Guild Wars 2

Your mmr will drop low enough to where you have a 50% win chance. Just give it time.

Fire elemental powder is far better than the ogre whistle.

Welcome to Rangers in pve and wvw.

Oblivion.8307:

Please stop accusing good players of syncing.

You’re right. I apologize, I shouldn’t accuse without sufficient evidence. I’ve updated my post to reflect that.

This reminds me of the reddit thread with the vocal abuse people asking why they were banned. Such justice.

Sword dagger for 2/3. Empatic bond or no wvw for #1.

I ASK, WHY I AM MATCHED WITH PPL WHO ARE RANK 1 OR 7 OR FULL TEAM OF UNDER R20 THAN DON’T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT TOURNAMENT PLAY WHILE MYSELF BEING R50+ WITH 3.5K TOURNAMENTS AND 2.2K HOURS OF PVP PLAYED?

You’re MMR is on the low end, which may be an accurate representation of your skill or you were hit by a bug that destroyed your MMR.

If it’s the latter, you should see an improvement after the MMR is reset on the 29th.

gg no re

Rubik.7192:

1. Play spirit ranger/hambow/whatever is form.
2. Win.

How many spirit rangers on top 50 of solo queue? 1? 2?

I guess I’m the only one that doesn’t want these.

Well I went down from r60 to r90. I played yesterday too…

Did you kniw about thief clusterbombing the ranger steal? If anything is op it is that aoe 2k hps (heal and regen NOT included) combo.

It’s a 1320 heal, lying doesnt make your point any stronger.

Turret just needs a bigger cast time.

It seems to me that the skill can be case MORE than once per second, which is why I bring the number up to 2k. 1.3k (no healing power) 1.5x per second is 1.95k, I’ll let you do the rounding.

Please take a minute to attempt to understand someone else’s view before you call someone a liar. It just makes you look like an idiot.

I refuse to let this thread die. Cantha gw2!!!

Yeah in gw1 I definitely killed a god and watched an undeserving kormir become one too. (Wish I could have pushed her aside to become one myself)

Did you kniw about thief clusterbombing the ranger steal? If anything is op it is that aoe 2k hps (heal and regen NOT included) combo.

I think the simplest solution to your problem is this,

Don’t play Ranger.

Or clusterbomb for that aoe heal.

I can’t bring myself to type that much on a phone.

You got hit by kill shot and died. That is a l2p issue.

Also take note of the tpvp Ranger builds, generally they preform better roaming than anything “1v1.” I’ve done multiple 1v2s vs lvl 80 roamers by running tpvp builds. (Traps bm or spirits).

I think this video says it all: http://de.twitch.tv/ostricheggs/c/3023189

The ranger is, sorry, as incompetent as possible, eating every single CC that’s thrown at him, making him smell the ground 24/7, not able to do anything at all. And who wins? The ranger of course.

And that is because he played like an idiot and ate every active + pet twice on a glass Canon ele. This is like a guy running up to a melee warroir and wondering why he got stunned.

So you fought this thief for 20 minutes straight?

A moba would be alright if it didn’t come with the stupid cash grind systems that just draw out games and make matches snowball.

And the “8s fear” is a 3s fear given from a boar f2 after you add runes and traits to buff the fear.

Rangers know our class, however many don’t want to play non viable builds.

1) Boar is low dmg.
2) Boar knockback functions poorly and always misses.
3) 25% chance on f2 for skull fear. (3s unbuffed)
4) 40s cd on f2
5) 30 in prec/critdmg line for relevant trait (50% stun)
6) Runes wastes buffing fear.

These builds aren’t run because they are a liability to their team. If they worked they would be meta, but they don’t so they aren’t. The few people I’ve seen run gimmicks have been free kills without exception to any meta build.

There was also a time where you could run dual raven for 6k spikes twice every 14s for 12k total per 14s. Plus shortbow was long range, quickness stomps were used, and the class had less “ai.”

Then again people complain OP then get anet to buff spirits then complain about the PASSIVE ai that they made anet create.

Ranger elite is 480 hps. And the 50% nerf to sun spirit will defeat the viability of spirit builds. They will still be run of course, but they will be passed by BM.

I feel weakness could be great as direct damage is one of the main dangers to trap builds.

Any buff to traps is a good buff though. Shows how far power creep has come when the most viable ranger build at release is now sidelined by spirits and bm even though traps happens to be the highest skill cap of them.

