Guild Wars 2

i rly think thunderclap is one of the best skills we have and i am not talking about downed skills only.

Ranger is the only class that has to suffer for it’s class mechanic. i don’t see thiefs having low damage because they have initiative and no cd on skills or warriors having low damage because they can burst once in a while. If you take pet away from ranger the damage we do is equal to an undergeared underlvled class. We do not compensate this lack of damage with survivability either like thief and mesemer with the stealth or elementalist with decent mobility etc. Over all i don’t know if i just can’t understand the ranger but i can’t find our strong point at all. I can’t do dmg, i can’t help out with support buffs or utilities, i can’t tank, i can’t escape difficult situations….all i found ranger good at is damaging siege equipment from a safe distance with my pet in wvw which is not my goal in this game. I have a full exo ranger and thief so i have a little idea what i am talking about. Ppl who say ranger is fine or not that bad just didn’t play any other class.

that video is before the sb nerf so just think that crap dmg you were doing there is even worse now. nice to see someone making ranger vids tho, gj.

hahahaha that video rly made my day

i think you are wasting your breath. nobody suggested harpoon gun buffs so far and that’s all we got so they are not interested in the community’s opinion, besides that most traits we have are horrible and need to be removed and utility skills are useless except lightning reflex.

Considering the rage and disappointment on this section of the forums you might think they would put someone to do a little damage control, maybe a little pr, but they prefer silence. If i was your employer Jon Peters you would be looking for a job right now. To bad i am not as i am sure you are costing Anet lots of money with your lack of skill regarding handling a community or balancing classes. Loosing customers trust is the first thing that leads p2p games to become f2p. Can you guess what your game will become if it’s already f2p and continue down this road ?

i did actually tell the person i invited to the free trial not to buy the game after i saw the patch.

I would like to start off by saying that balance > content for me. I don’t care if the world does not change every 2 months but i do care when i can’t kill other classes for no apparent reason except that my class is underpowered. So let’s say i reroll to a class that i don’t enjoy as much and lvl it up equipt it and maybe even get a legendary for it THEN same crap happens to it as it did with ranger. WHAT THEN ?!?!
I guess what i want to point out is that anet can’t balance the classes and is not trust worthy so nothing can guarantee me that if i invest more time and money in this game things will be different. Well that’s how i feel about the game right now and i rly think investing more time in this game will be a waste for me. For all the pve lovers out there i bet new content sure is nice but for a guy like me who enjoys balance this blows. I was excited when i chose to play gw2 because the trinity was gone…. guess what, it’s not gone, it’s just hidden. Guardian will never burst like thief, nobody will heal like elementalist and nothing will be more useless then a ranger.

Ranger
Rangers rely on a keen eye, a steady hand, and the power of nature itself. Unparalleled archers, rangers are capable of bringing down foes from a distance with their bows. With traps, nature spirits, and a stable of loyal pets at their command, rangers can adapt to any situation. This is what it says when you look at the official website at classes. They say UNPARALLELED ARCHERS

i remember choosing the ranger class… reading Rangers rely on a keen eye, a steady hand, and the power of nature itself. Unparalleled archers, rangers are capable of bringing down foes from a distance with their bows. With traps, nature spirits, and a stable of loyal pets at their command, rangers can adapt to any situation. Unparalleled archers))))))))))) biatch please, skrit throw rocks better then we shoot arrows

and customers deserve to be lied to?

how can u fix all the other classes except for rangers…. was underwater fixing the most important thing we needed ?

omg no utility skill was addressed. i can’t believe the lies and all the waiting for this….. time to quit. i regret i spent time and money on this game

All i can say is i have 2 lvl 80 chars full exo : a thief and a ranger. Thief has more dmg and more survivability and not even by a close margin.

my solution would be making stealth last indefinitely while out of combat but make it break on taking damage so it can be used to initiate but not for escaping. just my 2 cents

what about having instead of the stow option a merge with pet option and get 20% of the pets stats and it’s utility skill, i think this would be a simple and fun fix since choosing the right pet would still be important and people that still like using a pet just have the option of not using it.

my main was a ranger but after rolling a thief all i find my ranger good at anymore is crafting

I activate Signet of Renewal and it removes all conditions and the cd on it is not 2 high, you just have 2 swap your pet to be sure it’s near you before you use it.

Many of you probably know that we have evasion on our gs auto attack. The problem i found with it is that it rarely helps seeing as i can’t use it when i actually have to evade, being the last hit of the chain it is also hard to time right. Would it not be better instead of evasion to have a 30% to put blindness on the enemy or a chance to get protection? Please post your opinions on this and if you don’t agree please explain why you prefer the evasion

I used bear when fighting lupicus and he was up for most of the time, try using the beastmaster traits natural healing and pets heal for more and use the signet that gives life regen and ur pet will be up most of the time. The short swap time from the trait will also ensure u can swap the pet before dying so you don’t get the long swap cd.

is your bear targeted so often that you really need a skill like this ? i mean i would be glad if someone took the time 2 target my bear instead of me but dunno… it really looks like you have not thought this very much.

yeah if they get stunned or knocked down they can stealth for 1 or 2 sec

i’m just saying where are all the other classes…

this is how spvp servers look these days…. so i think something might be broken with the competitive pvp since everyone is playing thief might it be possible that thief is not balanced ?
