believe me ranger is not glass canon and is painful cause most damage is contributed by pet.
but if you combine those to that we do very good damege
and for me ranger is a beter solo class then warrior
as long my pet takes the argo i can stay save far away and shoot ad the same mob towith more mops is a difrent story mostly i try to take my bears that he get all the mobs and he can easy take them if you build alot in beast mastery and heal over time for you and you pet
my bears wont go down easy
but i dunno if my damege and my pet damege is as good as warrior
GW2’s aggro system is far more interesting than you think. If you are not 80 yet, I strongly suggest you to try some risen fight(Thralls&Brute). My bear just cant hold the aggro. I also hope that I am doing something wrong so that I could make my orr farming faster.
Though I agree that ranger is one of the best solo prof “in most situations”.

You’re doing somthing wrong then. As a glass cannon Shortbow ranger my pet often don’t reach my target before it’s dead. A shortbow build with Power/Precision/Crit can easily give you 60% critchance – Combine this with bleed on crit and you have some solid damage.
This said, I don’t think ranger reaches the highest dps.
Do you have faith in reaching the highest dps at 900+ range on your ranger, though? (Not sure if that ranger trait gives you 1200 shortbow.)
lol. Ranger’s long bow dmg increases with range, but short bow doesn’t. Longbow is a pain in the kitten #8212;in most situation, it is not possible to keep mob 1000 away from you.

currently im having 50% crit and still cant pass my cat’s dps.
30 power 30 precision and 10 condition dmg build could causes a high overall dmg but still slow. I am currently using 10 power 30 precision 30 pet build and all pet-friendly trait skills. Each time my cat attacks it will be over 1400 (crit around 3000), which is much faster than the bleed from short bow.
I hope that I am doing something wrong so that I could make my orr farm faster.

my 560TI is good. at least with playable frame rate.
The game looks awesome enough, no hurry need for a DX11 patch imo

The new build issue is surely really annoying, but what much more annoying is that I can’t even find a person to do all three phases with me on my server. It takes years for finding other people, even though there is a good chance of getting destroyer weapons.

As a ranger, I hate using longbows since they are not as effective as shortbows(bleed damage). Funny that legendary longbow looks much better than legendary shortbow. I am in a dilemma: either farm a legendary shortbow that could kill effectively and ignore what it looks like, or craft a legendary longbow which has outstanding appearance and suck on damage output…
I could work this case out myself if I could effective control the aggro, but as far as I know, bears, trolls, and especially orrs which I will mainly farm on will always aim at me no matter what pet I use. This prevents me from using longbow since the damage depends on range. That knock back skill is useless cause its CD is too long. This lead me to ranger’s shortbow, a perfect combination for condition damage and crowd control that doesn’t depend on distance.
And I find out how awesome is sword+torch: increase pet damage+huge amount of fire damage+occasional poison+evade. Well, suck to be a melee ranger but it works better.

Good to know that I am not alone. Stuck at character selection every time. Rebooted both router and computer but it doesn’t seem to work. I can still normally surf the internet.

Master Probability, whats the rate of getting two exactly same items, like what I got(kittening two leather pants with same stats)?
Should I just go buy lottery?

Please allow me to use profanity because I am extremely mad.
You know what the faq I got?
I got an exotic weapon that my profession can’t use, a kitteny weapon that I could use, and….
TWO PAIRS OF EXACTLY SAME kittenING LEATHER PANTS, YEAH EXACTLY SAME BABY, EXACTLY SAME!
ISNT THAT JUST MUCH LUCKIER THAN GETTING TWO PRECURSORS?
wtf just wtf.

Umm, so I sent my friend this trial key cause he want to know more about the game. He logged on today and I kinda invited him to do the lost shore quest.
In the end he was like “why the faq should I pay $60 for a game full of bugs”…

The Quaggan Saballa is also bugged. She is sitting in one spot not moving.
Confirmed. Apparently this cute this creature is in a “protect” event and she is not moving at all.

This is one of the most fruitful post in the entire forum lol.

