Guild Wars 2

Well as stated he used a one handed sword and as reported in other post it is probly the best weopan rangers have (damage wise). Its what I use. Once you get use to manually using skill one (razor naga mouse makes this eaier). Add quickness i get 6 second worth with pet swapping and quicking zephyr. Qz has a 60 second rechage however you can swap pets every 15 seconds. Add a torch for condtion damge (bonfire and throw torch). You can still add what ever stablity you need.

Many rangers refuse to use a sword becuase of what they invision a ranger to be. Dont let your pre-conceived notion stop you from trurly exploring whatthis class can do.

Joiry.2504:

Vox – no worries.

Turn autoattack off on sword? Why is it ranger is the only class that has to do this? I can’t believe how many people are trying to pass this off as a feature and not a bug.

You dont have to turn auto attack off. However you can get more use out of the weopan with it off.

Having more control isnt a bad thing just cuz other class dont have to take auto attack off is not a reason for you not too.

It basiclly come down to the player. Some people like things easy and will by pass an obsticles. Like skipping the Lt in AC. Some people dont mind if they have to try and try again to overcome a problem. Those that do become problems solver and in this case players. Overcoming the sword issue will lead you to playing better.

Its little things like this that promt people to say learn to play better. I wont go that far. However If you are up for a challenge and a ready to step up you game in even the smallest why play the ranger. If you want it easy play something else.

The main point is that rangers are not bad. We are not other classes we do things in different ways.

Use CTRL+T it will but a target above their head if you can get them before they start spamming clones.

obstructed is not just a ranger issue

The is nothing wrong with the class as a whole. I do well in spvp as well as orr and lost shores. Ranger have a lot of buggy stuff but nothing that can be over come.

Doe it make sense that warriors do more damge with a bow than a ranger actually yes. warrior a big burly types so they are stronger. Pulling back harder on the bow string translating into more damge.

I have always felt ranger are more skilled and are smarter than the average class (maybe not as smart as an ele but more so than a thief or guardian and we all know alot of warrior are just rocks).

Ranger are the jack of all trades. People cry about pet not working they work just not the way you think they should. If someone is running from my pet then 9 times out of ten they are not doing thier job. Pet cant hit a moving target use a ranger pet or the spider with its range para venom.

Learn thy craft.

My pet’s can chill, bleed, paralize, bleed, poison, give boons, heal, res and cause confusion.

My pet can sacrafice itself and lead mobs away as it attack a distant monster. So I can do what i need to: mine orichalcum, res the fallen or just bypass mobs.

Some classes do better bleed damge and bleed is capped at 25 so you dont what to push thier bleed off. So use fire the warhorn is great and stacks in duration.

Yes I know its a pain to use the short bow and the warhorn so dont.

we have other weopan like the axe and sword.

Yes the sword one skill roots u with auto attack. So dont be mindless and use auto attack take more control of your character.

The ranger can overcome anything there isnt a class that I have to second guess myself if I meet them in pvp.

I have lost my share of battle but simple put there isnt a class that consistantly beats me.

The best advice I can give is put away whatever notion you think a ranger is.
Look at all the things a ranger can do.

Dont just look at the rare damge numbers becuase opponents are not training dummies they are not going to just stand there(unless you cc them) and let you wail on them.

I mean I have been hit for 17k plus damage(thieves mainly) and still was able kill my opponent.

Are there things that could be better that could be said of any other class.
Are there issue yes but again every class has issues. Some of what you people complain about are not exclusive to the rangers.

If they never fixed any of the things that are wrong with the ranger would I stop playing one.

Hell no.

Once you have discovered your own weaknesses and learn to overcome them and then intern learned to exploit the weakness in you enemy. Its very hard to look back much less start over.

You guys are also missing somethung. The people who sold thing like the dust at very low prices wasn’t becuase thier stupid (at least no all of them). You have to have the 5% list fee. While 5% may not be alot in the beginning %5 present was a lot. I don’t think the prices have settled yet. Seller’s can charge as much as they want becuase they know alot of peole are willing to pay the price for the easy route. Gw2 has only been up and running a short time as more and more people stock pile gold prices will only continue to sore.

From what I understand it has to be a craftable armor piece.

Its tell you that you will have to buy a world transfer if you want to change your home world late. you can also use the guesting system later. but you wont be able to wvw while guesting.

I think people view the down state in the wrong light. i view the down state as a fighter with heart. Even though he has been beaten down he refuses to die. He can’t swing his weopan but he can throw dirt or a dagger. His heart and soul is still willing to fight. And just becuase you ran him throw your turn you back on him. Your oppentant isn’t dead until he bleeds out for his injures or you stomp his skull.

Now to everyone has that kind of will. But the game assume you are a hero and posses that kind of will and detrimination. If you had to spec into the ablitly would you not do it. Then some people would have it and some would and I could understand the complaints a little. But everyone has it. Those who are complaining are under estimating thier opponents and probly don’t posses any real fighting prowess.
But then again that just the way i see it.
