure another 6 months is fair with no feedback whatsoever…
You ask that question as if they care about ranger players lol.
They do not. We represent the lowest population of any of the classes. At this point rangers aren’t even on their radar. That’s very obvious.
From what I’ve seen of GW2 players is that those that do most of the complaining are those that go berserker with no cleanse, no utility—all damage OMG DAMAGE. nd the complain when they get beat by someone that uses their head and plays better. If you, as a berserker, gets beat, it MUST be the +/- food lol.
high base health means nothing in this game. The important defensive things are toughness/armor, block, invulnarable,self healing, dodge and condition removel . You need only a little health to survive a burst that catches you in a bad situation.
The only profession that actually has use for an high health pool are necromencer and only because lf regeneration is % of your health.
Must be a necro here. Only a necro would say a class with 10k base health is “ok” where a necro can hit 40k hp by hitting one key.
If all was the same and equally good at everything there would be no point of professions.
That’s what all this whining is eventually going to do to the game if Anet listens to them (and they have a history of listening to the whiners).
And to be clear: whiners in this context is those complaining about a “problem” that isn’t a problem with the game as it is with their own abilities to overcome a preceived problem and want Anet to “fix” the “problem” so it is dumbed down to their abilities to overcome it.
So you play a warrior or necro? Don’t lie.
Warrior and especially necro are easymode and extremely forgiving to play. Nerfs are needed to bring them in line with ALL other classes.
Its weakness is slow and obvious burst animations. If you pay attention you could bring down any warrior without that much problems on any other class.
Warrior will always be the easy class to kill some because there mechanic is pretty simple to bring someone down… But thats also its weakness.. There mechanic/rotations are simple to read and predict and there bursts skills are also all very easy to read.. And you can count another one in the list > pin down..
Its just that 80% of the people in gw2 have no idea about warrior or how to fight them.. They eat all the bursts attacks and spoil there own burst attacks on endure pain or whatever and QQ here..
You should copy and paste this response into more threads lol. It’s obvious that the community wants to see warriors nerfed. It needs to happen. Too much offense, defense, cc, healing etc etc etc etc.
Taking a quick look at this game, I couldn’t help but notice a pattern:
GW2 Activity / Dominant Profession
Dungeons:Warrior Fractals:Warrior Open World Events:Warrior Open World Bosses:Warrior WvW Zergs:Warrior Hot Join PvP:Warrior Solo PvP:Warrior Team PvP:Warrior GvG:Warrior WvW roaming:Warrior
Well with a health pool of 30-40k necros are amazingly easy to play and more forgiving than other classes if you make a mistake. Generally if you want a class that takes some skill, isn’t op and won’t make you feel like a face roller you should roll a ranger.
Is it wrong that I get happy when I see warriors complain about ANYTHING? I love it. God I wish warriors were deleted from the game.
Anet would never do anything to hurt their precious pet class. I mean 30 hps nerf on healing signet????
My ranger in full cleric gear gets 160 hps with passive regen!! That’s with 1565 healing power. It’s laughable now. I wish anet would just come out and say they want everyone to play warriors.
All excuses. Nothing should it for 16k in this game. ESPECIALLY when Im in full dire gear…Warrior kiddies defending their face roll class. ANET Just remove all classes from teh game and give everyone 80 warriors kitten
I like to see sword being viable in power builds.
It shouldn’t be the same or even close to its damage of Axe because axe doesn’t have the leap, but for now sword is lacking allot of damage for power builds.
Since the change of final thrust from AA to skill #3 its AA lacks allot of damage.
Pls consider these changes:
AA: increase all 3 hits with a flat 12% damage increase on its raw damage.
Or increase only the last hit from AA for 35% because the last hit doesn’t apply bleeding also.
This is also because the damage multiplier for sword on power is very low (0,6)
Flurry: very good and allot of damage in condition builds, but lacks allot of damage in power builds, buff the raw damage for a 20%?
Final thrust: i get the 0,75 sec casttime so the opponent has time to react on this skill.
But for now its hard to land this skill below 50% health in that casstime, because its really a 1,25 sec casttime.
Pls make this a real 0,75 sec casstime.
With these changes i see sword being used more in power builds also.
Because most warriors are using it only for its leap or immob to land a burst with different weapon in power builds.
Thank you
This has to be a joke… You want to buff warriors???! Lol really?
Ok just did a duel against a ranger…. well he just NEVER died!!
Just stack:
condi power
toughness
healing power
And get troll unguent
He did 1000+ healing per second for 10sec.. on 25sec cooldown.
Ok he invest into it.. yeah I get that..
But I go full zerker and he just evade around (ALL THE TIME!! and stacking conditions), when I get him at 50% health he just heals back to full and repeat..
Well yeah I can pop berserker stance or endure pain or shield stance.. but after awhile that all on cooldown.. so after that we cant use evade skills all the time, we just eat it.. and he just keep evading around doing almost nothing but stacking condi and heal.
Warriors are OP, but that’s balance? ….
Lol you’re reaching. Warriors are op. that’s the tend of the statement and post. If you got beat by a regen ranger with a warrior it’s a l2p issue.
plz leave before you hurt yourself