By doing some research(mainly looking at your other posts), I found out that you did actually think “every one should be able to get a legendary relatively easy”. So chillax and work for it then.
No, I don’t, and I have never said so. I have always advocated that it needs to require a large time- and dedication investment, but that 1 year+ requirement is simply unsustainable and medieval. More to the point, it runs counter to everything Anet said they wanted to accomplish.
I don’t know why you keep twisting people’s word into something that suits you, but I have, once again, made my distinction for you. I think 3 months – 6 tops – is what can be required of a legendary, provided one plays 3 hour every single day. No, that is still not casual by the way. What you seem to argue is that that is too easy. I’d argue it precludes any sensible individual with anything even remotely resembling a life.
I have also played a little bit of WoW before, though I finally found out I don’t like both the game and the community. The main goal I was focusing on was the phoenix mount dropped by Kael’thas in Tempest Keep. That’s one of the rarest drop in the game and it doesn’t have any real use. In order to get it, I had to farm once a week(the related dungeon refreshes every week), about three hours each time since I was not well-geared, and the drop is not guaranteed—all by luck. I have continuously farmed for one and a half year even though it never dropped. But I still enjoy the process since it was me who chose to farm it and it was me who decided that I won’t give up.
But sadly I got all screwed up by the game and the community on other aspect so I quit before I achieve my goal.
That’s how a no-lifer I am. If you like it, go hard for it, or you will probably not get it. This is also part of my life philosophy. Don’t mean to go hard, just want to show you how much a looser I am.

Ok now I saw the question: while I was thinking that one year for a legendary is relatively fast, for you one year is relatively slow. Are we clear?
Yes you never said so. It’s me who concluded it into my own word just like what you have done. You also did a great job on twisting my word into yours. Fair enough.
I think one year is fast because the game is completely free after the first purchase. If one likes the game, he/she will go for the legendary no matter how long it will take. But if he/she doesn’t like it and is only aiming for legendary, I personally don’t think he/she will keep playing the game after the legendary has been accomplished. So take this matter to a larger extent, like rare drops and other crafting materials.
If you think the game is not as fruitful as what you expected, then leave. Easy. I am willing to invest my time, even if the final goal will “waste” five or more years of my life, simply because I love the game and enjoy the process of getting closer to the goal.

Third, is EVE Online a suitable comparison for GW2? Is this the direction Anet wants to take the game? EVE’s entry-barrier is insanely steep (something others have succinctly pointed out GW2’s is increasingly becoming) and the game is in many ways necessitating its players to utilize spreadsheets etc. in order to remain succesful.
Is this the model Anet is gunning for?
Lol. If you think the entry-barrier of EVE Online is insanely steep, you must be doing something really wrong=D. While I was in destroyers and fridges, I had such fun doing what I want to do.
EVE might not be a good comparison to GW2, but the market system of EVE is undoubtedly magnificent. The one you quoted probably was trying to compare the market system between EVE and GW2, but not the game.

Your point completely base on “every one should be able to get a legendary relatively easily”, which, in fact, is not a reasonable opinion.
That is an outright lie. I have never ever written this anywhere nor even given even the slightest indication that this was my stance. This is either your pathetic attempt at slander or your inability to properly read. Either way, I challenge you to find a quote by me in which I say that ‘everyone should be able to get a legendary relatively easy’. Oh you can’t? Thank you. Let this kittendation stop.
I said that having a carrot dangling in front of players for 1+ year (and no, people, 3 hours a day every single day is not casual. 15+ hours a day are anomalies) is simply not sustainable. It is medieval.
Seems like your did not actually read my post. Please go back to my post, ignore that first sentence which made you screw up on my opinion and keep reading.

@Nimraphel.7819
Your point completely base on “every one should be able to get a legendary relatively easily”, which, in fact, is not a reasonable opinion. If every one could get a legendary easily then it is not a “legendary”. In my opinion, legendary is the reward from people “helping” the game world in a daily basis for a certain period of time. “Helping” means that people will killing creatures, aiding NPCs, and gathering materials. In this mean, people will get loot and influence and raw materials from their daily output. For the other side, those so called causal players, who don’t want to invest the time of crafting a legendary, should not get one. There should also be a bond between the legendary and a player, which could only be constructed by investing time.
I totally agree that the drop rate is low and the bar for 80 is high. But let’s think in another way: if the price decreases dramatically, there will not be so much different between a player who reached 80 two month ago and a player who reach just a week ago. By decreasing the price(allowing the bot), it also encourages RMT since when people saw they could get everything they want with only a little amount of dollar. In this way, I agree with your point to certain extent: the price should be cut, or the drop rate should be increases, but not dramatically. This could make the guy who is investing 3 hours everyday get the legendary relatively quick.
If I invested my time in farming, I should get well paid. Thrognar.4186 points out this really well.