4000 hours. So you spent 41% of your life over the last year in gw2.

I really would feel that country flag finishers would be a great addition to the PvP finisher set. This would allow different teams to represent their country across EU and NA and would provide a unique identity to teams.

In fact, guild finishers could even be added, where the guild logo is painted onto the flag finisher like the guild kite.

But I like to cap far and bunk it too. Farpoint allows your homepoint to go mid for a 4v4 and a 2 cap.

I feel like this may backfire by making ranger bring vigor which will increase the evades instead.

If lore was important to armor then anet would produce armor that wouldn’t impale the user.

Could sum up the points of the matches.

Rednik.3809:

Someone using finishers other than basic one? Lol, just lol.

Back on forums already?

I don’t miss the pvp or the elitist players who populated it. I relished watching gw1 pvp die into eternal inactivity where it should always stay. If you like it, go play it (or at least try to).

Go to a world boss event with your bear use ‘Guard’ at the boss location. Go out of aggro range, alt tab and resume browsing the ranger forum.

I used it only for the perma regen and in dungeons where it can help your cat survive some random boss AoE.

It has a lot of utility on paper, but most of it is useless in all game modes. Seriously it’s only real use is toxic afking of any possible PvE event.

Frontline wvw with natures voice and spirits unbound after dec 10. Natures voice covers boons all the time makes it harder to rip or keep corrupted. And spirits are generally awesome. So, ya, there’s that in december.

Yeah, that has been popping here and there. It might be good, but we’ll see. I can hardly consider any spirit build frontline for WvW. Mid at best. The patch next month looks very solid for PvE and WvW.

OP stated that he doesn’t want the topic to be centered around perma boons though.

Spirit death isn’t nearly as penalizing as it used to be, they had a few patches that really increased average uptime without making it too OP.

Spirits were nerfed hard. No more double actives or pulsing infinite duration blind. Plus they have a 5 limit aoe which counts the spirits themselves when 5 players aren’t around.

Don’t mention the 50% nerf to sun spirit and 33% nerf to storm spirit incoming. It will be the death of the build.

Butter.3024:

Let’s be honest watching GvG is 1000x more fun than the boring capture points. If Anet really wants esport that much then they should implemented this. It’s not even that hard to create just make a room and let people fight each other to death.

I don’t see why Anet wouldn’t want to do this

1000x, such hyperbole. Aside from being wrong and failing to understand the implications of 15v15, it also isn’t possible with the current tpvp architecture.

Welcome to Ranger, where 30 in widerness has been mandatory for forever to be viable.

I want to see spirit ranger stream.

Sigils share internal cooldowns by the way. A cooldown for sigil of earth won’t even let geomancy proc.

Fortus.6175:

They should do one for PvP ele, I would pay to see a Dev play the worst best PvP class in the game in high ranked matches.

That aside, I hope to see the dev with Kudzu, that would be really cool.

You must live under a rock, every time I see grouch on a stream he is playing ele or engie.

For skyhammer to be playable on ranger we need some form of short cooldown stability that doesn’t take up an elite slot.

What if I told you that people want warriors nerfed because they need to be nerfed?

Yeah, you got shafted by the super rare spirit crit. Don’t worry that much, 5k would have come from the warrior if you didn’t die that quickly.

What happened? I remember you all being a pve guild on GW1.

I believe Ranger lies behind warrior and thief, but tied with engie.

I definitely remeber using entangle in the volcano fractal to stop the usain bolts, when a mesmer used GS 5 to shoot him out.

This really woks both ways.

Please consider these things:

1) Profit per stack
2) Inventory space used
3) Profit divided by time held

Say you make 2g per stack, well that is 2g/365 profit per day. Also note that I can make 3g in a single run of arah.

Ever play Skyrim?

You don’t see traits very often so there is no reason to waste development time on them. Creating 480 icons would be a huge pain if they were to have the quality of skill bar icons.

I love how this thread will never die. (not a bad thing)

I alt tab to reddit or forums.

What if I bought an EU account but am stuck against low ranks as a r40 solo queue player NA?

Belenwyn.8674:

We still don’t know what the Tower of Nightmares is. Dungeon? Mini dungeon? Story instances? Meta event?

We even don’t know what will remain and in which form.

Could be the wizards tower.
